How to Store Smothered Pork Chops
These smothered pork chops are just as delicious when they are eaten leftover. Before you put them in the fridge, let them cool completely and put them into a sealed container.
Make sure that you top them with plenty of the soup mixture so that they do not dry out. When you are ready to reheat them, put them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warm. You can also put them back into the crock pot and heat them on high for a few hours until they are warm enough to eat.
What To Serve/Pair With Your Pork Chops in Slow Cooker with Mushroom Soup Recipe
These smothered slow cooker pork chops are delicious served over rice or mashed potatoes. The soup mixture really soaks into them and makes them extra tasty.
I also like to serve these pork chops with a side of rolls or Garlic Butter Breadsticks. You can dip them right into the sauce from the pork chops instead of putting butter on them. Just about any side dish or vegetable tastes amazing with these pork chops. I like to pair mine with carrots and a Broccoli Salad.
If you want a dessert that is just as cozy and comforting as these pork chops, pair them with a Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler.
Crock Pot Smothered Pork Chops FAQs
Yes, I always recommend lining or spraying your slow cooker. This will keep your food from sticking and will make cleaning up much easier.
No, for this recipe you will want to use bone-less pork chops. They have a better texture than the bone-in when cooked in the slow cooker, and they also require a different amount of time to cook.
Sure, if you prefer cream of celery, feel free to switch it out for one of the other cream soups.
Your pork chops will no longer have pink in the middle and will be very tender when they are finished cooking. But the best way is to use a meat thermometer and pull them out when they reach 145 degrees F.
