I am giving this a 4 because my husband loved it. I hated it and would have given it a 2, but to be fair I think it's because of the beer I used. As others suggested, I used Guinness, even though I don't like Guinness! The taste was just overwhelming for me. As others also suggested, I mixed the beer with one can of cream of mushroom soup, but to be honest all I could taste was Guinness! My husband loves Guinness and said this is some of the best pork I've made, so go figure! I did come out very tender and juicy - not at all dry. So I guess just use beer that you would actually drink and then you will probably like this!

My family liked the modified recipe - we used a can of Guinness and two cans of Campell's cream of mushrooms. Also used carrots instead of potatoes. We don't have a slow cooker, so I simmered it on the stove for the whole afternoon instead. It smelled fantastic and my parents asked for seconds.

Turned out really good, used all the suggestions from Alissa (below) and it did turn out to be a 4 star recipe. Thanks.

If you want a four star recipe out of this...the key is to take the advice of the other raters! I hope everyone that tries this recipe reads the ratings first! I changed this recipe to go as follows (based on the suggestions of the other raters--and then it should come out more like 4-5 stars!): Ingredients: 6 Boneless Pork Chops (Or really whatever you want to use...even chicken) 1 onion sliced 1-2 Cans Cream of Mushroom soup (depending on how saucy you want it-I used 1 can cream of mush., and 1 can cream of chick.) 1/2 Cup Beer (I prefer to use dark ale) S&P, Garlic Salt, Seasoning Salt to prefrence Season pork with above seasonings. Fry onions & pork in olive oil or butter in skillet until browned. Place in crock pot. In seperate bowl, mix together soups & beer, and pour into crock pot. (I added a dab of BBQ sauce). Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 2-4 hours. Good luck! This recipe, in my opinion, is worth trying if tweaked.

We didn't care for this recipe. I gave it one star because it did smell very good and the suggestion to make gravy with the cream of mushroom (I used chicken) made it better.

Great recipe, though be aware that the beer used can make or break the taste, good beer will result in a good taste and vice versa. If you are not a fan of beer try using hard apple cider (or regular cider). I've made this both ways and it's great!

A bottle of Guinness made this recipe a smash hit. I too added cream of mushroom soup and fresh garlic, seasoned salt, etc. I also added potatoes during the last hour of cooking. My husband absolutely loved, loved, loved this recipe. It was a huge hit and he was looking forward to leftovers of it. I cooked mine in about 4 hours on high and the pork was very moist and tender. Made the house smell so good and we could not detect any overt beer taste, just wonderful flavor.

Super easy and super yummy! My kids even ate the onions. You can speed up the recipe by doing the first two hours on high and then lower the slow cooker to low for about three more hours. Still comes out perfect!

This recipe was fantastic. I added some potatoes about two hours before the end of cooking. I took the broth and onions, poured them in a pan, and added a can of cream of mushroom soup with 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning and made a gravy. It was so good!

I tried this recipe and we loved it. I used four butterfly chops and didn't cut them in half. I layered the onion slices with the pork chops, used 3 cans of lite beer and 6 boullon cubes. It was delish on hawaiin roll buns. We will definately have this again.

The pork was indeed very, very tender. I like beer, but I'm not sure that I liked it in the pork. It was just ok to me. I probably won't make it again.
