🍽️ Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Italian Pork Chops
This recipe is incredibly straightforward. The pork chops cook until fork-tender in a savory, Italian-seasoned sauce.
Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
4 to 6 pork chops (boneless or bone-in, about 1-inch thick)
1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed Italian tomato soup (or cream of mushroom soup)
1 packet (about 1 ounce) dry Italian dressing seasoning mix
Instructions
1. Layer the pork: Place the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Add the soup:Pour the condensed soup evenly over the chops, spreading it to cover each piece.
3. Season:Sprinkle the entire packet of dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the top.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.
5. Serve:Serve the chops hot, spooning some of the extra sauce from the slow cooker over each portion. It's excellent with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up the sauce.
Tips and Variations
For a creamier sauce:Substitute the tomato soup with cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup. You can also stir in a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of cream cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
To add more flavor:Feel free to brown the pork chops in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before adding them to the slow cooker. This extra step adds a nice depth of flavor.
Add vegetables: You can layer sliced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms in the slow cooker along with the pork for a complete one-pot meal.
Alternative 3-ingredient version: Another popular method uses 1 cup of bottled Italian dressing and ½ cup of water in place of the soup and dry mix. Simply pour the mixture over the chops and cook as directed above.
Hope this helps you get another easy, comforting dinner on the table!
