Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
8 bone-in pork chops
2 cans (10.75 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup
5 ounces water
directions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and cook until lightly browned on each side. Place the pork chops in the bottom of the crock pot.
Combine the cream of mushroom soup and water in a small bowl until mixed. Pour evenly over the pork chops.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the pork is cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chops.
Serve the pork chops hot with the mushroom soup gravy over mashed potatoes or noodles if desired.
crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.recipe tips
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before browning for extra flavor.
Deglaze the skillet with a little chicken broth after browning the pork chops and add it to the crock pot for extra flavor.
For a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or sour cream at the end of cooking.
Adding a splash of white wine to the soup mixture can give it a splash of extra flavor.
If you have time, marinating the pork chops beforehand can make them more flavorful and tender.
Avoid lifting the lid of the crock pot too often as it releases heat and can increase cooking time.
For a healthier version, use low-fat cream of mushroom soup.
Try adding different herbs and spices to the soup mixture to change up the flavor.
common recipe questions
Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, boneless pork chops can be used, adjust the cooking time as needed. Boneless pork will cook faster than bone-in.
Is it necessary to brown the pork chops before slow cooking?
Browning adds flavor and texture, but you can skip this step if short on time.
Can I use a different type of soup instead of cream of mushroom?
Yes, cream of chicken or celery soup can be good alternatives. Or even something like cream of broccoli or cream of potato would be good.
How can I tell when the pork chops are fully cooked?
The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Can I add vegetables to this recipe?
Yes, try adding vegetables like sliced carrots, diced potatoes, or chopped onions.
What can I do if the sauce is too thin?
Stir in some cornstarch that has been mixed with cold water and let the sauce cook for another 10-15 minutes on high heat.
Can I cook this on high instead of low in the crock pot?
Yes, you can cook on high for about 2 hours, but low and slow yields more tender chops.
How should I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can this dish be frozen?
Yes, it can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
What are some other serving suggestions?
You can also serve the pork chops with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Can I use a different cut of pork like pork tenderloin or pork steaks?
Definitely, just adjust the cooking time as needed. Pork steaks and pork tenderloin will both cook faster than bone-in chops.

Great recipe! I've tried this one last summer and I added a sliced yellow onion, minced garlic, sautéed mushrooms and ground pepper for some extra flavour. DELICIOUS!

I have been making my boneless pork chops like this(on top the stove) for years . Everyone raves about them!! I will have to try them in the crockpot. I make baked potatoes and corn to serve with them

i put it all in crockpot uncooked..Let it cook for 4 hours on high..I usaed cream of mushroom instead of onion soup only substitute..So we'll see how it turns out..Crockpot cooking is something when you dont want to hassle with cooking ,braising,anything just throw it in let it cook.. my opinion always turned out for me ..Im going to try a cake next i heard you can so i will try that one next..Happy Easter everyone...

I made this once before, a while ago, and we loved it. Recently, I tried making it from memory because I couldn't find the recipe. I wound up adding one full can of milk to the crock pot....of course, the end result was too thin gravy with almost no flavor. Glad I ran across this....I will make it the right way tonight!
my dear mother in law used to make this for us and it was great. she passed away and I never knew how she made it. I ask other family members with no answers.stumbled onto it today looking for something else. I always thought she made it in the oven as she cooked it while we were at work. cant wait to try it on my own. hope it is as good as hers. thanks!!!

Working long hours or feeling lethargic tonight? This creamy mushroom pork dish will aid your menu perfectly if you want a home cooked meal without supervision by using a classic crock pot. This works with any side dish as the mushroom cream makes a perfect sauce

This recipe creates an easy work-day meal. Just pop in the crock pot and allow it to prepare this for you. You could add a dozen small red potatoes and two cups of raw broccoli increasing the water to 10 oz. This will provide an entire meal to serve 4-6. Enhance the flavor of the pork chops by seasoning them with Sazon before browning.

This is a great way to combine your love of pork with your love of mushrooms. The key to this recipe is having a good crock pot - it will make the meat especially tender and really enhance the soup. I always eat this with mashed potatoes, because it is the most delicious thing to add to potatoes!

I sautee some onions and add them and add garlic powder and a pinch of dried thyme and black pepper for more flavor. The gravy was quite thin so I'd omit the water next time.
July 29, 2013
I omit the water and just let the steam add a little liquid to the soup as I like a thicker gravy. I serve this with steamed rice and it's total comfort food. I've also used cut up pork loin in the same recipe and serve it over noodles.

This is a great recipe. To add to the flavor, when braising the pork I also added worchester sauce. In the crock pot I added a good couple tablespoons of minced garlic and some more worchester. Amazing!

Made this tonight the family just loved it. will make it again. I used kitchen bouquet to add color (brown) and seasoning on chops. stick of celery. I cooked on high for one hour than slow for 3 hours. thats all, done, and with loads of mashed pototoes.
Someone was worried about the length of time...notice the recipe says "low" for 5+ hours. If you need it faster, as I do tonight, just cook it on high for less time. This recipe looks wonderful, and I'm sure pork chops already browned will be all ready to eat in 4 hours on high in my crockpot. If wrong, I'll send another comment!
Is the one can of soup, 'condensed' or 'ready to serve'?
I'd go with condensed since it's a crockpot recipe. The ready to serve kind would probably end up too watery.

The only thing I do different is add a can of undrained mushrooms and omit the additional water. Delish!

Family really enjoyed this recipe. Did not change anything. The addition of the carrots is a great idea. Thanks.

I tried cubing pork tenderloin and using that instead of the pork chops. Served it over mashed potatoes. It was so amazingly wonderful.

I love this recipe because I can have dinner prepped in just a few minutes. One note, this used to work great in my old crock pot on low for 6-8 hours, but with my new one (my favorite old crock pot broke) I have to cook it less time or cook on the warm setting if I want to let it sit all day.

I used 4 boneless pork chops with the above recipe...and only had to cook about 6 hours. It came out delicious. This was my first meal with my new crock pot! Highly recommended and so easy!
THIS CROCKPOT RECIPE STARTS OFF "READY IN 5 HOURS" AND ENDS WITH "COOK ON LOW 6 TO 8 HOURS" WASN'T ABLE TO USE DUE TO TIME RESTRAINTS.
It says Ready In > 5 hours which means GREATER than five hours. The exact cooking times are always in the directions. The other categories of cooking times are < 30 minutes (less than 30 minutes), 30-60 minutes, 1-2 hours, 2-5 hours, and > 5 hours.

I season the chops with some Cajun spices before browing them. Then I use a low sodium soup so it doesn't get too salty. Turns out great every time.
