Crock Pot Pork Chops (with gravy)

This easy recipe for Crock Pot Pork Chops is so delicious! The pork chops come out so tender. Serve gravy over mashed potatoes!

THE MOST TENDER PORK CHOPS EVER!

This crock pot pork chops are perfect for busy weeknights and requires very little prep time. We are huge pork chop lovers in my family so I am always looking for different ways to make them. This recipe is an all time favorite! I especially love the gravy. You can whip up some mashed potatoes (from scratch or from a box or the microwave – I’m not judging!) to serve with these and you have a whole meal!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I use boneless pork chops?

I like the bone-in pork chops for this recipe. I find that it really gives this dish a lot of flavor but if you prefer boneless you can certainly do that. But I definitely do not recommend a thin cut pork chop. Just be careful when taking them out when they are finished cooking. The meat will be very tender so I like to scoop them out with a spatula.

What can I serve with pork chops?

My absolute favorite side dish with this is mashed potatoes. Rice or egg noodles are also good. I also like to serve it with some steamed vegetables. (like broccoli or carrots) and maybe some Butter Swim Biscuits!

Can I cook this high?

I don’t recommend cooking on high. The meat will not come out as tender. Cooking it low and slow will ensure fall-apart tender pork chops.

Can I use a different cream soup?

You can pretty much us any cream soup your family enjoys. Cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cream of onion, cream of mushroom and chicken will all work here.

Should I salt and pepper the pork chops?

You could definitely season with pepper but I don’t recommend salt as there is enough salt in the other ingredients.

Can I use fat-free or low sodium options?

Where applicable, you could certainly substitute with those options. I prefer low sodium options here because we’re also using packets of pork gravy and onion soup mix which also have sodium in them.

Do I need to thicken the gravy?

It’s totally optional but I really think the gravy works better when thickened.

Can I use a round crock pot instead of oval?

I find this recipe works better in an oval slow cooker instead of a round one. The chops cook more evenly. 

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container and put into the refrigerator. Eat within two days. I don’t recommend freezing leftovers.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

  • bone-in pork chops – I really think bone-in is the way to go. They are sometimes the cheaper cut but that bone adds flavor and keeps them from drying out.
  • garlic powder – I only use garlic powder and sometimes a bit of pepper. You do not need to add any salt as the other ingredients already have salt added to them. Be careful if you decide to use a seasoning blend as most will have salt added to them as well.
  • onion soup mix – if you aren’t a fan of the onion soup mix, you can leave it out and just season with a bit of onion powder.
  • chicken broth – I highly recommend low or no sodium options. The other mixes have plenty of salt in them. You can always add salt in but you can’t take it out.
  • cream of chicken soup – again, if you have any sensitivity to salt or are worried this will be to salty for your taste buds, get a low or no sodium cream of chicken soup.
  • dry pork gravy mix – I think this is a stand out ingredient compared to most crock pot pork chop recipes. It amps up the pork flavor since the other ingredients we are using have more of a chicken flavor.
  • corn starch and water – this is just to thicken the gravy. If you don’t want your gravy thickened, then skip this step.

Notes

  • This is one of those fix-it and forget it type crock pot recipes. It helps to have a digital crock pot these days. You can cook it for a certain amount of time so and then it will automatically go to a keep-warm setting.
  • I like the bone-in pork chops for this recipe. I find that it really gives this dish a lot of flavor but if you prefer boneless you can certainly do that. But I definitely do not recommend a thin cut pork chop. Just be careful when taking them out when they are finished cooking. The meat will be very tender so I like to scoop them out with a spatula.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, a salad, steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables.

  1. Any advice on how to adapt this recipe to an instant pot? My schedule today just doesn’t work for the crockpot, lol.

  2. 5 stars
    I LOVED these pork chops, I cooked them for 4 hours, and I used 6 pork chops instead of 4, I used 2 cans of cream of chicken, 1 and 3/4 cup of chicken broth, 1 package of onion soup mix and 1 package of less sodium pork gravy mix as I already had the cream of chicken soup in my pantry but it was not low sodium. Just freaken delicious!!! Thank you so very much for this recipe! Will definitely do it again! 10/10!!!!!

    Took your advice to use low/no sodium options (we’re both really trying to cut back) and it turned out perfectly!

    I made the recipe exactly as written. My pork chops were on the thin side. I cooked them about 5 1/2 hrs. removed from the crockpot, stirred in the 3TBS cornstarch slurry and added the chops back in for a few minutes. The gravy was perfect!!

        I made it tonight. Was out of cream of chicken soup so I used cream of mushroom soup. 6 boneless chops (not thin), 4 hours on low and then the 1/2 hr to thicken. Served with mashed potatoes. My new favorite go to! Delicious! Thank you!

    Absolutely delicious pork!
    I used homemade onion soup seasoning (thanks for the recipe) and pork tenderloin. Brandie you always come through with the best recipes! Your website is my go to!

    I have been making this for years everyone loves it. try it with chicken. I brown the chicken then put it in oval crockpot and cover it with the other ingredients.

    1. It depends on what you consider a pack? Do you mean a 4 pack or a 6 pack (or more?) It also depends on the size of crock pot you have and whether it’s large enough to properly accommodate doubling the recipe. If it’s not large enough, it won’t cook evenly. Do you want a lot of gravy? Are you sensitive to sodium because doubling the other ingredients could end up making it too salty for you. Lots of things to consider when asking about doubling.

    Been waiting a long time for bone-in pork chops to be on sale. I immediately thought of this, tonight’s dinner. I have a board on my Pinterest as we scaled down to the 4-quart size & this is pinned.

    I cooked this recipe for the first time . It was the best pork chops, tender and delicious. I will definitely be cooking this again.

  11. Do you think I could substitute a beef sirloin tip and beef broth in place of pork chops and chicken broth? I absolutely love this recipe but I’m out of pork chops and the family is asking for it!
