2. Coat the Chops:
   Lightly coat each beef chop in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Set aside.

   In the same skillet, add diced onions. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat.

   In your slow cooker, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
