Pork Chops in the Slow Cooker Serves 4 people.
List of items needed to make a recipe.
4 pork chops without bones
1 can of condensed mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1 cup of grated Swiss cheese
1 little onion, cut into very small pieces.
2 pieces of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
1. Warm the olive oil in a big frying pan on medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper to the pork chops. Cook them on each side until they turn brown, which should take around 3-4 minutes per side.
In the crockpot, mix together mushroom soup, chicken broth, Swiss cheese, onion, garlic, and dried thyme. Mix thoroughly by stirring.
Put the cooked pork chops in the slow cooker, making sure they are covered by the sauce.
4. Place a lid on the pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the pork chops are soft and fully cooked.
Before you serve it, mix the sauce well and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
Different Types and Advice
For a new taste, use Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss cheese. Gruyère has a richer, nuttier flavor. If you like some spice, sprinkle a little bit of red pepper flakes into the sauce. To prepare this meal without gluten, use a cream of mushroom soup that is gluten-free. You can also add more vegetables like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers to increase the nutrition and enhance the taste.
