Crock Pot Pork Chops (with gravy)
This easy recipe for Crock Pot Pork Chops is so delicious! The pork chops come out so tender. Serve gravy over mashed potatoes!
The Most Tender Pork Chops Ever
This crock pot pork chops are perfect for busy weeknights and requires very little prep time. We are huge pork chop lovers in my family so I am always looking for different ways to make them. This recipe is an all time favorite! I especially love the gravy. You can whip up some mashed potatoes (from scratch or from a box or the microwave – I’m not judging!) to serve with these and you have a whole meal!
I cooked this recipe for the first time. It was the best pork chops, tender and delicious. I will definitely be cooking this again!

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) and maybe some Butter Swim Biscuits!
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. 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.
It’s totally optional but I really think the gravy works better when thickened.
I find this recipe works better in an oval slow cooker instead of a round one. The chops cook more evenly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and put into the refrigerator. Eat within two days. I don’t recommend freezing leftovers.
Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe)
- bone-in pork chops – I really think bone-in is the way to go. They are sometimes the cheaper cut but that bone adds flavor and keeps them from drying out.
- garlic powder – I only use garlic powder and sometimes a bit of pepper. You do not need to add any salt as the other ingredients already have salt added to them. Be careful if you decide to use a seasoning blend as most will have salt added to them as well.
- onion soup mix – if you aren’t a fan of the onion soup mix, you can leave it out and just season with a bit of onion powder.
- chicken broth – I highly recommend low or no sodium options. The other mixes have plenty of salt in them. You can always add salt in but you can’t take it out.
- cream of chicken soup – again, if you have any sensitivity to salt or are worried this will be to salty for your taste buds, get a low or no sodium cream of chicken soup.
- dry pork gravy mix – I think this is a stand out ingredient compared to most crock pot pork chop recipes. It amps up the pork flavor since the other ingredients we are using have more of a chicken flavor.
- corn starch and water – this is just to thicken the gravy. If you don’t want your gravy thickened, then skip this step.
How 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!

Crock Pot Pork Chops
Ingredients

- 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup, low sodium
- 1 ounce packet dry pork gravy mix
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a 5-6 quart oval slow cooker, combine 1 ounce packet onion soup mix, 14 ounce can chicken broth, low sodium, 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup, low sodium and 1 ounce packet dry pork gravy mix. Whisk together until combined.
- Season both sides of the 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to your liking). Place pork chops into the slow cooker. Do your best to spread them out and cover with the gravy mixture.

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.
- 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.

Hi! I absolutely LOVE this recipe and will never make my smothered pork chops another way again! Is it possible to make these in the oven however? When I forget to put them in the crockpot?
This recipe has been used almost weekly in my household for a few years. It’s always good and the pork chops are always so tender. I serve it over rice (my youngest son loves gravy and rice) and usually have 2 vegetables for sides. I have always used boneless, thin cut pork chops with no problem. I also double the gravy so there’s plenty leftover for my son. Thank you for such a quick and easy recipe that’s always delicious. ☺️
Awww I love hearing that Cheri! Thanks so much for coming back to comment!
We love this recipe! So easy, but tastes so good! The pork chops are so tender they are falling apart. We love it over rice or noodles.
I’m playing Mr Mom while my wife is down after surgery. I found this while desperately looking for easy meals. It’s awesome! The chops fell apart on the fork and melted in our mouths. Now everybody thinks Daddy can cook.
Delicious, as always! I used thick cut bone-in pork chops, cream of chicken soup with mushrooms and fresh sliced mushrooms added about two hours before the end. The thick chops did require a full six hours, but it was worth it — when I asked my husband to taste test, they fell apart on the fork. 🙂 Served it with boursin mashed potatoes and steamed baby carrots with honey, and it was a huge hit. Thank you so much for sharing!
Sounds AMAZING! Next time invite me over – ha!
My family loves this recipe so much that I had to do more than pin it! I had to print it out in case I ever lost it so I and my daughter could never forget how to make such an easy and tasty pork chop recipe.
Thanks
This is so amazing so tender no knife necessary. Thank you so much. Will definitely make again.
Can I use canned pork gravy ? I don’t have any of the dry gravy packets , except for brown gravy.
Also I don’t have any cornstarch, is that a must or can it go without ?
I suppose you could but I’ve never made it that way so I honestly couldn’t tell you how it will turn out. Perhaps someone else on here has and can let us know how it went.
Do you think beef broth would work okay in this recipe? my son is allergic to chicken.
Beef could be a tad strong in flavor. You could use vegetable broth though.
We have a larger family. Can this recipe be doubled? if so how does that change the cooking time?
It could be doubled, but I’ll be honest, I have not tried it so I can’t give you timing. I don’t like to guess unless I’ve tried it myself. Just make sure you are using a large enough slow cooker so these cook evenly. Perhaps someone else has doubled it and can give us an idea about timing 🙂
I love this recipe. I have cooked it a dozen of times in the slow cooker but wanted to see if anyone has done it in the instant pot and for how long and what temp? Thank you
can you use cream of mushroom instead since ran out of cream of chicken soup
Yes that would be just fine
Absolutely delicious. Great gravy!
I have made this recipe before and loved it!! My question is…can you make this as a freezer meal?
I am making this for dinner tonight and we can’t wait to try it. Something different, ya know. Instead of the same ol’ same ol’. The only thing that I will be adding is some fresh ground pepper to the chops and some fresh thyme to the “gravy” mixture since I have an abundance of it in my little terracotta pot.
I made this for dinner tonight. I used boneless chops and beef broth and it turned out amazing. The problem i was having was deciding if i should serve it with rice, mashed potatoes or stuffing… I will make this again for sure.
Could you do chicken breasts instead of the pork chops? I do not like pork chops unfortunately.
I have a recipe with chicken, here it is 🙂 https://www.thecountrycook.net/crock-pot-chicken-and-gravy/
This was delicious thank you!!!!
Yay!! So happy to hear that – thank you Sarah!
This was so good. It will be in our dinner rotation!
Delicious…and love it’s in the crockpot. This is a keeper..
Thanks so very much, Pat!
I made this recipe for the first time tonight and it was absolutely amazing! I am a bad cook and I’m not too proud to admit it so my family was pleasantly surprised when I served this. Awesome recipe and I will definitely make this often. I followed your instructions exactly as you listed. Thank you soo much for being happiness to my families taste buds
This is what I am here for Amber! I love providing easy (but good!) recipes to families who are busy or who just don’t love to cook. So you made my day with your comment!!
This recipe was absolutely delicious! I use cream of mushroom soup, sliced onions and diced mushrooms and it turned out so good. This has become a family favorite and I love to make this dish. I do a side of mashed potatoes, and another fresh veggie.
We loved this! So easy to make and it turns out exactly as described. My husband is picky but this had his approval to add it to our list of meals to make.
That is so great to hear!! I love when a recipe gets the approval from the picky eaters in the family. And it’s almost always the men who are picky for some reason. LOL
We had this for dinner tonight. I used 4 one-half inch thick boneless chops. Cooked them in the crock pot on low for 4-1/2 hours, added the cornstarch and cooked on high for 30 minutes. It turned out beautifully and delicious with perfect gravy. I served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Everyone loved it! Going on my “dinner’s list.”
Very easy prep, and delightfully delishous.
I just want to say thank you! I cook for a long term care home and used this recipe to replace one that was not going over well. Both the staff serving and the residents consuming it loved it! I am so happy. Thank you!
Can this recipe be made in the oven? I’ve made this several times and love this recipe but I’m in the middle of moving and can’t find my oval crockpot
I am sure you certainly could but I haven’t tested it so I am always hesitant to try and guess how to do it if I haven’t personally tried it. However, maybe someone on here has tried it and can let us know how it went for them!
Excellent, super tender and super tasty
Thanks so very much Tom!
Sweet Jesus this was good!! I used super thick chops for 6 hours . Came out fall off the bone tender. Boys loved it!!
Your comment made me giggle Charlene! Lol! So happy to hear that!!
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!
Yay!! Love hearing that Mike! Thanks so very much for taking the time to comment!
This is the best pork chop recipe ever.. My question is, can this receipt also be cooked on the stove?
Can i cook this in a instant pot? If so, how long
Absolutely delicious, Brandie! This recipe is a keeper. I’ll be making it again soon.
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?
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!
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!
This is my new favorite pork chop dinner. Gravey thickened nicely. Next time I will use the steamed veggies as my side dish.
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
I don’t have packaged pork gravy, can I use chicken or brown packaged gravy instead?
Delicious!! Satisfying. Thank you, will be a repeat dinner!
Can I use flour instead of corn
starch? Cream of mushroom instead of chicken?
I made this last week and the taste was great and the pork chops were so tender they were falling apart.
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
Can I put the crockpot setting on high? Mine doesn’t cook things as fast on a low setting.
You can. They may not come out quite as tender so take care that they don’t overcook. 🙂
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!!
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 ?
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!
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!
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!
AMAZING and SO EASY!
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.
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!!!!
Looks delicious and easy to make.
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.
