FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
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.
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.)
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.
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.
You could definitely season with pepper but I don't recommend salt as there is enough salt in the other ingredients.
Where applicable, you could certainly substitute with those options.
It's totally optional but I really think the gravy works better when thickened.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and put into the refrigerator. Eat within two days. I don't recommend freezing leftovers.
I find this recipe works better in an oval slow cooker instead of a round one. The chops cook more evenly.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

HOW TO MAKE TO MAKE CROCK POT PORK CHOPS:
In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, combine onion soup mix, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and pork gravy mix. Whisk together until combined. Don't worry about any lumps, they will go away during cooking. Season both sides of the chops with a little bit of garlic powder.
Place pork chops into the slow cooker. Do your best to spread them out and cover with the gravy mixture. Cover and cook on low about 4-6 hours
Just before the pork chops are done. Whisk together the corn starch and cold water in a small bowl.
Once it is smooth, pour it in with your pork chops in the slow cooker and stir gently. Cover and switch the slow cooker to high and cook for another 30 minutes (until gravy has thickened.) Then serve with mashed potatoes!

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.

Fast & Easy to make. Chops came out really tasty and tender. Don't bother putting a knife on the table. I added some paprika and mushrooms as well. If you like shrooms, do it!
Brandie @ The Country Cook

This is the best pork chop recipe ever.. My question is, can this receipt also be cooked on the stove?
Carly Munroe
Can i cook this in a instant pot? If so, how long
Elizabeth
Absolutely delicious, Brandie! This recipe is a keeper. I'll be making it again soon.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Yay! Love hearing that! Thank you so much for coming back to review, Elizabeth. 🙂

So I know you don’t recommend thin cut pork chops but that’s all I have at home so could I do it and just use less time?
Shannen
I have made this 3 times now and it has turned out perfectly every time! I do suggest taking the time to cook it on low for 6-7 hours rather than cooking on high for a few hours. It is much more tender when cooked low and slow. I am only a beginner at cooking and this recipe is easy enough for me to follow. My family is so impressed. I very much recommend!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thank you so, so much Shannen! It means a lot that you took the time to come back and leave a review. And yes, I completely agree on the low and slow with any meat. I know we want to rush it or there are times we forgot to get it started but it truly makes a world of difference!
Steve
This is my new favorite pork chop dinner. Gravey thickened nicely. Next time I will use the steamed veggies as my side dish.
Heather
My family loves this recipe although instead of pork gravy mix I normally substitute brown gravy, that way the flavor isn't overwhelmingly porky and it’s just right ☺️ 10/10
Melinda Fernie
I don't have packaged pork gravy, can I use chicken or brown packaged gravy instead?
Cheryl
Delicious!! Satisfying. Thank you, will be a repeat dinner!
Theresa
Can I use flour instead of corn
starch? Cream of mushroom instead of chicken?
Larry Cushman
I made this last week and the taste was great and the pork chops were so tender they were falling apart.
Janet Bradley
I have had several recipes call for searing seasoned chops first then putting the cockpot. Would the work in your recipe. It truly sounds amazingly delicious ;o}
Thanks, Jan
Shea
Can I put the crockpot setting on high? Mine doesn’t cook things as fast on a low setting.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
You can. They may not come out quite as tender so take care that they don't overcook. 🙂
Chrissy
I loved the recipe and so did my family. I added homemade dumplings in the last hr of cooking and they were fantastic with the gravy!!
Nicole
Hi! I love this recipe.. I want to use my instant pot since I did not set the crockpot.. how long should I cook this for ?
Diana Garrison
I seared mine before putting in the slow cooker. Tender and delish. Any suggestions to use in replace of Lipton Onion soup? Just seemed like such a strong flavor. Will be a keeper!
Ellen Yarnell
My husband always tell me he doesn't really like pork chops but eats them.
Now, he LOVES smothered pork chops. This meal was amazing!
Judi B
I think this recipe reignited my 26 year marriage! I’m not joking. Hubby was so HAPPY after eating this he couldn’t stop staring lovingly at me all night . Minor adjustments only because I didn’t have everything on hand - replaced pork dry gravy mix for mushroom dry gravy mix (didn’t have pork) and I used boneless center cut chops instead. Cooked on low for 4.5 hours, added corn starch slurry and cooked a total of 5 hours for 6 boneless center 1 1/4th thick cut chops. Fork tender, delicious with perfectly thick gravy on top of rice. Thank you!
Amy
AMAZING and SO EASY!
Denise
I love this recipe so much and I made enough one day that I sent it next-door to my dad. My dad loved it so much that he went and bought my stepmother a crockpot so she could make it for him whenever he wanted it. This is a very good recipe and it is a hit in my house and my dad’s house.
Fran
I love this recipe! It’s AWESOME the only thing I do differently is I brown my porkchops first before adding them to the crockpot and it just adds another layer of flavor! YUM!!!!
Gerald
Looks delicious and easy to make.
Jody Johnston
Delicious and very easy to make!! I have never been able to make gravy, but using this recipe, the gravy makes itself. We eat this about three times a month.
