Crockpot Creamy Pork Chops over Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 packet of onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet pork gravy mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- Mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Gravy Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and pork gravy packet until well combined.
- Season and Place Pork Chops:
- Sprinkle garlic powder on both sides of each pork chop.
- Place the seasoned pork chops into the crockpot, ensuring they are arranged evenly.
- Pour Gravy Mixture:
- Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the pork chops, making sure they are fully covered.
- Cook on High:
- Set the crockpot to high and cook for 4 hours. This slow cooking process will allow the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender.
- Prepare Cornstarch Mixture:
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
- Thicken the Gravy:
- After 4 hours, carefully remove the lid and stir the gravy. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the crockpot and mix well with the gravy.
- Continue Cooking:
- Cover the crockpot again and let it cook for an additional 20 minutes. This will give the gravy time to thicken.
- Serve:
- Once the gravy has thickened to your liking, serve the creamy pork chops over a bed of mashed potatoes.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of black pepper for an extra touch.
- Enjoy:
- Serve hot and savor the delicious, creamy pork chops with the rich gravy over creamy mashed potatoes.
