The result? Melt-in-your-mouth pork smothered in a velvety gravy thatβs irresistibly good. With just 15 minutes of prep, this one-pot meal is ideal for busy weeknights or cozy Sunday dinners. Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a hearty and satisfying meal your family will love.
Season the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. This step is optional but enhances flavor.
Slice the onion into thin strips and mince the garlic cloves.
In the slow cooker, layer the sliced onions and garlic at the bottom.
Place the seared pork chops over the onions and garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and additional black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker, ensuring the chops are fully coated.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker to thicken it. Cover and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Serve the pork chops hot with the thickened gravy and your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
