I’d like to say I’ve been busy working on some delicious recipes, printables and more. However, that isn’t the case. I got so sick over the holidays.

I’ll tell ya what, the older you get, the harder it is to jump back. One day at a time is all you can do. Right?

How to Make Smothered Pork Chops in a Slow Cooker

One of the benefits of a slow cooker is that you can go for a shorter cook time on high or a longer cook time on low. The minimal amount of time for this recipe is 3 hours; however, if you’re headed to work — it can cook up to 8 hours.

Helpful Recipe Notes

1. Start by seasoning your pork chops with the salt and pepper. Brown each of them in the oil, drain and transfer to the slow cooker.

2. Grab a separate bowl and mix the cream of mushroom soup and evaporated milk until smooth. Stir in sliced onion and pour over the pork chops.

3. Cover and Cook. Stir sour cream into the mixture during the last minutes of cooking. Cooking times vary on your preference (see recipe).

4. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite side dish.

How Long Does it Take to Cook Pork Chops in a Slow Cooker?

Most recipes that include pork will take 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Most importantly, be sure the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160ºF.

Overcooking pork chops can cause them to become tough, so checking on them at the earlier time frame of the cooking window is something to consider.

Can You Put Frozen Pork Chops in the Slow Cooker?

Cooking frozen pork chops in a slow cooker is not recommended. The meat can possibly sit at an unsafe temperature for too long, so always use thawed pork chops before cooking in a slow cooker.

So what are the best practices to thaw pork chops? Certainly, the easiest way is in the refrigerator overnight but what happens if you forgot to take them out? Your microwave can come in very handy. Set on defrost and cook and then turn at 30-second intervals.

Another method is to thaw in cold water. You need to have your pork chops in a plastic bag and submerge them in cold water. Change the water frequently to make sure it stays cold.

Never use warm or hot water as you will encourage bacteria growth at higher temperatures.
