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.
Five ingredients. One slow cooker. Pure farmhouse magic.
