Easy Crock Pot Pork Chops Recipe

These slow cooker pork chops are a family favorite and a great example of how simple ingredients can deliver a comforting, homestyle meal. The combination of cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, chicken broth and onion soup mix creates a savory gravy that keeps the pork chops moist while building deep flavor as they cook slowly. You can use boneless or bone-in chops depending on your preference; both work well in the slow cooker.

Growing up, pork chops were a regular dinner at our house, and I still make them often. They’re versatile and pair beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, roasted vegetables, or warm biscuits. This recipe yields a gravy that’s great for spooning over any of those sides, and it’s especially nice for a busy weekday dinner or a relaxed Sunday supper.

Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops in Gravy

This version of smothered pork chops relies on convenience ingredients for a dependable, comforting result. The slow cooking time allows the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender without much hands-on effort. If you prefer a thicker gravy at the end, you can whisk in a little cornstarch slurry over the finished sauce and simmer on high for a few minutes.

How to Make Boneless Pork Chops in Crock Pot

This recipe truly is set-it-and-forget-it. Below are the ingredients and step-by-step instructions to make these smothered pork chops. Read through the tips after the instructions for serving ideas and simple variations to suit your taste.

Ingredients

• 4–6 pork chops, bone-in or boneless (New York or center-cut chops work well)
• 1 (10½ oz) can cream of chicken soup
• 1 (10½ oz) can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Spray the insert of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil it. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the slow cooker.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, onion soup mix and black pepper until smooth.
3. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop gets some of the sauce.
4. Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours, or on low for 6–7 hours, until the pork chops are fully cooked and fork-tender. Pork is done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5. If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the chops when done and keep warm. Whisk 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water, then stir into the hot sauce and cook on high for 10–15 minutes until thickened. Return chops to the gravy to coat before serving.

Our slow cooker pork chops are a fork-tender family dinner. The creamy gravy is especially good spooned over mashed potatoes or biscuits.

Notes & Tips

• Choice of chops: Boneless chops cook faster and are easier to eat, but bone-in chops add extra flavor. Just allow a little extra time if using larger bone-in cuts.
• Make ahead: You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours, then pour over chops and cook when ready.
• Flavor variations: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce, a teaspoon of mustard, or a few sliced mushrooms for extra depth. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added near the end of cooking for brightness.
• Serving suggestions: Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, steamed rice, or with dinner rolls to soak up the gravy. Steamed or roasted vegetables make a complete meal.
• Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave; add a splash of broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
