Prep the pork chops: Season with black pepper and paprika. For extra flavor, sear them in olive oil over medium-high heat until lightly browned. (This step is optional but recommended.)
Layer in the slow cooker: Place sliced onions and garlic on the bottom, then arrange the pork chops on top.
Make the gravy: In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour over the pork chops.
Cook low & slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until pork chops are fork-tender.
Serve & enjoy: Spoon the creamy gravy over the pork chops and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
