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!

How will the recipe work if I use au jus gravy vs brown gravy?
Au jus gravy will work just as well 🙂
Delicious and easy! I tried this recipe today and it turned out great. Tender and tasty chops, falling off the bone, and the gravy was yummy.
I really have never had a pork chop dish i enjoyed very much. This dish was fabulous and i will definitely be making it again. My wife does not eat pork. Can i substitute turkey breast for the pork chop?
I have substituted every meat in to this recipe, chicken, turkey, tofu, even Beef this recipe works great with any flavor, I just change the meat and the broth to match the meat. It’s great!
Easy and tasty! Thank you!
Can I use chicken broth instead of beef broth?
Yes
Easy recipe to start during your lunch hour. So excited to come home to a cooked meal.
I’m making this now and hope it’s tasty. I’m going to put mine over egg noodles and steam some broccoli. Thanks for sharing!
My pork chops are cooking right now and smell delicious. My problem is that my plans have changed for tonight and I won’t be able to serve them until Friday. Should I keep them in the refrigerator or freeze them? Which do you recommend and how should I reheat them?
Hi! You really don’t need to freeze them. I’d just keep in the fridge until Friday. Since they will already be cooked, I would just pour the mixture into a large skillet and warm over low heat just until everything is warmed through. 🙂
Luv it!!!! In fact, they are cooking in the crock now!!! I was wondering, can this recipe be doubled? One pound of pork chops will not cut it when my military son comes home to visit.
I double and triple the recipe all the time! It turns out just as amazing!
Absolutely scrumptious. I had 1″ pork chops and was concerned they’d come out chewy.
They were tender and fell apart. Will make again.
