Instructions
Evenly season the pork chops, front and back, with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer in a crock pot.
Heat oil in a large 12" skillet over MEDIUM. Add chopped mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté stirring occasionally until mushrooms begin to soften about 2-3 minutes.
Add the spices: salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, dried mustard, and bay leaf. Sauté until fragrant about 30 seconds.
Make the slurry: Mix the water, broth, and milk in a small measuring pitcher or bowl. Add arrowroot powder using a fork to whisk until fully combined.
Pour slurry into the sautéed mushrooms. Reduce heat to MEDIUM-LOW. Stir continuously until very thick about 3-5 minutes.
Evenly pour mushroom gravy over top of the pork chops.
Cook 2 hours until pork is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 145℉. Enjoy!
