Slow Cooker French Onion Pork Chops
This recipe transforms ordinary pork chops into a melt-in-your-mouth dinner coated in a rich onion gravy. Slowly cooked with beef broth, onions, and French onion seasoning, the pork becomes fork-tender while the sauce thickens to perfection. Ideal for weeknights or family gatherings, this dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or warm crusty bread. With minimal preparation and maximum flavour, it’s a comforting meal that feels both rustic and elegant.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 packet French onion soup mix or seasoning
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan and sear pork chops on both sides until golden.
- Place sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Lay pork chops over the onions.
- Whisk beef broth and soup mix, then pour over the pork.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- If thicker gravy is desired, stir in flour at the end.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Bone-in chops stay juicier than boneless.
- Searing locks in flavor but can be skipped if in a rush.
- Fresh onions enhance flavour more than canned soup alone.
- Let the pork rest briefly before serving.
- Pair with starchy sides to soak up the gravy.
