SLOW COOKER 3-INGREDIENT MUSTARD PORK CHOPS

 




Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Layer the Base

Place your pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker. If they overlap slightly, that’s fine, but try to give them as much surface contact with the bottom as possible.

2. Mix and Whisk

In a small bowl, whisk together the can of cream soup and the Dijon mustard until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the pork chops, making sure they are completely smothered.

3. Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours (or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours).

  • Chef's Tip: Pork can dry out if overcooked, even in a slow cooker. Start checking them around the 4-hour mark on Low. They should register 145F (63C) on a meat thermometer and give easily to a fork.

4. Rest and Serve

Remove the chops carefully (they might try to fall apart on you!) and let them rest for 5 minutes. Give the mustard sauce left in the slow cooker a good stir to incorporate all the savory pork juices. Spoon the sauce generously over the chops before serving.

Customization Matrix (If You Want to Make it 4 Ingredients)

If you have a well-stocked pantry and want to elevate this dish even further, try adding just one of these variations:

The Extra IngredientWhat it Adds
1 Sliced Yellow OnionLay these at the bottom of the cooker first for a sweet, caramelized depth.
2 tbsp HoneySwirled into the mustard/soup mix for a perfect sweet-and-tangy balance.
Fresh Rosemary or ThymeA few sprigs tossed on top adds a rustic, earthy aroma.
A splash of White WineUsed to deglaze the slow cooker liner, adding bright acidity.

What to Serve Alongside

Because this recipe generates a glorious, built-in mustard gravy, you’ll want sides that act as a sponge to soak it all up:

  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes: The absolute gold standard pairing.

  • Egg Noodles: Tossed in a little butter and parsley.

  • Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Broccoli: The char from roasted green veggies cuts through the richness of the mustard sauce beautifully
