Alpine Pork Chops in the Slow Cooker

Alpine Pork Chops made in a slow cooker combine tasty flavors with cheese, cooked until tender. Coming from the traditional cuisine of the European Alps, known for its rich and filling dishes, this recipe offers a warm and comforting meal for your dinner. It's great for when you're busy and want a tasty homemade meal without spending a lot of time cooking. The slow cooker does everything, keeping the pork chops juicy and tasty. The mix of Swiss cheese and creamy sauce adds a special and luxurious touch.

This meal goes great with mashed potatoes or noodles with butter to absorb the tasty sauce. Steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad go well with the tasty pork chops. If you want something more filling, roasted root vegetables or a cheesy potato casserole would also go well with the flavors.

Servings

Serves 4 people

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Warm the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook them on each side until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
2. In the slow cooker, mix together the mushroom soup, chicken broth, Swiss cheese, onion, garlic, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.
3. Place the browned pork chops into the slow cooker, ensuring they are covered by the sauce.
4. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked.
5. Before serving, stir the sauce well and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Tips and Variations

• For a new taste, use Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss cheese. Gruyère has a richer, nuttier flavor.
• If you like some spice, sprinkle a little bit of red pepper flakes into the sauce.
• To prepare this meal without gluten, use a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.
• You can also add more vegetables like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers to increase the nutrition and enhance the taste.
