Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

In the past I’ve always shied away from cooking thick pork chops because it was so hard to get it just right!

If you cook too little people are afraid of the pink inside a pork chop.  But cook too long and and you are eating something not so tender.

But once I discovered slow cooking pork chops in a crock pot, that was a game changer!

This is by far my most favorite ever keto pork chop recipe and the mushroom sauce makes it even that much more decadent!

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 6 hours

Total Time 6 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

Pork Chops:

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
• ½ cup chicken broth

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

• ½ c. heavy cream
• 8 oz. cream cheese, cut into small cubes
• 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add crushed garlic cloves and saute until the cloves turn golden, approximately 2 minutes. Remove garlic to a plate.
2. Season the chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Add to the hot skillet and sear chops on each side until nicely browned, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with the garlic and set aside.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and develop nice color, approximately 5-6 minutes.
4. Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth and gently scraping the skillet with a spatula to loosen the flavorful brown bits from the bottom. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Transfer the pork chops to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker or crock pot and pour the mushrooms and broth on top.
6. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Once finished, remove the lid and transfer the chops to a plate.
7. Add 1-2 tbsp of the hot cooking liquid into a cup with the heavy cream before stirring into the slow cooker crock. Add the cream cheese pieces and stir vigorously until it is completely incorporated into the sauce with no remaining lumps.
8. Transfer chops to individual serving plates and top with some of the creamy mushroom sauce and some fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with cauliflower mash or your choice of sides. Enjoy!
