    Expert Tips

    • To give the pork chops a nice golden brown color and seal in the juices, sear them in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side before adding them to the slow cooker.
    • Adding the sour cream at the beginning of the cooking process may cause it to break down and separate. Instead, add the sour cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent this from happening.

    Variations

    • Mushroom and onion: Add sliced mushrooms and onions to the slow cooker along with the pork chops for a delicious savory flavor.
    • Ranch seasoning: Use ranch seasoning mix instead of onion soup mix for a different flavor profile. Add some chopped green onions to the dish for an extra pop of flavor.
    • Creamy mustard: Add Dijon mustard to the sour cream sauce for a tangy kick. You can also add some honey to the sauce for a touch of sweetness.
    • Tomato sauce: Replace the sour cream with tomato sauce for a completely different flavor profile. You can add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese for an Italian twist.
    • Lemon and garlic: Add lemon juice, garlic, and a splash of white wine to the slow cooker for a bright and flavorful dish. You can also add some capers for a tangy twist.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Transfer cooled pork chops and sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

    Freezing: Wrap each pork chop individually in foil. Place the individually wrapped pork chops in a large freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 2-4 months.

    Reheat: Place the pork chops in a dish and cover with foil. Warm in a 350 °F oven for 10-15 minutes, or just until heated through.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use chicken instead of pork?

    Absolutely! Chicken works wonderfully in this recipe. The flavor and texture will be a little different, but it will still taste great!

    Can I half the recipe and use a smaller slow cooker?

    Yes! You can cut the recipe in half for a smaller slow cooker, or you can use a smaller slow cooker without having to reduce the ingredients.

    What can I serve with the pork chops?

    These pork chops are great over rice, but other good options would be egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Vegetables like peas, green beans, carrots and corn also make a great side.

    Can I cook pork chops that are frozen?

    The slow cooker cooks the meat slowly so there’s a risk that bacteria may contaminate it before reaching safe cooking temperatures. It’s safest to use thawed pork chops in a slow cooker.
