There is not much that makes me happier than coming home to a meal ready to eat, whenever we are ready. That is why I love slow cooker meals so much!
The meat is always so tender and I love the flavors that develop while things cooks slowly. This Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Potatoes and Mushrooms recipe comes together very quickly and it doesn’t take long at all to have everything ready to go.
When I make these Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Potatoes and Mushrooms at home I rarely sear the pork chops or use gravy browning. No one cares about the lack of color because the taste is wonderful.
You can add it if you prefer a darker gravy. For those of you that follow this blog you know how important I think tasty sauces and gravies are!
As I mentioned we do not usually sear the pork chops before putting them on top of the vegetables in this Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Potatoes and Mushrooms. When we do we heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a skillet over medium to medium high heat.
Wait until the oil shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances. Add the pork chops and brown them on both sides. Then we place them in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables. Also delicious but a bit more work.

When I make this meal at home I rarely sear the pork chops or use gravy browning. No one cares about the lack of color because the taste is fabulous. We added the starch to thicken the gravy in the photo and video. We did not sear the pork chops before putting them on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker and we rarely do. When we do we heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a skillet over medium to medium high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances. Add the pork chops and brown them on both sides. Then we place them in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables. Also delicious but a bit more work.

You are so right! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The recipes were recently copied one at a time and unfortunately mistakes were made! I am going over each recipe one at a time but haven’t finished yet! I am so glad you caught the error and didn’t try it with 12 teaspoons! That would have ruined a great recipe! Well we think so! Please if you have a moment let me know what you think after you try it. I would love to hear! Take care and all the best. Karin
