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.
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!

Could this be frozen after it’s cooked and if so, would I freeze it before or after the cornstarch slurry? I’m trying to put a week’s worth of prepared/mostly prepared food for a small crowd in the freezer to make it less stressful when sale week comes!
I doubled this recipe this last night, adapted to my InstantPot (25 minutes on high, NPR) and 6 out of 6 of us voted it as a keeper recipe. It’s now saved as my future go-to pork chop recipe. Absolutely delicious.
I made this today I used 8 thinly sliced pork tenderloin and I used 1 brown gravy mix, 1onion gravy mix, 2 cream of mushroom soup. 2 cans of beef broth. I also used 2 envelopes of ranch dressing to rub over meat. This was delicious will be passing this recipe on and will be making adding it to my favorites. Thank you Nicole for sharing🤓
I didn’t have gravy mix or cream of chicken soup. I just used veggie broth. I browned them first in an instanta pot and them added the broth and switched over to the slow cooker mode for six hours. Removed chops. Added cornstarch/water slurry mixture to broth after cooking. Simmered until thickened. Add back pork chops and served.
I’m using cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken because that’s all I have…. I think it will taste just as good.
Made this tonight, and it is so delicious! Will definitely add this recipe to our dinner rotation. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😄
Trying this for the 1st time. Using thin cut bone in chops and doubled the recipe. Also browned the meat 1st and added the juices. Fingers crossed.
Made this tonight and it was a hit! Even got my picky 2 year old to finish ALL his food. Will definitely be making this again!
I have never liked pork chops because when I’ve tried them they’ve been dry and tough. This recipe was amazing! These were the best pork chops I’ve ever tried. They come out so moist and tender the gravy is delicious as well. I’m actually making them again tonight and doubling the recipe so hopefully we can have leftovers this time.
So good… every picky eater I have ate it. Will be making this again for sure.
This is phenomenal served over egg noodles.
Can you do this on the stove instead of crockpot or oven?
This looks delicious! Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just make sure your slow cooker is 6 quart or larger 🙂
Could I turn on high and half the time to cook?
You can cook them on high for 3-4, as listed in the directions. 🙂
Could I sub French onion mix for the brown gravy mix?
Sure I think that would be good! 🙂
Have made a similar recipe in the past, am trying this one today. Using 2lbs of pork chops, looking forward to having this tonight.
Do the pork chops need to be thawed before they go in to the crockpot? Is the cooking time the same if you start with frozen pork chops?
I typically use thawed, but frozen should work just as well. I’d say the cooking time will be the same.
I thought I won the lotto when I made this recipe. Fantastic comes to mind but even then it falls short. Super tasty and tender chops with a gravy fit for a king. This is truly a winner and if you want to impress your friends start with this one. The only problem is this your starting at the top and the it will be tough to beat. Thanks and I will pass on your web site to all.
How would you double this for a large family? Double everything? That seems like a lot of seasoning, I could be wrong though
You could double the recipe in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker, but, no I don’t think I’d double the seasoning.
