So many recipes are made for large families but there are thousands (if not millions) of couples or singles that just don’t need so much food and don’t want to be wasteful. Or maybe you just don’t want leftovers or have to freeze anything for later, right? I’ll be honest, I am not a huge fan of leftovers myself. But we still want to make delicious food that we know and love. So I hope you love this one as much as we do!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)
There is a reason I went with bone-in thick cut pork chops and that is because this is a whole meal being made with potatoes. We need the pork chops to cook along with the potatoes and not to dry out before the potatoes have had a chance to cook and get tender. If a thinner cut or boneless pork chops are used, they may be fully cooked well before the potatoes are ready. You can certainly try it but I do not recommend it. The bone does a couple of things here: it is adding flavor, and it adds moisture which keeps pork chops from drying out. If you aren’t adding the potatoes, then you can certainly use regular cut or boneless.
Sure! This is what helps build the gravy base, but you can swap it out for any other cream of something soup. Cream of celery, cream of mushroom, or any other cream soup that you think would taste good with this would work just fine.
You can but I really suggest taking the time to brown the chops. Browning them makes a difference in not just flavor, but it adds a nice touch visually. In addition, it helps seal in those juices and keeps them tender and moist.
This is actually a full meal all in itself but you can add a salad or any of your favorite side dishes to go alongside it if needed. Maybe some steamed veggies or perhaps some crusty bread with butter!
I have not tested this recipe in the oven – only a slow cooker so I could not tell you how to do that.
Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep them longer in the freezer for up to 3 months.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- small sweet onion – if you don’t like onions, just leave them out.
- large russet potatoes– I have only ever made this with russet potatoes but Yukon gold or red should also work fine.
- thick-cut bone-in pork chops – it needs to be thick cut and bone-in. Pork chops are a very lean cut of meat and so they may get done way before the potatoes get soft enough to eat. With a thicker cut of pork chops, they will cook evenly together. If you are making this without the potatoes, you can make this with the regular cut pork chops. I go into more detail above in the FAQ section.
- salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder – you can use any of your favorite seasoning blends. If you need a no salt option, try using Mrs. Dash seasoning.
- cream of chicken soup– use your favorite brand or make your own homemade Cream of Chicken Soup (also please use low or no sodium options if you need them).
- beef broth – you could also use chicken broth, vegetable broth and/or low or no sodium options.
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT PORK CHOPS AND POTATOES FOR TWO
Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the sliced onion and potatoes to the slow cooker and toss to combine. Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown. Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes and onions.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and beef broth. Pour the sauce over the pork chops. Place on low for 4-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours. It is done with the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 160°F and the potatoes are fork tender.
Serve immediately with some of the sauce as a gravy.

Can I omit the cream of chicken and use just the beef broth instead?
I have a homemade cream of chicken soup recipe linked above if there are concerns about using canned goods. You could do that but you’d obviously be losing all the creaminess and some flavor.
My wife loved this! Super tender pork chops & the flavor was great. I did throw in some fresh thyme since I had that leftover from another meal I made. That was the only change I made. Served with some crusty bread. Thanks for another winner Brandie
I just got this started in the slow cooker. I bought some BBQ cut bone-in pork chops (about an inch thick), used condensed cream of mushroom soup and BTB beef bullion for the gravy. I fought the urge to add any other seasoning/herbs to it since I made the bullion a little stronger than usual. I have never been disappointed by any your recipes. They are always perfect and I am loving the “Dinner for Two” recipes since there is only two of us and I hate leftovers. Can’t wait for dinner tonight!
I am so glad you are liking the “for two” series. I have a few more in the works!! You are always so sweet and makes my day to read your comments!
Hi,
I was wondering if I could use Chicken broth instead of beef ? My roommate cannot have any kind of beef . We cook with turkey meat all the time. No beef in our house…
Thank you !

Of course! That should work just fine 🙂
I have 2 very thick chops with no bone how long should I cook them? They are thick enough that if I slice them I could have 4 chops. I doprefer to leave them thick
Honestly, I would say just about the same amount of time, maybe add an extra hour. Definitely check the internal temperature though. As long as you get it to 145F degrees, you’re good. I tend to cook them a bit longer though because I like them to be super tender.
Thank you, trying it tonight can’t wait. How about some mushrooms as well?
Hi Brandie,how much is 1/2 cup of beef broth in English ?
Do you mean metric measurements? I’m sure there’s an online calculator that can probably figure it out. 🙂
Made this for my wife and I and she really loved it. It was easy to make and a lot of flavor.
So so good! Huge hit with the family! Thank you!!
Hi Brandie
Thanks for the pork chop dinner for two recipe. Sounds awesome and exactly what I was looking for. I am cooking this tomorrow. Keep up the Dinner for two or even 4 recipes.
This is an easy and yummy dinner for two. The only thing I would do differently is season the onions and potatoes before adding the rest of the ingredients. My husband loved it! I’ll be making this again.
Thanks so much Diana! I am so happy you are enjoying these recipes! I am working on some more right now!
I’m slowly making my way through your recipes for two. This was the most recent one I made. It was really good. The pork chops were tender and the potatoes had a good taste. I really appreciate you taking the time to scale down recipes. I hope you continue to do so. Have a good day 🙂
This makes me so happy to hear! I love getting the feedback! Sometimes I never know if people are enjoying the recipes so the comments help. So happy you enjoyed this one!
This is one of our favorite recipes, and it’s so easy. To save some cleanup, I seasoned the chops in the frying pan. This will be one recipe that I’ll make often.
Made these last night for my wife and I. Seasoning was spot on and we liked that they all cooked together. Less dirty dishes ha. Love these recipes please keep them coming
I cook for one and these for two recipes are great for me. I don’t mind eating the same thing twice, but all week just doesn’t appeal.
Made this meal for my fiance and she couldn’t stop raving at how good it was. She grew up with crock pot meals being pretty bland so she was pleasantly surprised and asked me to make it again!
Yay! That is fantastic Jon! I really appreciate you taking the time to come back and comment and I’m happy you changed her mind about crock pot meals!
Loved the recipe! Next time I will try the recipe with chicken.
Thanks so very much Joan! I really appreciate you taking the time to come by and leave a comment – it really does mean so much!
I make this alot but in the oven at 350 for 1 hour. I also use new potatoes so I don’t need to peel and cream of mushroom soup. Delish!
Thank you! Do you cover it?
I”ve been making this with mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms, along with a half cup white wine. so good.
Thanks Rick!
This sounds great. how do I make changes for 6????
Hi Wendy! I specifically created this for two. There are lots of recipes out there that cater to 6 & I’m sure there are plenty out there similar to this one but this is one of the few recipes just for two. Theoretically you could triple it for 6 but I’ve only tested this particular recipe for the two. 🙂
can boneless pork chops be used?
Hi Jen! I actually talk about all of that above in the Frequently Asked Questions section as well as in the ingredient listing:)
