With modification this recipe is amazing! I read reviews and did the following....
Seared my chops over high heat on both sides.
Lightly browned about 2 1/2 cups of baby bella mushrooms.
Layered onion rings in the bottom of crockpot.
Covered in a layer of crushed garlic (3)
Placed chops on top.
Poured mushrooms over chops
Poured a mixture over chops of:
1 bottle of negro modelo beer, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, lots of garlic powder, 2 pinches dried basil, 2 pinches dried oregano, 1 pinch paprika, few shakes of lawry's seasoning salt, fresh ground pepper, and 2 drops tabasco.
I let it cook for 5 hours total. The first 45 minutes I did it on high, then put it on low. 1 hour before serving I thickened the sauce by adding cornstarch... then put on high until boiling. Once it started boiling I let it boil for 5 minutes or so, then put it back on low with the cover cracked until time to serve.
I do not eat meat, and I am allergic to mushrooms so I did not get to try this, but my fiance and his buddy LOVED it, ate every bite. I only wish I would've had time today to make mashed potatoes... I will for sure make them next time.
Both boys said the beer flavor was not strong at all. I think it was the beer I used. If you want the beer flavor mellow then use a mellow beer, if you want it strong, use an IPA.... the more hoppy the beer, the stronger the beer flavor. I think the negro modelo was perfect.
