Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Lightly dredge them in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer them to a slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 3 minutes until fragrant and mushrooms are tender.

Step 4

Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream.

Step 5

Carefully pour the onion, mushroom, and broth mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour this into the slow cooker and gently stir to incorporate.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the pork chops are fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.

Step 8

Serve the pork chops smothered in the rich gravy alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
