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.

I could not find thick bone in chops so I opted for the boneless, they are not well marbled only with fat on outside of chop. Should I adjust my cooking time? I don’t want dry tough chops. Thanks.
It may not take as long to fully cook Libby. 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 don’t like mushroom soup can I only use cream of chicken. My husband sent this to me I am goin go to try it
You can substitute it with any cream soups such as additional cream of chicken soup. Enjoy Nancy!
my husband and I loved this recipe, such a simple recipe and so good. My husband has teeth problems and I have to make sure everything is well cooked and soft. They were tender and great flavor. I added Lawry’s garlic salt and season salt to pork chops. Was a hit run, can’t get enough of that gravy. saved it another meal. was good with meatloaf too.
I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed this recipe Angelique!

Crock Pot Pork Chops
.
can you prep the night before
Yes, this can be prepared the night before. Ensure the sauce is cooled before adding it to the pork chops if leaving if overnight. If the sauce is cold from the fridge, you may need to add a little bit of cooking time.
Can I substitute beef broth for beef stock? Accidentally bought stock instead of broth.
Thanks in Advance!
Hi Shelby, yes these can be used interchangeably. Enjoy!
How long should I cook this with thin bone in chops (5 of them)
Hi Jessica, I would maintain the cooking time as suggested. I haven’t tried this with thin chops however some readers have been successful. I would suggest you ensure your chops aren’t too lean or they will dry out.
These were great, made them before and just called my brother to start them up 7 hours by the time I get home, start the rice and we’re eating at 6:30 – 7PM. Love my slow cooker, cooking while not at home.
That looks more like a pork steak rather than a pork chop. I have never seen a marbled pork chop like that. Would you agree that’s probably labeled a pork steak? Just trying to help others out who may be searching for marbled pork chops and not finding many.
We have used thick pork chops and pork steaks in this recipe successfully.
I have just found you. I am truly enjoying your recipes. They are very easy to follow ad I really appreciate the nutritional information.
I will tell my friends.
Thank you for all your hard work
You’re welcome Kathy, and thank you!
Not a pork chop lover but these were the best I have ever had! Great flavor and super tender. Mine were done in 5 hours to perfection. Hubby says recipe is a keeper.
I’m drooling – will definitely try. I don’t have a crock pot. ?Any idea what the “low” crock pot setting is in a conventional oven? I would cook low & slow in a LeCrueset-type enameled cast iron lidded pot.
We make this similar pork chop recipe in the oven, the cooking times should work well with this recipe too.
Holly….at what temp and how long in the oven??
You can find the full recipe here Laura.
Crock pot low stting is about 190°
sooo tender and tasty
Love it ❤️
I have 2 thick cut bone in loin chops..how long should I cook on low?
Thanks
We cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the pork is tender and cooked through. I would check it around 6 hours to ensure it doesn’t over cook but it should work the same way.
Easy and delicious!
Absolutely loved it, Delicious, definitely a 5 star, cooked on high for 4 hours pork chops just fell apart
Thanks! I’m making this today and really didn’t want to wait 7 hours. Very helpful review!
Would cooking on high for 4 hours yield a good result?
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!
This looks so good! I wonder if I can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of bacon?
Sure you can! It’ll change the flavor slightly but will work just fine.
