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!

First time making this tonight and My family immediately made me put it in our dinner rotation. Even my 13 year old daughter got seconds and I promise she never does that. I doubled the recipe and used 1 can of cream of chicken and 1 can of cream of mushroom (all I had) and only had 1 pkt or brown gravy so I used 1 pkt of au jus powder. It was amazing! Thanks for this recommendation!
Hi Nichole, this is my first time ever using one of your recipes and also commenting on one that I’ve tried from any website. I just wanted to let you know I really loved these porkchops and loved the gravy, especially over mashed potatoes. This will be the second time I’m making them in less then 4 weeks but I am now making them for my parents and great aunt along with my husband and kids since we are quarantined together. Hopefully they like it as much as I do! I think this is a great recipe especially since once you tried it, it’s easy to adjust to your family preferences. For example I love cream of chicken but it would absolutely work with cream of mushroom if that’s what you like. Just wanted to say thanks for the recipe and I will definitely be trying more of your recipes soon.
I have made this a couple times in the crock pot, and it was AMAZING! Any suggestions for cooking times in the Insta-pot?
Very easy meal. I am not a good cook, I avoid it as much as possible. I found this and decided to give it a try. I used the high setting and after 4 hours as stated they cut with a fork. The gravy was good. All in all a success. My modification was no ranch and I put in slivers of onion. Still very good. Thank you for the recipe, will be putting in the rotation.
I didn’t have the ranch, and we prefer cream of mushroom, but I followed the recipe otherwise. My whole family has asked that it be put into regular rotation, and that’s saying a lot! This is the first of your recipes I’ve tried, but maybe I’ll have a look around! Thanks so much!!!
I have made this 3 times I add a cut onion and mushrooms in it also and not power garlic I used minced garlic. Thank you we love it at my house
Should I be using the entire packet of ranch mix?
Can someone please tell me if I make the gravy and put that in the slow cooker at same time as the chops …
Thanks
Maggie
Yes. That way it cooks in the gravy and all of the flavors mix into one delicious dish.
This pork chop recipe is delicious!! After cooking they literally can be cut w a fork. I’ve made them 3x and I like to use bone in chops. They FALL OFF THE BONE!! Super big hit with my family. Very easy to prepare. I’ve doubled the recipe every time and the cook time does stay the same. A must try!!
This was simply the best !!
Thank You !
Has anyone tried this recipe and added mushrooms?
I fixed this tonight and it was great! It was a big hit. I added mushrooms and spinach. I served it over cauliflower rice. I will definitely make again!
So excited to try this recipe! thanks for sharing (:
Can I use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken
Yes
Put these chops in the crock pot this morning.. Came home from work and my house smells AMAZING.. I cannot wait for dinner!!!☺
i don’t know how i found your site but i’m so glad i did. i made the instant pot spaghetti and it turned out great. next up are the pork chops and ribs. If by chance you have anything for an air fryer please share.
Thank you
The instant pot spaghetti is one of our families go-tos! It’s the best and sooo simple. Excited to try the pork chops for tonight.. i did tweak a little by adding potatoes, carrots, and onion with an extra can of soup on top, so I’m crossing my fingers it’ll still turn out. Thanks for the easy meals!!
Can you add vegetables to the pot? Such as carrots, potatoes and onions? Thank you in advance!
I just made this tonight and it was awesome. I personally think adding veggies would definitely work with it if you doubled upon the gravy ingredients!
Should the pork chops be thawed before putting all these ingredients together in the Crock Pot??
Thawed or frozen work fine in this recipe 🙂
I have a larger family to cook for. If I doubled or tripled the recipe, what would the cook time be?
I’ve doubled this and the cook time stayed the same 🙂
Has anyone made this in the instant pot, successfully?
Nevermind, I just found the recipe for it https://thesaltymarshmallow.com/instant-pot-pork-chops-with-gravy/ by you 🙂 Sounds tasty! Thank you!
This is a great recipe for busy weeknights. My kids love it.
How can I get this recipe for serving size of 9 people? I have doubled recipes b4 and well it hasn’t always turned out right. Also the cook time hasn’t always worked for me either.
If you buy an oblong it will help….try to have everything room temperature so you get even cooking heat. I’d start out high for one hour then bank it down for the six, provided you have browned the in a little oil in a fry pan to seal the juices in.
