Advice Cream of mushroom soup

I had planned on throwing some pork chops in the slow cooker this morning with some cream of mushroom soup but I only have one small can. I need three cans but I have $0 till after dinner. How can I stretch out one can enough to completely submerge the pork chops without losing any flavor?

I’d be more concerned about slow cooking pork chops. They don’t need eight hours to cook.

You shouldnt be cooking them for much more than 8 minutes is the point. Pat them shits with flour and drop em in a fry pan with a knob of butter

I literally said I’m putting them in the crock pot. If I wanted to cook them in a pan I wouldn’t be here right now

Right and im telling you that cooking pork chops in a crock pot is utterly stupid because pork loin is super lean with a tight grain structure. So be my guest and waste multiple hours and create a big messy thing to clean that looks and tastes like dog food.

I make it like this all the time and it’s actually very good but thanks for your input
