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.

This was very good. Eating leftovers right now. I didn’t measure spices, just liberally sprinkled both sides of chops. I also add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce as per comments. Served over rice. Will make again. Thanks.
By the way, I cooked on high for 2 hours, then lowered to slow for 3 hours and they turned out perfect.
What a great comfort food. We all loved the tender pork and the delish gravy. Served over mashed potatoes. Yum!!!!!!!!!! Love your recipes, so good, so tasty, and so easy for such great flavor. Thank you Holly.
should I brine the chops first
The chops do not need to be brined. Ensure you’re using well marbled chops or pork steaks.
These were the.most tender pork chops I’ve ever had and I used lean pork chops and very tasty. The only thing I did different was I added wocestershire sauce when I mixed the soups together. otherwise I stuck to the recipe. I’ll be making these again.
Do these freeze well? It’s just me and I won’t eat more than 1 at a time.
I am not sure if this recipe would freeze well since it’s made with cream soups. But we would love to hear how it turns out for you if you decide to try it!
Just here to say that I absolutely butchered this recipe and it still came out amazing…I can only imagine how good it would be if I actually followed it! Had to improvise with what was on hand…super thick boneless chops (the 6 pack from Sam’s Club), only ONE can of cream of CELERY, a teeny tiny can of mushrooms, and a small container of chopped onions (leftover from our meal the night before). I measure seasonings with my heart so I just liberally sprinkled them all over the chops (and only had smoked paprika)…and made up for the lack of liquid by increasing the broth and adding butter. It was SO TENDER and flavorful! My husband is still raving about it. I will never be lazy and not pre-sear meat again….I’m very sure this made all the difference!
great recipe! always tender.A family favorite. we have this at least once a month.
I have made these a couple of times…..so easy and so delicious.
no flavor I would pass never will cook again
I have made recipes off this site before and enjyed them. I had such high hopes for this recipe. Sadly, very disappointed. I liberally sprinkled the seasonings on the pork (more than called for) before browning and actually added an extra onion and extra mushrooms to the crockpot. It cooked for 8.5 hours and we ended up with tender pork but completely flavorless. I fully admit I can be light on salt in day to day cooking so did not add more than what I had put on the chops but can’t figure out why a recipe with two cans of soup–loaded with salt–felt like it had absolutely none in the entire dish. I am always looking for new recipes for the crockpot as I work a late 16 hour day one day a week. Was hoping this would be one to add to the rotation but now feel like wasted the money the pork cost us.
I’m sorry this recipe didn’t turn out as flavorful as you’d hoped, especially after a long day—I totally understand how frustrating that can be. We’ve had lots of great feedback on this one, but I appreciate you sharing your honest experience. If you do decide to try again, you can certainly add bit more seasoning to your liking (or even a dash of Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder).
Delicious tender love the gravy so easy just a little time to prepare it’ll be a regular in my house
do you need to season porkchops before or can you out them in crockpot directly
We recommend seasoning and browning the pork chops before adding them into the crockpot.
Absolutely beautiful and easy meal- will be on rotation!
Can I cook on high for a shorter length of time?
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!
Made this today using 1lb boneless chops, 1 can beef broth & 1 can cream of onion with all other ingredients except mushrooms, we’re not fans. It came out great!
Hi Holly can I prep these the night before and turn on the crockpot in the morning before I leave?? My mornings are hectic.
Thx.
We have not tried prepping this recipe ahead but that should work well! We would love to hear how it turns out.
Awesome,, thx
Easy to make. Delicious!
Seasoned LIBERALLY cause I over season every recipe to my liking. But this is the first time I actually enjoyed Lean, boneless pork chops. Never making them any other way again! They fell apart with a fork with barely any force. Thank you!!!
I made this, and it turned out sooo good!
It was fall off the bone tender chops. Very tasty and delicious. My daughter who is a picky eater, loved it. I’ll definitely be making this again!
I followed the recipe exactly as described.
