Excellent recipe. I used cream of onion instead of cream of mushroom soup only because I picked up the wrong soup while shopping. Turned out great. So easy and even better next day. I added fresh mushrooms last 20 minutes.

Made this tonight. I don’t like mushrooms so left those out. Did add onion though. And used cream of chicken and beefy mushroom soup and of course onion soup mix cause that’s what I had but it was great! Did low for 7 hours and 3 very thick pork chops.

I added thick slices of yellow onion as well as mushrooms, and it added a great depth of flavor.

I make this dish with chicken as well. I also add a cup of sour cream in the mix to add some extra freshness…

Looks great. I think I'll flour and brown the chops first like somebody suggested, but it still looks good without doing that!

This is absolutely delicious! I flour and sear my Pork Chops first, but other than that I make it exactly by this recipe on high for 4 hours, maybe a little more. I make this at least once a month and We LOVE it!!
Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

I've been cooking peppers and onions in the skillet on the grill a lot lately. I'll have to add jalapenos next time. Yum. I like cooking bacon that way too, although hot fat + open flame adds a nice element of danger. I used to get flank steak, but my husband got me to try the carne asada cut from our local market, and I prefer it. Not sure if it's thin-cut flank or skirt (I'll have to ask), but it looks like this

If I want 8 pork chops should I double everything else?
