Ingredients You’ll Need

(6-quart slow cooker)
  1. 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  2. ½ cup packed brown sugar
  3. 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
  4. ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or water
💡 Pro Tips:
  • Pat pork chops dry before adding to help the sugar adhere.
  • Press brown sugar firmly onto both sides of each chop—it creates a caramelized crust as it melts.
  • Do not stir after layering—this keeps the glaze intact.
