Hearty slow-cooked pork chops with creamy mushroom soup, rice, and cheddar cheese for a comforting dinner.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pork

01 - 4 boneless pork chops

→ Liquids

02 - 2 cups chicken broth
03 - 1 cup water
04 - 1 cup water (additional, for rice)

→ Condiments and Seasonings

05 - 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 teaspoon black pepper

→ Dairy

10 - 1 stick butter, cubed (approx. 8 tablespoons)
11 - 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

→ Grains

12 - 2 cups Minute Rice

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ease cleanup.
02 - Place the boneless pork chops evenly in the slow cooker.
03 - Spoon the cream of mushroom soup over the pork chops. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried onion flakes, salt, and black pepper on top. Pour the chicken broth and 1 cup of water evenly over all ingredients. Scatter the cubed butter over the mixture.
04 - Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for seven hours to achieve tender, shreddable pork.
05 - After cooking, remove the lid and shred the pork chops inside the slow cooker using two forks.
06 - Add the Minute Rice and one more cup of water. Stir gently to ensure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid. Replace the lid.
07 - Increase the slow cooker to high heat and cook for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the rice is tender. If the rice appears dry, add ¼ cup of water and cook an additional 15 minutes.
08 - Remove the lid, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Check pork doneness with a digital thermometer; safe internal temperature is 145°F placed in the thickest part of the chop.
02 - Using slow cooker non-stick spray helps reduce cleanup time.
03 - Leftovers can be refrigerated in airtight containers and reheated for future meals.
