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!

Fantastic!!! The whole family( including picky teens) loved it! I thickened the gravy and served over mashed potatoes. This is definitive my new go to!
Made this for dinner tonight and my husband and teen and tween sons had 2 servings. Used boneless pork chops, less than 1” thick and cooked for 6 hours on low. I used 8 chops with the same amount of liquid called for and it worked great. It was nice and tender, and I might cook a slightly thicker cut for a bit longer. I followed the recipe as written, with the exception of using a chicken gravy packet instead of brown gravy. Served with rice and French green beans. So easy! I will make it again.
Excellent! My husband absolutely loved it.
Followed the recipe exactly
So easy. I used 1 inch bone-in chops. So moist. Didn't even need a knife.
Will definitely be making this again.

So easy. I used 1 inch none in chops. So moist. Didn't even need a knife.
Will definitely be making this again.
As we try new recipes, I see how well everyone eats it and will ask if it's something to make again. Well, this one.... I didn't have to ask. My family let me know that it was delicious and to put it on the "again list". I have it in the crockpot now 🙂
This turned out great! Everyone loved it including picky kids!
The best I’ve ever had!! So easy and delicious. Please just follow the recipe as written and don’t make any “adjustments” .
Can you make the night before?
These pork-chops are amazing! I tenderize the pork-chops too so that even if they're well done they're falling off the bone. I have also run out of cornstarch and subbed in flour, whisked in crockpot, and voilà--gravy done! I'm telling you this recipe would make my husband propose all over again--it's that good!
Excellent! Made it just as the recipe outlines and it turned out great. My husband loved it. Definitely will be making this again!
This is a great dish. I had a little over 3 pounds of pork chops so I doubled everything else and also added 10pz sliced white mushrooms. About 6 hours on low….added cubed potatoes last hour. Gravy is delish.
Made these in 4 hours. I didn't have beef broth so I used chicken broth. Fall apart tender, and my husband raved about how delicious this dish is!
Nichole, might be an odd question, can the pork chops be frozen when you add them to the crock pot? If I need to thaw should I thaw in the refrigerator or if I can thaw in microwave would you suggest how long? I’m not a saavy cook, thank you in advance for helping.
I made these to the recipe and wow were they great. My whole family loved them. I think it's a new family favorite. I think you could easily use chicken with this recipe as well. Thanks for the wonderful meal idea.
The best! didn't have beef broth but used chicken broth. Probably made no difference, otherwise followed exactly. Browned bone in pork chops in a pan then threw everything in slow cooker. set on high 4hrs. Fall off the bone and didn't even need to add cornstarch or water. Served over egg noodles. Thank you!!
Hi, Making tomorrow & I also want to brown first. How did you handle the ranch dressing? Thanks
So easy to make and taste good. Will def be a reg in my rotation
I don't have brown gravy mix but I have chicken gravy mix. Would you recommend making any other changes when using this?
Thank you!
