Sprinkle onion soup mix over pork chops, joined by 3 ingredients, into slow cooker for a savory feast that I crave this week after week

This slow cooker 5-ingredient Amish onion pork noodles recipe is the sort of simple, stick-to-your-ribs supper that has fed farm families around here for generations. It starts just the way my mother did it on busy chore days: raw pork chops laid right in the crock, then a shower of dry onion soup mix over the top, joined by just three more pantry ingredients. By the time evening rolls around, those chops are fall-apart tender, bathed in a savory onion gravy that soaks right into the egg noodles. It’s the kind of no-fuss, comforting dish I find myself craving week after week, especially when the weather turns chilly and I want something that tastes like home.

I like to spoon these oniony pork noodles into wide, shallow bowls and serve them with something green for balance—steamed green beans, buttered peas, or a simple tossed salad. A side of crusty bread or warm dinner rolls is lovely for mopping up the extra gravy. If you’re feeding hearty appetites, add a pan of roasted carrots or a crock of applesauce on the table; both play nicely with the savory onion flavor. A glass of cold milk or iced tea is all you need to round out this farmhouse-style meal.

Servings: 4

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds total)

Lay the raw pork chops in a single layer on the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.

Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the tops of the pork chops, letting it fall down around the sides as well.
