Smothered Crock-pot Pork Chops

• 4 pork chops (bone in is best, see notes below)
• salt & pepper to taste
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• ¾ cup beef broth (I prefer low sodium)

1. Preheat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Brown pork on each side (about 3 minutes each side). Remove pork, add broth and soup to pan and whisk to release any brown bits in the pan.
2. Lay onion & mushrooms in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with pork and pour the soup mixture overtop.
3. Cook on low 7-8 hours or until pork is tender. Serve over rice.
