This slow cooker pork chop and noodle dish is a comforting meal built on simple ingredients and easy preparation. To begin, place the pork chops in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix evenly over the meat, then spoon cream of mushroom soup on top. Pour chicken broth around the sides of the pork chops rather than directly over them, which helps keep the layers intact. There is no need to stir at this stage. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for about six to seven hours, or on HIGH for three and a half to four hours. During this time, the pork becomes tender and absorbs the rich flavors from the soup and broth, creating a savory gravy. The meat should reach an internal temperature of about 145°F (63°C) and be soft enough to pull apart easily with a fork.
Near the end of cooking, gently stir uncooked egg noodles into the slow cooker and switch the setting to HIGH. Let the noodles cook for about 20 to 30 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally if needed. If the pork chops contain bones, they can be removed before serving. Spoon the finished dish into wide bowls and ladle extra gravy over the top for added flavor. This meal pairs well with simple sides such as steamed green beans, buttered peas, roasted carrots, or a light salad with vinaigrette. Crusty bread or dinner rolls are also great for soaking up the savory sauce. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, and the flavors often deepen overnight. While the noodles may soften if frozen, the dish is especially satisfying when enjoyed fresh, offering a warm and hearty meal that feels both traditional and comforting.
