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.

Could I use frozen pork chops?
Hi Kim, I haven’t tried this recipe using frozen pork chops, but you could defrost them first then it should work as written.
How thick of porkchop should I use?
The most tender delicious results do come from a bone-in thicker (approx. ¾″) chop with nice marbling throughout.
Thank you, I am going to enjoy trying your recipes
Using the recipe for crock pot pork chops with mushrooms and onions. It smells delicious and can’t wait until it’s done. Very easy recipe to follow!
Is water added to the soups when you put them in skillet, or is the broth the only liquid used?
The broth is the only liquid added. Enjoy!
Holly, I really want to make this for Christmas Eve. Problem will be for 16 people. Would a 6 & 8 qt slow cooker hold all of this or should I use a roasting pan? I’m not a very good cook & don’t want to ruin Christmas. This sounds so good & gluten free for two of my family members.
Hi Mary,
You can certainly make the chops in 2 slow cookers. I hope everyone loves the recipe!
Used 6 chops, half up the amount of soups. 5 hours later falling of the bone. Served over bow tie noodles with a side bowl of green beans and potatoes. Perfect.
Sounds delicious Ken! So glad you enjoyed the chops!
Can two cans of cream of mushroom soup be used instead of one of each cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup?
Hi Nancy, we have only made the recipe as listed but that should work. It will change the flavor slightly but should still turn out delicious.
This is an awesome recipe. I’ve made it several times now and it always turns out great! What I’ve noticed is that there is usually gravy left over (which freezes well) and when mixed with browned ground beef, makes very good faux-stroganoff served over noodles or rice.
So happy to hear that Tom! Glad you enjoyed it.
Can i cook them on high for 4 hours?
While we have only made the recipe as written, some readers have shared that they made the pork chops on high for 4 hours successfully. Let us know if you try it Amanda!
I only keep a mixture of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. Will this work and do I need both cans?
Hi Craig, that should work great and we made this recipe with 1 can of each :) Enjoy!
I have not used my new crock pot yet but every recipe looks so yummy.
Crockpot Meals are so easy, you will love them Linda!
Hi Holly, do I set the slow cooker on low or high for 7-8 hours?
Hi Jessica, you will want to cook it on low for 7-8 hours :)
Tried these tonight for the first time. They were fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome Mario! Glad you enjoyed them.
I am making this right now! Thanks for posting this recipe. I can’t wait to have these for supper tonight. Mmm!
Added Applewood Smoked seasoning to this and Charcoal BBQ’d the pork chops last night.
Mmmm, great additions Scott! I bet supper was mouthwateringly delicious.
I’ve been making this recipe using chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless) and it is awesome!
Does this freeze well after cooking it?
I haven’t tried freezing this recipe after cooking it before. If you do try freezing, I would suggest adding everything to the freezer bag except the “cream of” soups and once you’re ready to add it to the slow cooker, just add the contents of the bag plus the two soups.
YUMMMM….
So happy you think so Denyse!
Can I double this recipe? I have 8 to feed every day.
As long as your crockpot can hold it, by all means double it!
Excellent Recipe! I prepped everything last night, so all I had to do was brown the pork chops and throw it all into the slow cooker. This tenderizes and moistens the meat so much that I believe pork tenderloin steaks would work well too.
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe Don!
Your recipes all look so yummy
Thank you Eileen!
This is my families new favorite pork chop recipe. Its inexpensive which is always a plus. It’s an easy to follow recipe that anyone can handle and it is absolutely delicious! It can be served with (or over, which I prefer) rice, mashed potatoes or my families favorite, egg noodles. Steam something green for a side and you have a well rounded, pretty and scrumptious dinner:)
That sounds like the perfect meal Tiffany!
