Ingredients
- 6 pork chops
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 3 cups sliced onions
- 3 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Our first step will be to mix up the spices, blend well and then coat all sides of the pork chops and set aside.
- In the meantime, it’s time to prepare your cream sauce. First, get your cream cheese and crumble it into small-sized pieces. Now blend it with your heavy cream and then parmesan. You will have a thick paste of yummy dairy ingredients. Set it aside.
- Melt your butter in the frying pan over medium heat and place the pork chops 2 at a time in the pan and sear on both sides until they are slightly crispy but do not burn. Take them out of the pan and transfer them into the crockpot
- Now top them with sliced onions and mushrooms.
- Spread your dairy mixture evenly over the top of the pork chops.
- Set the temperature and timer to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, stirring halfway through if you are home to do so.
- Use your meat thermometer to make sure that your chops are 145 degrees. When they are done, serve with your favorite veggie or side dish.
Notes
4.8 NET CARBS PER SERVING
If you want to add some potatoes to your crockpot pork chops, then wait until halfway during the cooking process and leave them whole, and you can even leave the skin on too. If you cut them into small pieces then they will cook too quickly and fall apart before you are able to eat dinner.
The same is true if you want to add some nice fresh string beans from your garden. I would only leave them in there to cook for 30-45 minutes or so.
Always look for your pork chops to be on sale and then buy enough for 2 or 3 meals. They freeze so well either raw or cooked ahead.
Storing: To store your pork chops just place them in an airtight container and they will stay fresh in your refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheating: There are several ways to reheat your crock pot pork chops, it is so easy to do. The microwave will heat them up in about 2 minutes, you can heat them on a stove in a pan for about 10 minutes on medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes also. In all 3 cases cover them lightly to hold in the steam and to avoid splashing.
Freezing: These slow cooker pork chops will freeze very well as long as wrapped properly. I place them in an airtight container and then put the container in a Ziploc bag for double protection. They will last good for 3 months in the freezer.
