Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.

In the slow cooker, combine the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, Swiss cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Stir until well mixed.

Place the browned pork chops into the slow cooker, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or until the pork chops are fork-tender.

Before serving, stir the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Variations & Tips

Cheese swap: Substitute Gruyère for Swiss cheese for a deeper, nuttier flavor.

Add heat: Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle spice.

Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.

Extra vegetables: Add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for more texture and nutrition.

Thicker sauce: Remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to help the sauce thicken slightly.
