Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then season them with the paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
4 Thick cut pork chops, 1½ teaspoons Paprika, 1 teaspoon Black pepper, 1 teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Onion powder, ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the pork chops and brown them on each side, roughly 3-5 minutes per side.
Add in both canned soups and the chicken broth. Stir, making sure to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook five minutes and remove from the heat.
10.5 oz Cream of mushroom soup, 10.5 oz Cream of chicken soup, 1 cup Chicken broth
Slice the onions and mushrooms, then add them to the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with the pork chops and then pour the soup mixture over top.
2 cups Mushrooms, 1 Onion
Set the heat to LOW, and cook for 4-6 hours or until the meat is tender and juicy. Optional- add a slurry of 2 tablespoons corn starch and 2 tablespoons water to thicken the sauce.
Remove from the slow cooker, and serve with the gravy, onions, and mushrooms!

- If you're really strapped for time, you can skip the saute section of this recipe. However, the end result won't be quite as flavorful.

- Bone-in and boneless pork chops are both great options! Just avoid thinly sliced pork chops as they will overcook and get tough.

- This recipe uses condensed soups. If using non-condensed, lower the amount of chicken broth.

- Make sure not to over-sear the pork! Just get the sides browned; it'll cook the rest of the way in the slow cooker, and overcooking it in the pan can make it tough.
- Never set the slow cooker to HIGH. Pork gets tough and dry when cooked in high heat.
