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.

Can this be cooked on high? I don’t have 7 hours till dinner.
BJ, 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!
I’ve used a lot of Holly’s recipes, and every single one of them have been superb, including this one! Thanks again, Holly, for another amazing dish.
Oh my goodness were these DELICIOUS! I used 5 bone-in 1 inch thick chops. I seasoned them with Grill Masters pork rub and followed the recipe with the addition of a packet of pork gravy and a couple of sliced garlic cloves. They were fully cooked after 7 hours on low so switched to warm. They were sooo tender and moist. Huge hit with the fam. My husband was certain he had arrived in pork chop heaven! 😁
Good not great.
Amazing……
I have thin with no bone will that be ok?
Kelly, 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 accommodate though.
I made the crock pot pork chops with mushrooms. I did not add onion because my daughter hates them. There is a ton of liquid in the pot. Do I drain it off and leave a little for the mushrooms and chops?
I haven’t found that this produces a lot of liquid so it may have been from your chops, particularly if they were very fatty. If it’s not too fatty, you can serve it over the chops. If it is, I would suggest to skim the fat off the top.
Can you prepare these the night before and cook them in the morning? I’ve Got them ready I just don’t want them to cook overnight if I don’t have to.
Yes, this can be prepared the night before and cooked in the morning.
made this today….was amazing! Pork fell off the bone. gravy was delicious!
This recipe is delicious! The pork chops came out so tender and flavor full. I didn’t have any mushrooms so it was just onions but it was so good!
My family loves this dish! Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Holly.. I followed the recipe exactly as you said. It came out delicious. The only question I have is that the gravy did not get
dark brown. Mine was very light. Did I do something wrong?
I’m so glad you enjoyed the flavor of this recipe. Gravy color can vary by brand of ingredients. If you’d like your gravy a little darker, you can add a little browning sauce at the end.
I absolutely love this recipe – but I would like to feed 6 instead of 4. Can I just increase the recipe as I normally would, or are there specific crockpot adaptations I should use?
Yes, you should be able to increase no problem. For the best results in a Crock Pot, you will want it to be a maximum of ¾ full so I would check that too! Enjoy!
Good morning, holly.I just want to tell you, thank you so much.I cooked it this morning with some broccoli on the side and some sweet potatoes and my husband love it.I’m keeping this recipe lady.Thank you again. I wish I can share the picture of it.I love
So delicious. Making this for our Sunday dinner
These pork chops are delicious and so easy to make! The meat fell off the bones! I froze the leftovers and I actually enjoyed them better reheated. The flavor really settled in. Will definitely be a repeat! Love your recipes!
I made these for dinner tonight and they were delicious. I followed your recipe exactly except I added a packet of brown gravy and when the chops were done I didn’t have to make celery. The taste was great.
I skipped the seasonings and marinated for two days. followed the recipe from there on and it came out amazing.. will be adding this to my go to meals. Thank you!
I usually do these in the oven but this turned out great! (You add more ingredients than I usually use too.)
Delicious!! It only took about 5 hrs on low so I kept it on warm until ready to serve. So tender and great flavor.
