Slow cooker pork chops.  So easy even I could do it.

For each 1 1/2 lbs of boneless pork chops, get 8 oz of softened cream cheese, can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 tsp garlic powder.  Mix them together, pour into slow cooker, top with pork chops, and salt and pepper the top.

Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

I served them up over rice and some vegetables (peas.)  Kids seemed to like it, as did Scoobie.  Took some leftovers to work with me for lunch tonight.

Sparky, you know the saying, it is better to be with a poor mate that can cook then a wealthy one that cannot.

So as I am both poor and cannot cook, alas I am in big trouble.

Your recipe looked good to me, I went into the deep freezer but could only find big meaty spar ribs, bone in. 

What the heck I got them out and defrosted them in the Mic and put them in the crock pot on high for an hour.  This will give the cheese a chance to soften.  I have on hand one can of cream of mushroom soup, one jar of hot peppadew peppers, big bag of rice for a side dish and will add the peas to the rice as it cooks.  Garlic will have to come out of a jar as I am out of garlic powder. The 8 hours of slow cooking should be enough.

In the past I have used spair ribs as a substitute for pork chops, and even cooked them up with beans.    Say baked beans in the oven.  When the ribs go on sale I grab them up before  buying chops that can be twice as expensive.

One year I bought ribs stuffed them with chicken stuffing mix rolled them up and secured them with Butchers twine.   Gave them a slow cook in the oven, took them out and cooled for a few hours.   We took them to a BBQ and tossed a couple bundles on the fire and added BBQ sauce at the last few minutes, removed them when they began to char.    Only time In my life I saw people enjoying my cooking.

So now I wait to see how this will turn out with just the few ingredients you suggest.   What the hell Sparkey if this turns out bad,  there are 12 Berger shops within a 3 mile drive from my home.

Making potato cheese soup. Will have with some romaine with 'shrooms and grape tomatoes. Still thinking about a dessert. Friend from work is coming over for some before we go into work tonight....
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Sparkeys sauce turned our finger licken Good.   Who would have known adding cream cheese to mushroom soup would have such an impact. 

I did take one step or two, the soup and cheese with the Peppadew peppers [just 2 ] plus a couple Tbs.. of Jared garlic and one pat of butter---------These I simmered before I threw them over the ribs was Sinfully delicious.. Turned cooker down to low and cooked for 4 hours.

Now I am wondering if this sauce can become a chicken pot pie, or add a dollop of Sherry and lemon juice and turn into a lobster pie

Pot roast will never be the same, My Husband will honor you Sparky as he LOVED the meal.    Yup a decent meal as I kept all my clothes on.

I still have some leftovers...sorry I missed ya yesterday.  I'm having my garlic soy pork chops tonight.  Real easy to make and everyone loves them.  

Bread the chops in some flour, toss them in pan with melted butter, brown on both sides, sprinkle garlic powder and pepper on the chops, flip and do the same on the other side and then trickle some soy sauce around the outer edge of the pan and in between the chops.  Turn off the heat and let them sit for a few minutes until all of the flavor is absorbed.  I serve those with a tossed green salad and seasoned new potatoes.  If it says "light"...it will never enter my kitchen.  I cook with flavor.. :cheersmate:

Soy sauce is awfully salty, so I'd imagine you scale back a little on the NaCl.....

I do use the low salt soy though...  When I make these chops, I add just enough soy for flavor. The trick is to not overdo the soy.  The soft outer crust of the chop flavored with the garlic, soy, pepper and butter is really what makes the chops just melt in your mouth.  Enjoy.
