- Place pork chops over the onions.
- Whisk together soup, chicken broth, onion soup mix, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour the mixture over the pork chops.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork reaches 145°F.

Notes
Searing is optional but adds extra flavor. For the most tender result, avoid overcooking and check the pork with a meat thermometer. Bone-in pork chops generally work well for slow cooking. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator
