Sharing this before I forget it, since I created this off the cuff. Required: >4 quart slow cooker >6-8 bone-in pork chops >One small can of chicken broth >One small can or jar of premade pork gravy >One packet of onion soup mix >2 ripe pears >Spices >A tiny bit of toasted flour or corn starch In the bottom of the slow cooker add the gravy, the onion soup mix, and 3/4 of the chicken broth. Add 1/4 cup of hot water, a dash of salt and pepper and then whisk it until its all well blended. Pour the remaining broth into the gravy can and swirl it around to get it all dissolved, then set it aside. Layer the pork chops into the slow cooker, arranging them to leave slight gaps around and between them. After each layer of chops, drizzle a little bit of the brother/gravy mix that you set aside over them. When you get to the last layer, slice and coarsely chop the 2 pears, and sprinkle the choppings on and around the pork chops. Drizzle them with the broth mix and then add a light topping of of salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Place the last layer of chops, drizzle the last of the broth mix, and then a tiny bit more garlic powder and thyme. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours. When finished, remove the finished pork chops with tongs and skim some of the fat from the liquid. Taste the liquid and see if it needs any additional spices. If not, add 1-2 teaspoons of toasted flour or corn starch and then whisk the liquid vigorously to thicken it into the finished gravy.
