Ingredients To Make This Pork Chop Recipe

Having a well stocked pantry is key to making easy dinner recipes like this one. We always try to have a few staples on hand so that we don’t have to constantly run out to the store.

  • Boneless Pork Chops: Because these pork chops are simmered in a crock pot with a juicy brown gravy, these pork chops aren’t going to be dry in any way. They’ll turn out so tender you can cut them with a fork!
  • Onion Soup Mix: Dry soup mix is one of our pantry staples, we use it in everything from meatloaf recipes to appetizer recipes like these Cheeseburger Meatballs.
  • Beef Broth: Find the best tasting beef broth at the store to give this gravy the most flavor. A bone broth or a beef stock would add the most flavor, broths do tend to be weaker but there are a few store brands that are really tasty.
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup: Another pantry staple, we always have condensed soups on hand for making casseroles or side dish recipes!
  • Powdered Beef Gravy: These little packets are sold in he spice aisle or sometimes in the salad dressing aisle. We buy ours in large containers because we use this ingredient in many different recipes.
