Slow Cooker Pork Chops in Creamy Onion Gravy

Directions

1. In a 5–6 quart oval slow cooker, add the onion soup mix, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and dry pork gravy mix.
2. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined, forming a creamy, pale golden gravy base.
3. Lightly season both sides of the pork chops with garlic powder, rubbing it in gently for even flavor.
4. Place the pork chops into the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer as much as possible.
5. Spoon the gravy mixture over the pork chops, making sure they are mostly covered.
6. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through. The meat should easily pull apart with a fork.
7. About 30 minutes before serving, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl until completely smooth.
8. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker and gently stir the gravy around the pork chops.
9. Cover again, switch the slow cooker to HIGH, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, until the gravy thickens and becomes glossy.
10. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

• For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream soup and skim any excess fat from the gravy before serving.
