Flavorful Layers: Ingredients Prep Made Simple

For marvelous results, prepare your ingredients for maximum flavor absorption. Thinly slice onions and mushrooms for even cooking and a balanced sauce. Try using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to make quick work of prepping vegetables, ensuring uniform cuts that melt beautifully into the sauce.

Opt for thick, bone-in pork chops for ultimate juiciness; they hold up exceptionally well during hours of slow cooking.

Effortless Cooking: Preparing Your Slow Cooker

Spray your slow cooker insert lightly with oil. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer for even cooking. Layer with onions and mushrooms, then pour a simple mixture of condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and a bit of Dijon mustard over the top. A generous sprinkling of shredded Swiss cheese gives the signature Alpine twist.

To accurately gauge pork’s doneness and guarantee juicy, safe-to-eat results, use a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking. Your pork chops are perfect when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

Serving & Storage—Making Alpine Pork Chops Even Easier

Allow your chops to rest briefly before serving so the cream sauce thickens to the ideal consistency. To portion leftovers for easy lunches, transfer servings into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers and refrigerate for up to three days.

Accompany the pork chops with buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice. For those looking for a well-organized serving station, a Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 provides an elegant surface for slicing, plating, and serving sides.
