FAQ
Can I use boneless pork chops?
Yes, but reduce simmering time to prevent overcooking.
Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Sear pork chops first, then cook in the slow cooker with onions, garlic, paprika, and broth for 4–5 hours on low.
What to serve with smothered pork chops?
Mashed potatoes, rice, or buttery corn make perfect sides to soak up the gravy.
