Slow Cooker Pork Chops are incredibly easy to make and smothered in a creamy, mouthwatering gravy! You can make pork chops right in your crock pot and have a hearty, comforting, and budget friendly dinner the whole family will love!
Well, it has been a minute or two since I posted a good old fashioned slow cooker recipe. Super tender slow cooker pork chops smothered in gravy is something I grew up on, and something I still can't get enough of even today.
Did you grow up eating pork chops on the regular? Or was your family all about chicken?
My mom always mixed it up with a little of both. I still appreciate that we never really ate the same things over and over, and hopefully, my kids feel the same way now!
Crock Pot Pork Chops is one of the most requested dinners from everyone in my house. I'm happy to oblige because it doesn't get much easier than this meal.
Plus, it's just a really great comfort food style dinner. Incredibly satisfying on these cold winter evenings.....and by that, I mean we have a heap of snow on the ground and I'm completely over it!
While I do love a good pork chop, I think the gravy is really the shining star here. I could easily eat this creamy gravy with a spoon. It's just even better that it gets coated over some of the most tender pork chops you will ever eat. If you love pork chops in the crockpot like we do, be sure to try these Slow Cooker Pork Chops with vegetables too, it's an amazing full meal! These Baked Pork Chops are amazing too!
We really enjoy this dish with my homemade Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes and a big green salad on the side.
How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops:
One of the questions I get asked most frequently is simply how to make pork chops in a crock pot. I think people love pork chops, but aren't always sure exactly how to cook them so that they stay nice and juicy.
For the very best result, the slow cooker is the only way to go in my opinion!
-
You will want to season your pork chops really well. For my recipe, we use ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and pepper. I don't add any extra salt, it isn't necessary. I'd recommend making as directed without extra salt, then let people salt this dish at the table if that is their preference.

This Slow Cooker Pork Chop recipe calls for very minimal ingredients that combine for a truly delicious result. I always have everything like cream of chicken soup, brown gravy mix, ranch seasonings, and beef broth (you can also use chicken broth) on hand. So, this is really a nice "pantry staple" recipe.
-
Thickening the gravy is optional, but, I do recommend it! After your pork chops are finished, you can simply remove them from the slow cooker very carefully. Then, stir together two tablespoons of cornstarch with two tablespoons of water and add it right to the gravy. Turn the crock pot back on high and you should have a nice thick gravy in just about 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy!

Can I use Cream of Mushroom instead of Cream of Chicken?
Yes 🙂
Can you use frozen pork chops?
I just tried this with frozen pork chops for the full 4 hours on low and they came out great.
Great recipe...just discovered this site and will be back!!
Delicious! We used boneless chops that were on the small, thin side. Cooked on low and came out super tasty.
Will this work for thin bone in chops?
Yes
My husband absolutely loves this recipe and it's a great weeknight dish
Best pork chops and gravy I’ve ever had! I’m passing the recipe along by posting your link on my Facebook page, along with a picture of my version.
I only have Ranch dressing in a bottle. Would that work instead of the envelope of dry ranch dressing?
I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. It was so quick and easy to prepare! I put it in on my lunch hour. The gravy was easy to make as the side dishes were cooking. I will be making it again!!! Thank you for a great recipe!
How do I adjust time if I’m doubling the recipe? I’ve made this before and it was great but it left my boys wanting more!! I decided to double today.
Hi! 6-8 hours on low is still fine 🙂
