One of my best friends gave this recipe to me when I was looking for easy Crock Pot dinners to add to my regular rotation.

When I first looked at the ingredients, it didn’t sound like that great of a recipe, but once I tasted it, I was blown away by the flavors just a few ingredients could create!

This recipe works because it’s:

Easy to prepare. Just a few minutes to prep the pork chops and make the soup mixture and you’re dinner will be cooking.
Made without the oven. Anytime I can avoid turning on the oven to make dinner is a win for me!
A great use of dried spices! There’s no need to use fresh rosemary for this recipe. Let your pantry spices do the hard work.
Full of flavor and textures. The creamy mushroom and rosemary sauce combined with the tender meat and potatoes makes for a tasty dish.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Various ingredients on white table including raw pork chops, red potatoes, and sliced mushrooms.

BROWN 6 pork chops in a greased frying pan over medium heat. (You’re not cooking the chops through, but rather searing each side briefly for extra flavor.)

Two browned pork chops in black frying pan with tongs laying nearby.

WHILE the pork chops are browning, wash and cut 1.5 pounds of petite red potatoes in half.

Several cut red potatoes on wood cutting board with bowls of ingredients nearby.

PLACE the potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker and then place the pork chops on top of the potatoes.

Recipe Tips and Substitutions

The cook time for this recipe will be a little different based on what type of slow cooker you’re using. Mine is a 7 quart Crock Pot that cooks very fast, so this recipe is usually done in 3-4 hours on low. The cook times listed in this recipe are a suggestion, so you may need to adjust depending on how your slow cooker cooks.

You can use any type of pork chop you want in this recipe, but if you use bone-in you may have some bones that get lost with the potatoes. They could also take longer to cook than a thin-cut pork chop, so take that into consideration for the cook time.

You always have the option to skip browning the pork chops if you’re in a rush, but they won’t have that extra depth of flavor that browning gives.

The juice from the mushrooms provides enough liquid to create a creamy sauce when this recipe is done, but if you’d like your sauce a little thinner, you can add extra water or even chicken broth in before serving. Just remove the pork chops and add 1/4 cup of liquid at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

This recipe calls for dried, chopped onion (or onion flakes). If you want to use dried minced onion, you’ll want to use 2 tablespoons. If you want to substitute onion powder, you’ll use 1 tablespoon.

FAQs

Are dried minced onion and dried chopped onion the same?

They are not.

Dried chopped onion (or onion flakes) is the lowest on the scale of dried onions when it comes to intense flavor. Next, is minced onion followed by onion powder. Because onion powder has the most flavor, you’ll always want to use less if you’re substituting it for either dried minced or chopped onion.

Onion flakes come in bigger pieces than minced onion, so you can always crush the onion flakes to match the size of minced onion and use it as a 1:1 substitute.
