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!

Wow! Such a great slow cooker pork chop recipe!
The Gravy looks really good! I love this slow cooker pork recipe!
Bring on the slow cooker meals! I love this!
Made this today—-delucious!! Will be making again and again!
This is such an easy dinner for the family! Looks so delicious!
I have rarely found a recipe on Pinterest worth making twice. HOWEVER, this one is truly outstanding! The chops were tender and the gravy was delicious. It is a keeper! Make it soon – your family will love it!
Thank you, Debbie! 🙂
This pork chop recipe is delicious! Love how easy it is to prepare and fix in the slow cooker. Came home from work and invited 2 friends to try them out with me. The port chops were so tender and gravy amazing. A BIG success. Will be making this recipe often and add it to my favorites!
Is it possible to double the recipe?
Everyone really liked this, but agreed that it was too salty. I’m going to make it again, but make sure that I use low-sodium beef broth and low-sodium cream of chicken soup next time!
One of my favorite by far! Any recommendations to make it so salty? Ididnt add any salt to it at all, but it still tasted really salty!
Do you brown the meat first or put in the Crock-Pot straight from the package ?
No need to brown the meat first 🙂
Making this right now and if tastes as good as it smells,its going to be FANTASTIC! I will surely let you know!
It was FANTASTIC. The pork just melted in our mouths and the gravy was so good.DEFINITELY WILL BE MAKING AGAIN! Thank you!
Going to make this today. Can I use 5 quart slow cooker? And am adding mushrooms, can I add those in beginning or later? Can’t wait to try it😍
Hi! Sorry for the late response, Debbie! Yes, you can use a 5-quart slow cooker and add the mushrooms at the beginning. 🙂
I think if the mushrooms are fresh, add them halfway through cooking. If they are canned I couldn’t see why you couldn’t add them in the beginning. That’s my opinion though, I’m far from being a professional cook, LOL. Enjoy, these are FANTASTIC and yes you could use your 5 quart cooker. The chops will actually melt in your mouth. My family is already begging me to make them again. Have a GREAT DINNER!
SO GOOD. I was a little doubtful because many crockpot recipes that have promised to be delicious ended up boring. But these are perfectly seasoned and yummy. Mine got a little chewy, so I think I’ll use a thicker cut chop next time. Also had lots of liquid (condensation runoff) so I upped the cornstarch to 3:3 and it worked well. Will make again!
Can you stack the 1inch pork chops? I have as large oval crock pot but the chops were so large I had to stack them. Fingers crossed it turns out well for dinner.
Should be just fine! 🙂
The recipe calls for only 1 pound of pork chops. Am I reading that wrong? Pork chops in the video looked like a lot more than a pound…
Newly divorced single dad of 3 small, picky eaters, and they loved this. Thank you, I really needed a cooking win!
Can this be made in a dutch oven?
Very good! Definitely will make again thanks!
Looks delicious! I’m not a huge fan of cream of chicken soup, could I sub cream of mushroom for the gravy? I’ve made a variation of this recipe with cream of mushroom but didn’t know how it would be in this one.
Thank you
Yes, cream of mushroom would be just fine 🙂
Is this 1.5 cups of broth or one 1/2 cup of broth? Do I need 1.5 cups or 0.5 cups? I’m confused.
If I don’t have beef broth at the time, can chicken broth be used? Would that make a big difference?
Should be just fine, I don’t think it would make a huge difference in flavor 🙂
Is it ok to use frozen pork chops? I would love to make this for tonight but don’t have anything thawed😭
I don’t have ranch mix but I have onion soup mix. Have you ever made them with that?
Omg… this was unbelievably good. I feel like i just got on grandmas level
Could this be used as a freezer meal? It is one of my favorites! Getting ready to have a baby in the next couple weeks so trying to make lots of freezer meals! 🙂
Hi! I personally haven’t tried freezing it so I can’t say for sure but I do think it would freeze just fine 🙂
Plan on making this over the wekend. I ran out of brown gravy mix. Can I use pork gravy mix instead and use chicken broth?
Yes! 🙂
Made these tonight and they are so delicious they just fall apart and the gravy is so good
Great Recipe!! Will definitely make again.
Accidentally ordered 16 lbs of pork chops on a shopping app and came across this recipe while I was panicking about what to do with all that pork. It was so good I will probably make it for the rest of my pork chop abundance. 🙂 I used the Better than Bullion Beef flavor for the broth and Campbell’s Cream of Chicken with Herbs and it turned out amazing! Rave reviews from my family. Thank you for sharing this!
This was AMAZING and so easy! Will definitely make it again soon.
Fantastic recipe! Thanks for sharing!!
I do not have cornstarch, can I thicken it with flour?
Has anyone ever added potatoes to the crock pot with this recipe? Do I need to add more liquid?
I’m making this today but I don’t have Cream of chicken soup can I use cream of mushroom ?
Yes! 🙂
Is this recipe calling for 1 1/2 cups or a 1/2 cup of broth?
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.
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.
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.
Have made a similar recipe in the past, am trying this one today. Using 2lbs of pork chops, looking forward to having this tonight.
Could I sub French onion mix for the brown gravy mix?
Sure I think that would be good! 🙂
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. 🙂
This looks delicious! Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just make sure your slow cooker is 6 quart or larger 🙂
Can you do this on the stove instead of crockpot or oven?
