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!

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!
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!
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. 🙂
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!
Do you brown the meat first or put in the Crock-Pot straight from the package ?
No need to brown the meat first 🙂
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!
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!
Is it possible to double the recipe?
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!
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! 🙂
