Easy Crockpot Pork Chops With Onion Soup Mix

By á-46

The chops are easy to prepare and take about 5 to 6 hours to cook in the slow cooker.

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (enough to coat the skillet)
• 4 center cut pork chops
• Dash of black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 envelope onion soup mix, (about 1 ounce)
• 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth (low sodium)
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1 to 2 teaspoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Brown the chops, turning to brown both sides, about 5 to 7 minutes total.
Transfer the browned chops to a medium to large slow cooker.
In a bowl or 2-cup measure, combine the soup mix, broth, and water. Pour over the chops.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate or platter and keep warm.
Strain the juices and skim off fat. Put the juices in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened. Stir in the butter until melted.
Pour the sauce over the chops and serve.
