If you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal that's easy to make, slow cooker-smothered pork chops are a perfect choice. This dish is made with bone-in pork chops that are cooked low and slow in a rich and savory gravy, making them incredibly tender and full of flavor. With just a few ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any day of the week.

Here's what you'll need:

4 bone-in pork chops

1 onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup of chicken broth

1 teaspoon of dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons of cornstarch

2 tablespoons of cold water

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Here's how to make it:

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.

In a slow cooker, add the diced onion and minced garlic.

Place the seasoned pork chops on top of the onions and garlic.

In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

Pour the soup mixture over the pork chops, making sure they are covered.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.

In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.

Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and set aside.

Turn the slow cooker to high and add the cornstarch slurry to the gravy. Stir until the gravy has thickened.

Serve the pork chops with the gravy and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

That's it! Your slow cooker smothered pork chops is ready to serve. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable for a complete meal.

Here are a few tips to ensure the best results:

Use bone-in pork chops for more flavor and juiciness. However, boneless pork chops can be used if preferred. If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can add more cornstarch to the slurry.

You can also add other herbs and spices to the gravy to customize the flavor to your liking.
