Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Mushroom Sauce

- Servings: 6
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 3-3 1/2 hours
Ingredients
- 6 boneless pork chops, 3/4 –inch thick (about 6 ounces each)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon steak seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ cup sliced onion
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 (14.5-ounce_ can beef or chicken broth
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
Directions
1. Spray the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
2. Place the pork chops in a large zip-top plastic bag and add the flour, steak seasoning, and salt. Close the bag and shake to coat the pork chops completely.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 ½ teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the zip-top bag and brown in the skillet until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Reserve the bag o seasoned flour.
4. Transfer the pork chops to the slow cooker and arrange them in one layer over the bottom. In the same skillet, cook the onion over medium-high heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, until translucent. Add the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil and the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more, until the mushrooms begins to brown. Sprinkle the onion and the mushrooms with the reserved flour mixture and cook until the flour has been absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the broth and cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker over the pork chops, cover, and cook on Low for 3 to 3 ½ hours, depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
6. Server, garnished with fresh thyme.
