Ingredients

Why this recipe works

Slow cooking is ideal for boneless pork chops because the gentle, moist heat breaks down the meat's fibers without drying it out.

The condensed soup acts as a built-in sauce, keeping the chops bathed in liquid as they cook. This method ensures the pork stays tender and juicy, even if you leave it for a few hours.

Pepper jack cheese melts into the soup to create a creamy, slightly spicy sauce that clings to the meat. The red peppers soften and release their natural sweetness, balancing the richness.

Everything happens in one pot, so cleanup is minimal, and the flavors meld together beautifully over the cooking time.

Notes and substitutions

Choose boneless pork chops of even thickness so they cook uniformly. The condensed cream of chicken soup is essential for the sauce's body; do not substitute with a watery broth. Pepper jack cheese adds a mild heat and creamy texture; feel free to adjust the amount to taste.

Use a slow cooker that is at least 4 quarts to ensure the chops fit in a single layer. If the chops are very thick, you may need to add a few extra minutes of cooking time. Always check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer to guarantee doneness.
