Slow Cooker Pork Chops & Potatoes
This sounds like an excellent slow cooker meal. Servings are based on the number of chops you use. The use of a mandoline for slicing is highly recommended. Links to the Shortcuts are listed in the Notes section.
Equipment
- Mandoline
- Slow Cooker (6+ quart)
Ingredients
- 4-6 pork chops, bone in or out is fine
- 4-6 medium potatoes, peeled or unpeeled is your choice
- 1 carrot, peeled or unpeeled is your choice
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, (10½ oz / 298 g), Shortcut
- 1 can condensed cream of onion soup, (10½ oz / 298 g), Shortcut
- ½ can milk, (¾ cup if making the soup from scratch)
- butter, as needed
- salt and pepper, as needed
Instructions
- The use of a mandoline is highly recommended, which is what I used. Thinly slice the potatoes and carrot. I used 5 potatoes, peeled.
- Grease the slow cooker with butter or cooking spray. Add half of the potatoes in an even layer, then cover them with half of the carrot in an even layer. Add salt and pepper as desired, and add 3-5 pats of butter. This is the first layer.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and carrot, and again salt and pepper the top, add more pats of butter.
- Salt and pepper each side of your chops. I used fresh cracked white pepper and ¾ inch bone in Kurobuta chops.
- Place chops on top of the potato and carrot layer. I placed 3 chops in the first layer and 2 chops on top of those.
- In a mixing bowl, add the soup and milk and mix together. Pour over the chops and spread it out to the edges.
- Place the slow cooker on Low setting for 6-8 hours or until very tender.
- Place a chop on each place, side with some potatoes and carrots, and additional sides of your choice. Enjoy.
Notes
High cost per serving based on the cost of the chops, but worth it for a once in a while meal with visiting family and friends.
