Pork Chops With Caramelized Onion-mushroom Sauce

This is THE most fabulous pork chop recipe I have ever tasted in my life. That is not an over statement! At the first taste of this very tender, moist chop, my husband declared it as the best pork he has ever tasted. Now, that comes from a man that always has to put barbecue sauce on every piece of pork he has, regardless of the way it is prepared. This time though, NO barbecue sauce was brought to the table! : ) The spice in this recipe are right on target. The pork is the most tender I have ever tasted. There is not one thing I would change about this recipe, it is perfect! I used 6 rather thick boneless pork loin chops and added a generous amount of mushrooms. For the gravy that was perfection, I did not have any cornstarch on hand, so I subbed flour (however, I know the cornstarch would have worked just as well). I will definitely make this one again and again and again. Thanks so much, Caroline Cooks!

This is one of the best crockpot recipes I have ever had! I added a clove of garlic, minced and used thick cut loin chops. The sauce thickened with half and half (I used fat-free) was very rich and creamy. I also used the bay leaf and fresh parsley. The only change I would make is maybe add another onion next time, just because we love caramelized onions. This one will be used in the RV also, where I do a lot of crockpot cooking.

This is a GREAT crock pot recipe because it had wonderful flavors even after cooking for so long. It's also great because it would be fantastic to serve to dinner guests. I made this recipe as posted except I used a 3# pork sirloin roast. I cut the roast into 5 thick chops and it worked out well. As with so many people's crock pots, mine runs hot so after 5 hours on low, I turned it down to warm until I was ready to make the sauce. The leftovers are in the freezer since I'm cooking for 2 now and we look forward to having it again soon.

This is sooo good! Loved it with mashed potatoes and the sauce. Will try 2 T. cornstarch next time as we like sauces a little thicker. The meat was so tender and nice, didn't need a knife.

Excellent recipe! I thought my kids were going to swallow their plates these were sooooooo good! This meal was literally inhaled :) We had with mashed potatoes and peas with sauteed mushrooms. My boys both asked when we were having these again, so I guess they hit the spot!

Good recipe! However, I did not have to wait 7-8 hours. It only took 4 hours on low in the crock pot. I guess it depends on on thick your pork chops are ( used 5 chops with bone in, just because I like the flavor of the bones). I did add a clove a garlic and deglazed it with red wine. Toward the end with I was adding the cornstarch mix, I had to add a little more salt (seasoning salt). Otherwise, it was really tasty:)

Firstly, LoriMama's picture of this dish is beautiful. We (DH & I) thought it was good. It wasn't outstanding. The only thing I did differently was to add garlic powder to the dish. It was a hectic day & it was nice to have a crock pot meal ready at the end of the day.

Wow, this was soooo good. I skipped the step with the cream and cornstarch as I didn't want to wait for it to thicken and it was still very, very good. Chops were ultra tender and the mushrooms and onions only made it better. A keeper.

Much enjoyed. I didn't however make this in a crock pot. I baked it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350. Turned out great. I knew I wasn't going to get the fall off the bone tenderness, but I liked the sauce that goes with this dish. Next time when I have all day, I'll make it in the suggested cooking vessel. :)

Yum! Great comfort food. I took the photo at step 11 because after smelling it all day I was in a hurry to get it to the table. I forgot to do the rest of the steps before the pic, lol. I did do the other steps, but we had already devoured it before I thought about photos again. LOL. Very nice dish and thanks Caroline Cooks for such a nice keeper. And thanks to gailanng for recommending it for Best of 2010 Tag.

This was a fabulous dish, although I did make a few changes. I didn't have pork chops, so used pork blade steaks instead & it still turned out great. I used more mushrooms, added a clove of garlic and used water instead of half and half to thicken. The prep for this dish is a little more than the average slow cooker recipe, but well worth it. I served with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I ended up wth lots of the gravy, so I'll use more meat next time. Will definitely make again!

mmm Caroline the sauce on these pork chops is outstanding! DH loved them with mashed potatoes. I used olive oil instead of the butter and 2% milk for the half and half; and a crisp white wine to deglaze the pan; also used fresh parsley from the garden. Served them with baby carrots. A wonderful meal that will be repeated many times. Thanks for sharing!

We really enjoyed these pork chops for dinner last night. They came out of the crock pot very tender ~ we didn't need knives! I made as posted except that I didn't add the optional ingredients. The sauce was wonderful without them. I served with baked potatoes and asparagus. Thank you so much for posting!!!
