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.

Hi Michael, you can find the recipe by scrolling towards the bottom or clicking “Jump to Recipe” in the top header bar. I hope this helps!
Excellent recipe – I didn’t have cream of Mushroom soup so I used cream of onion soup instead – everything else the recipe called for I followed to a T. Served it with homemade mash potatoes….…pure comfort food for sure.
We always use golden mushroom soup and put on our chops. It’s great
This is delicious meal, will definitely do again
Can you use boneless pork chops for this and what would the cooking time be. Thank you
You can find information on the best chops to use in the post. I don’t recommend thin or lean chops as they will dry out with this recipe.
Wondering how this would be if you put potatoes and carrots in the crock pot after about half way through cooking , like you would a pot roast!
I have made something very similar, but I use pork steaks and one can cream of mushroom and one can golden mushroom. It makes a very nice gravy! I am going to try this recipe, but will use the golden mushroom rather than cream of chicken.
These were so yummy! The pork chops fell right off the bone. Definitely a hit in my house- I paired it with rice and made carrots also!
Yum!! looks delicious. I would use golden mushroom soup. It’s a darker more tasteful condensed soup.
Delicious. Always the pork chops are tender and juicy. Used this recipe before. We love it.
I’m planning on making this tomorrow, looks so good! However, do I really need to brown the chops first? I feed a family of 6, and like to have leftovers for another meal, so it ends up being very time consuming to brown multiple batches of pork chops (12 chops). Would it take away from the flavors *that much* if I didn’t?
You can skip the browning step if you’d like, it does add a little extra flavor but the recipe will work just fine without browning.
Can you use Heinz brown gravy or pork gravy in a jar instead of using the condensed soups? If so, should I thicken it a little?
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure it would work. If you need to thicken it before serving, you can use the same cornstarch slurry as mentioned in the notes.
This is the best pork I’ve eaten in many years. It is so tender, the mushrooms are delicious added with the pork. The gravy is amazing. We intend to make it once a week. It deserves the 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can I cook these on high instead of low in the slow cooker?
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!
Hi Holly, can you make this in the Instant Pot?
You sure can! We use this method for Instant Pot Pork Chops.
So easy to put together, and absolutely delicious. I made the recipe as written, no substitutes. The chops came out moist and tender, and the sauce didn’t need any thickening for us. Will definately make it again and again. Thank you.
First time making this recipe. We used chicken broth, and baby bellas. It was scrumptious! made mashed potatoes and Caesar salad to go with it. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
You’re very welcome Virginia!
