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.

Made it tonight with egg noodles and rice, giving my family the choice of what they wanted it on. Rice was the winner! Very good and easy!
So glad to hear that your family loved it Becky!
I made this a few weeks ago and it was absolutely delicious! I followed all directions exactly. I’m going to make it again today, cooking on high for four hours because I woke up late.
So glad to hear you love this recipe Joyce! My family does too.
This was a great recipe, my son and husband loved it (as did I), I made 6 pork chops instead of 4 and there was still plenty of gravy for them and the mashed potatoes I made. I will be making this again, thank you!
So glad you loved it Corinne!
My youngest CANNOT have milk – like the “cream of” soups. What would you suggest?
I have only tried this recipe as written.
Maybe golden mushroom and French onion soup?
We all loved this recipe!!… Thanks for sharing!
I made this recipe in the oven. Baked at 325 for about an hour and a half. It was delicious. I used boneless sirloin chops. If you don’t have the spices used here you can use a seasoning salt. Your favorite. It will not change the taste. I did thicken the gravy after removing the meat to a platter. Served with mashed potatos and a vegetable.
Thank you for Sharing Vicky! So glad you enjoyed it!
This was absolutely delicious. Very tasty.. I followed the recipe to a T. But mine were done and falling apart in less than 5 hours on low, which means there were little bones throughout the gravy…so I strained it and it was perfect. Next time I will cook an hour less. There will definitely be lots of next times… thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe :)
Simple et très bon
Are the mushrooms what makes the gravy brown? I’m going to make this and I’m not a fan of mushrooms.
Thank you
The do add flavor but you can certainly leave them out if you prefer!
I’ve made this recipe twice already in the past two weeks and I like it. However, I added an extra onion because we like them and I think two cans of mushroom soup would work better than one mushroom and one chicken. The chicken flavor really comes through and I would prefer the mushroom flavor in this recipe.
Hello may I know what are the size of the soup can.
They are 10.5 oz.
Have made this recipe several times, turns out perfect every single time. Pork shoulder blade chops work the best and are really inexpensive. Plenty of fat marbling and a bone always adds flavor.
I have been looking for a receipt for pork chops in the crock pot. Loveit

The most tender chops encased in an absolutely delicious sauce. Best recipe I have made of pork chops in mushroom sauce. I have always enjoyed this dish, but this specific recipe is top notch.
