  3. Step 2: Build the Cream Sauce

  7. Step 3: Sear the Pork Chops
  8. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.

  12. In the same skillet, cook the mushrooms and onion until lightly softened and golden.
  13. Spread the mixture over the pork chops.
  14. Step 5: Add the Sauce
  15. Pour the creamy garlic sauce evenly over everything in the slow cooker.

  18. Low: 6–8 hours
  19. High: 3–4 hours
  20. The pork should be tender and the potatoes fork-soft.
