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!

Best pork chops I ever tasted!
I see the nutrition facts above but do you happen to know the serving size? Thanks can’t wait to try.
My husband loves this recipe, anything with gravy makes him happy. I love it too, easy to make with simple ingredients. So glad I found it.
Can you cook your potatoes in with the pork chops and pull them out to mash them?
I have made these so many times since I found this recipe. So so delicious.
Great recipe! The pork came out so tender and flavorful. Will definitely be making again, thanks!
SO GOOD! made this today with frozen thin boneless chops. used cream of asparagus soup instead and added more black pepper, a diced sweet onion, 1 tsp ground sage, 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice, and abt. 5 dashes each of red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce (a little acid to cut through all the creamy). I was home today so I cooked it in a large pot on stove. Made baby potatoes and smashed them up to go with. Delicious. Will definitely be making again.
Giiiirl, you are definately an experimenting chef! Interesting mix of cream of asparagus and sage. Only question I have for you is were your chops dry at all? Since you used thin cut chops, it seems like you'd need to cook in less time. Sounds like something I may try, although this original recipe,as written, is incredible!
Best recipe for tender delicious pork chops in a crock pot. Super easy and the family loves them served over mashed potatoes. Only thing I add is a can of sliced mushrooms to the gravy. Thank you!
This recipe has become a go to for our family. Although we have switched up the protein, and make a version with stew beef in place of the pork chops and another that we use turkey cutlets and turkey gravy packets instead.
Great ideas, thanks!
Made this for my mother in law and family and they loved it. So easy and delicious!!
I used to have a recipe that was the ONLY way my husband would eat chops, sadly when I got a new laptop my recipe was gone. I have searched hi & lo and I found yours that was similar. I substituted what I thought I remembered from my old one. My husband said "This FAR better than what I remember, you need to enter a pork chop contest" Not a chance LOL
What I changed was using Cream of Asparagus soup, chicken broth and used the package of Pioneer County sausage flavor gravy.
I don't believe the ranch seasoning was part of old recipe but it sure worked in my cobbling of 2 recipes.
I know Cream of Asparagus soup sounds weird but it has always worked in our opinion with pork chops (I think because we always have seared Asparagus, mashed potatoes and of course applesauce as our sides. I think the soup and fresh Asparagus pulls the whole meal together using it 2 ways.
Thank you so much
I used the cream of asparagus too. I totally get it. Mine came out great.
I have passed this resume around to many, it’s darn amazing! Thank you so much. It’s a staple in our home.
It 9s great for what it is, a tasty easy dinner. Rice and a green vegetable and all is done. If you want to get fancy, you can. The options are there. Thank you for posting this.
One of my families favorites. Very flavorful.
