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.

This is a hit with everyone in my house, including my toddler!
OMG so good!!!!
Can I substitute golden mushroom soup instead of using the cream of mushroom soup? I can’t wait to try this recipe and looks very good.
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure Eleanor, but that should work just fine!
This is a staple in our house now! It is so amazing. I add a little red cooking wine to the soup mixture and cook down. My husband requests it quite often and so easy to make.
If I use the ranch dressing instead of spices do I just use it when making the gravy to pour over the chops
Instead of using the spices in step 1 to season the pork, I would use the ranch seasoning. I hope this helps Mylon!
This was a hit! My family isn’t big on pork but they LOVED this dish. I used 3 lbs of boneless pork chops and cooked on high for 4 1/2 hours. It was perfect! I did use triple the “slurry” because my family wanted the gravy a little thicker. Turned out amazing over instant mashed potatoes. Oh and I used canned mushrooms which was just fine but I would love to try again with fresh mushrooms!
Thank you so much for the reply and may end up using two crock pots just to be safe
I will be making this for Mother’s Day and will be doubling the pork chops, probably silly to ask but that does mean I will need to double all other ingredients as well right?
Hi Karen, for the best results I would double all of the ingredients! For the best results in a Crock Pot, you will want it to be a maximum of 3/4 full so I would check that too! Enjoy!
Mine came out dry and blend, sauce was good though
I am making this recipe, but started I am making this recipe, but started late. Has anyone tried putting this on high heat? And if so, for how long? And do you feel it still tasted amazing?
We 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. Let us know how it turns out for you!
Great recipe. Seasoning was perfect without adding salt. I’ll make this again.
This recipe is so good! My daughter just loves this dish and literally gets excited for dinner! Thank you for sharing
If using boneless, would you just reduce cooking time?
Hi Stefanie, it may not take as long to fully cook. Use a meat thermometer to check it periodically and make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F before serving. Hope that helps!
I thought this was going to be good but it was lacking something for us…sauce was very thin and not much flavor. Won’t make again :(
Oh no! I am sorry to hear you didn’t love this recipe as much as we do.
Really good!
Just curious, can you make this without a croc pot? Just cook pork chops until done and pour sauce on top? Thanks!
For baking, I use this pork chop recipe which is similar.
This was a simple but delicious pork chop recipe. The chops were fall off the bone tender and gravy was very flavorful. No worries about tough pork chops with this recipe. Thank you!
EXCELLENT!!! I also love shoulder chops. Big and tender. About 1.5 hours before it was done I added about 12 baby potatoes on top. They were perfect when it was all finished. Had leftovers the next night, poured it over sauteed zucchini & onions. I plan on doing this one again with chicken. My husband referred to it more like a stew and I shared it with my bestie and her hubs. A big hit!
I made this tonight and it was delicious. The pork chops were so tender. I used the regular Beef Broth (not low sodium) and it wasn’t salty at all. I also added Kitchen bouquet. It enhanced the color of the gravy.
Have a question on your nutrition information. Sodium shows only 239 mg but two cans of soup has a lot of sodium. Is this a mistake?
I have tried a lot of your recipes and they are wonderful! Please continue sharing your recipes with us!!
Sorry for the confusion, this has been reviewed and updated Sharon. Enjoy!
