FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use boneless pork chops?

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.

What can I serve with pork chops?

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) and maybe some Butter Swim Biscuits!

Can I cook this high?

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.

Can I use a different cream soup?

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.

Should I salt and pepper the pork chops?

You could definitely season with pepper but I don’t recommend salt as there is enough salt in the other ingredients.

Can I use fat-free or low sodium options?

Where applicable, you could certainly substitute with those options. I prefer low sodium options here because we’re also using packets of pork gravy and onion soup mix which also have sodium in them.

Do I need to thicken the gravy?

It’s totally optional but I really think the gravy works better when thickened.

Can I use a round crock pot instead of oval?

I find this recipe works better in an oval slow cooker instead of a round one. The chops cook more evenly. 

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container and put into the refrigerator. Eat within two days. I don’t recommend freezing leftovers.

    I realize this recipe was posted years ago, but it was too good for me NOT to leave a comment. Thank you for this recipe! This one was stellar! Great flavor & super tender. I only had golden mushroom soup on hand, so used that instead of the cream of chicken. Since I didnt have a big enough crockpot, I used the dutch oven, 300F for 2 hrs, then added cornstarch, cooked 30 more minutes. It tasted great. I will definitely be making this recipe again soon!

      Hi Deborah! You sure could! I don’t have a pressure cooker so I couldn’t tell you instructions but I’m sure your pressure cooker has instructions for cooking a beef roast. I would just go with those directions. 🙂

    I followed the recipe except instead of the onion mix I only had herb and garlic and instead of pork gravy, I only had beef gravy mix. But it all worked. Taste was good- slightly a bit salty. Served with mashed potatoes and roasted baby carrots.

    Found this recipe on my Facebook timeline. Had to try it! Just got back from the store with all the ingredients. The dinner is now officially in the crock pot. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. I used boneless chops as I already had these in the freezer. Hope they turn out as tender as the bone-in. Here is hoping…fingers crossed. I will update later with Star review. 🙂
    Cheers from Calgary Canada!

    I have never been a big lover of pork chops, but my family is! So when I came across this recipe and all the rave reviews I knew I wanted to try it. I’m so glad I did! These are the best pork chops hands down, and have made me a pork chop fan! I wouldn’t change a thing about the recipe!! I did however double the recipe to feed some friends, and cooked them on low for closer to 7 1/2 hours. They were fall off the bone perfect!

    I’ve had this recipe saved on my Pinterest for a year now and finally am getting around to trying it. Went to good ole Kroger this morning and found beautiful thick cut chops. Got all my ingredients ready to pop into the crockpot! Nothing like comfort food on a stormy day! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

    I threw in thawed thick boneless chops into my electric pressure cooker/slow cooker with all the ingredients and had this done in about 30-40 minutes and it tastes like it cooked all day when you use a pressure cooker. I just turned it to slow cooker after the pressure cooker was finished to thicken the gravy and keep it warm till dinner time. Smelled so good through the house while cooking.

    This was so easy and made some amazing, delicious chops! Will make again and again. The only thing we did differently was added a can of mushrooms. Epic.

    It sounds great but not possible for a weeknight dinner. $ hours is too long and not long enough for cooking on a weeknight. I will try it on a weekend and save the leftovers.
