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 followed the recipe exactly and this recipe is A-MAZING!!!! I will be sharing it with family. It was so flavorful and the chops were tender. I didn’t even need to thicken the gravy, it was perfect! Served it over mashed potatoes with brown n serve rolls.
My thoughts for next time and like I said I will share with family who happen to have small children. I wont use the bone in chops. As careful as I was to pick out the bones I ended up with several very small bones. When I try it next I’ll come back and let you know if they cooked up as tender as the bone in. Great recipe!
I love this recipe it’s easy to do and the crock pot doesn’t heat up my small apartment.
You may as well just stop scrolling and make it. These are the perfect chops! I can’t master them to save my life, but today I opened the crockpot and poked on with the spoon to check and it literally fell apart. Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I couldn’t find any bone in pork chops and I made boneless and they were great.
the recipe was easy to use and the food was wonderful.

I’m new to crock pot cooking and I love it! I made this just as you wrote except I did sauté the onions and mushrooms a bit for flavor. I cooked in high for 3 hrs then low for about 1.5 hrs… I did use the slurry because I like a thick sauce. It is absolutely delicious and reminds me of my mom’s version. A very homey, comforting dish! Thank you!!
can you cut this in half, there’s just 2 of us. And this looks delicious.
Hi Stacey, I have not tried cutting this recipe in half but I think it should work! Keep in mind though, you might have to adjust the cooking time :)
The pork chops in the crock pot were beyond great. Hubby loved them too. TY
This was so good! I’m a cream of soup nay sayer, so I was really surprised how good it was. I didn’t use a crockpot though, made everything in one oven safe pan and baked it 350 degrees for and hour and a half then 325 degrees for another hour and a half with a lid on.
I didn’t have cream of mushroom but golden mushroom.
Would make it again definitely!
I followed the recipe and it turned out great. I first tried to remove the cooked chops with a fork and the chop just fell apart had to use a spatula. Melt in your mouth. I served this over white rice and it was perfect. This is a excellent dish. It’s quick, easy and will become a favorite.
Is it necessary to brown the chops before using the crock-pot? three minutes a side seems like overkill when they cook 7-8 hours in the slow cooker.
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.
Just fry them long enough to get a nice crust on them it’s well worth the effort.
Absolutely Delicious!!! My hubby loved it too !
Tried this last week for the first time and my family LOVED it! My guy says it is now his favorite dish that I cook.
Added Lipton onion soup mix..half a package for more onion flavor. Delicious!
omg. I don’t see my other post in here thinking I messed up on putting cream of chicken soup in the recepie but disregard it! i just saw that they are both actually supposed to be there. lol
So glad it worked out for you, hope you enjoyed the recipe Karen!
I just put this in my crock pot for the first time and am pretty sure it will be a 5 star meal. the only thing is is that I am so used to bringing out cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup that I wound up accidentally putting the cream of chicken in with the mushroom soup and broth. I hope it will be a happy accident!
Fabulous taste. Will add it to our rotation. Just added steamed green beans at the end. Served over egg noodles. Thanks so much for a great recipe!!!
I switched out the cream of chicken for Campbell’s French onion soup. so delicious. Hubby & enjoyed this recipe.
Awesome! Easy and lot’s of flavor! The chops are fork tender!!
How should I adjust the recipe for 6 chops instead of ?
You could double the recipe for easy math. Or you can push print on the recipe card, adjust it to 6 servings (which will change the recipe to 6 pork chops), and then will see all the updated ingredient quantities.
