This Crockpot Pork Chops recipe is one of our all time favorites.
Slow cooker pork chops are melt-in-your-mouth tender and smothered in a creamy mushroom and onion gravy. The prep is extra fast for this easy recipe!
Hearty, heartwarming, and so easy to make, the slow cooker does all of the work! It’s an easy dish that everyone will agree on!
Here’s Why These Are the Best
This is a childhood comfort food turned into an effortless make-ahead dish. Oh, so many reasons we think these are the best crock pot pork chops.
- Just a handful of ingredients (most of which you likely have on hand) make this recipe so easy.
- This turns inexpensive chops into a melt-in-your-mouth meal with fork-tender perfection and a rich gravy.
- If you’ve got pork chops, you likely have the remaining ingredients on hand.
- Very little prep and simple steps make this a recipe for every day and any day.
- Great over rice, mashed potatoes, or any kind of noodles (my favorite is to serve over elbow noodles).
Ingredients
Pork Chops – When cooking crockpot pork chops you want to choose thicker bone in chops. Look for chops that are well marbled with a bit of fat throughout. Leaner cuts will not be as tender. The best pork chops for the crock pot include blade chop, shoulder chop, sirloin chop, or tenderloin chops.
Sauce Ingredients – This recipe makes an easy mushroom gravy sauce.
- Condensed Soup – We use condensed soup in this recipe because it holds up well in a crock pot. Fresh dairy can curdle or separate if cooked too long in a slow cooker.
- Broth – Regular or low sodium beef broth or stock is the base of the brown gravy. Chicken broth can be substituted but the flavor isn’t quite as rich.
- Onions & Mushrooms – Sliced onions and mushrooms add flavor. Use white or brown (cremini) mushrooms, I find brown mushrooms have more flavor. Even canned mushrooms work in a pinch.
Variations include swapping out the seasonings and adding a packet of ranch seasoning.
Important Ingredient Info
For the best tender results, choose blade chop, shoulder chop, sirloin chop, or tenderloin chops.
How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops
It will taste like you’ve been hovering over the stove all day long, but this is really the easiest pork chop recipe.
- Sprinkle seasoning over the chops and brown in a skillet. Remove from pan and deglaze the pan with broth and soup, per the recipe below.
- Place mushrooms and onions in the bottom of a slow cooker & place pork chops on top.
- Pour the sauce mixture over and cover. Cook until tender.
Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
Tips for Tender Slow Cooker Pork Chops
- The most tender results come from a bone-in thicker (approx. 3/4″) chop with nice marbling throughout.
- For best results, choose thick cut pork chops that have fat and great marbling! Look for a blade chop, shoulder chop, or sirloin chop. Personal favorite is a shoulder chop. Boneless pork chops work too, just ensure they have nice marbling.
- Meat that is very lean doesn’t work well in this recipe as it won’t give the same tender results.
- Cook the chops low and slow allowing the fats to melt into the meat creating a tender juicy result!
- If the chops aren’t tender (and you’ve used one of the recommended types) they likely need more time.
Got Leftovers?
Keep leftover Crockpot pork chops in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions over the stovetop and add a little milk or cream to thin out the sauce.
Leftovers make great freezer meals.

absolutely delicious!!! chops fall off the bone tender! gravy rich & hearty! yes, will do again!!
Meh…I made this because everyone reviewed it as a really good and flavorful. I made it last night and had it for lunch today. Honestly I thought it had no flavor and was very bland. Personally, I wouldn’t make it again.
I’ve had this recipe a few times. It’s absolutely outstanding with tremendous flavor. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli sauteed in garlic, butter and EVOO. Bone in chops, medium to large cut, 7 hours low and slow and the meat is succulent and falls off the bone. As mentioned, if you want your gravy a bit thicker, plate chips and add a tablespoon each of cornstarch or flour and water to gravy in crockpot and mix until desired thickness. Tremendous easy to make recipe!
That sounds delicious, Thomas! Thanks for sharing.
Can i freeze this after i cook it? Wanting to make it for some friends in need!
Hi Annie, I am not sure if this recipe would freeze well being made with cream soups. But we would love to hear how it turns out for you!
Very good recipe. I substituted cabbage for the mushrooms. Used chicken broth instead of beef. Sprinkled in some Tony Chachere’s Seasoning and increased the garlic powder to 1 heaping teaspoon. Served over mashed potatoes.
This was totally Amazing. The flavors all seemed to melt together. I have already shared this recipe with several friends and family.
Can you use boneless pork chops?
I have only made this recipe as listed but other readers have used boneless pork chops with good results. You may need to adjust the cooking time to accomodate though.
It doesn’t get better than this! So good, so easy
yumm
Looking forward to try this recipe.
Can I cook on high for 3 hours instead of on low??
Thank you!
I have only tried the cooking time listed in the recipe, but I would say you should be able to cook on high for 3-4 hours. I would suggest browning the chops and deglazing the pan as per the recipe before adding everything to the crock pot. Let us know how it turns out for you!
Is this from frozen or thawed?
This recipe is made with thawed pork chops.
These pork chops are outstanding. Easy and delicious.
We may never make pork chops any other way again.
I made this recipe but my gravy did not darken like this. Any suggestions?
Did you use regular beef broth for this recipe? And did you brown the pork chops? The color could also slightly vary depending on the ingredients an brands you used. If you prefer a darker color, you can also try using kitchen bouquet. I hope this helps!
I made this recipe several times very delicious. And my whole family likes it.
would it be possible to use boneless ribeye pork chops for this?
I have only tried this recipe as written but maybe another reader can offer some guidance.
Can I put the crock pot on high instead of low to speed up process
I’m excited to make this recipe. Is the three lbs. of pork chops for 1x, 2x, or 3x servings?
That is for 1x servings (about 4 servings) as the chops will render out fat and often have a bone. You’ll need about 1 large chop per serving.
I typed review twice turned the phone and it was wiped out. In short great recipe, moist. Flavorful. Beat pork chops I ever had. Thank you!
Have done it in the crock pot before though and it’s amazing!
I know this is a crockpot, but what are your thoughts about cooking in cover roasting pan at 350? Wife didn’t have time this morning to put into the crockpot so I’m home after work just now. Any advise?
I have a similar recipe that can be baked in the oven if you have thick pork steak (you can skip the breading but it will give you an idea of cooking time).
Yes Ross put in at 350,now I cover mine with foil,make it tight all around and for me depending on the size I will cook for at least hour and a half or 2 hours I like my meat tender falling off the bone
I made this tonight for dinner. I did about 5 bone in thin porkchops. I did not add mushrooms. this was soooo delicious. meat fell off the bone. so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again. it’s very easy and simple to make also. 5 of out 5! I definitely recommend this recipe.
