Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4-6 pork chops ¾–1 inch thick
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup soy sauce reduced from 1 cup
- 1 can (10 ¾ oz) condensed cream of mushroom, chicken, or celery soup
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1-2 tablespoons oil for searing
Optional
- 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch + a little cold water to thicken
- 1-2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet, Gravy Master, or Worcestershire sauce to darken gravy
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chops 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned. (This gives them color and improves the gravy.)
- Place the seared chops in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, ½ cup soy sauce, condensed soup, and garlic. Pour over the chops.
- Cover and cook on low 6–8 hours or high 3–4 hours, until the chops are tender.
- Optional thickening: Mix 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch with a little cold water. Stir into the sauce and cook on high for 15–20 minutes until thickened.
- Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Notes
- Searing the chops is the best way to get a darker brown gravy and better flavor but is only optional.
- For a darker gravy, you can also add ½–1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet, Gravy Master, or Worcestershire sauce with the other ingredients.
- If the sauce is still thinner than you like, thicken it at the end with the cornstarch slurry.
- Removing the lid for the last 30–45 minutes will also help reduce and darken the sauce slightly.
