• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 onion, sliced
• Salt and pepper

How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy

1. Season the chops. Season the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Layer the onions. Spread the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker and lay the chops on top.
3. Mix the gravy. Whisk the soup, broth, gravy mix and ranch seasoning until smooth.
4. Pour and cook. Pour the mixture over the chops and cook on LOW 6 hours or HIGH 3 to 4 hours.
5. Serve. Spoon the gravy over the chops and garnish with parsley.

Tips for Success

• Sear the chops first for extra flavor if you have time.
• Do not open the lid often, it adds cooking time.
• Thicken the gravy with a cornstarch slurry if you like it thicker.

Variations

• Add baby potatoes and carrots under the chops.
• Add sliced mushrooms to the gravy.
• Use cream of mushroom soup for a deeper flavor.

What to Serve and Storage

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice or buttered noodles and green beans. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
