Ingredients Needed for Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Gravy

How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy

This recipe is one of the most simple and easy you will ever make. My entire family RAVED about how tender and delicious these pork chops were.

So how did I make them?

Start by placing your pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker. I like boneless but any cut of pork chop will work fine.

Next, mix up your ingredients in a bowl. You will need —

  • 2 (10 ½ oz. cans) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Once you get everything mixed up, simply pour over your pork chops and put the lid on your slow cooker.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.

Once it is done, remove your pork chops to a plate. Strain the gravy to remove any lumps or onions (unless you like that). Then pour the gravy over mashed potatoes and pork chops.

Everyone said this was THE BEST gravy that they had ever tasted. And to be honest, I cannot blame them. It was amazing.

Tips for the Best Pork Chops

Choose Thick Pork Chops

Thicker chops hold up better during the long cooking process and stay juicy.

Sear First (Optional)

While not required, browning the pork chops in a skillet for a few minutes before adding them to the slow cooker creates even more flavor.

Don't Skip the Gravy

The pork chops release juices while cooking, creating an incredibly flavorful gravy that's perfect over potatoes.

Thicken the Gravy

If you'd like a thicker gravy, whisk together:

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Stir into the slow cooker during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking.

What to Serve with Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy

This meal pairs beautifully with classic comfort food sides, including:

Storage

Freezing Instructions

These pork chops freeze beautifully.

Allow everything to cool completely before transferring the pork chops and gravy to freezer-safe containers or bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating

Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through. Add a splash of broth if the gravy becomes too thick.

Recipe Variations

Creamy Ranch Pork Chops

Add one packet of ranch seasoning to the gravy mixture.

Mushroom Lovers

Stir in sliced fresh mushrooms before cooking.

Onion Gravy

Add sliced onions to the bottom of the slow cooker before placing the pork chops inside.

Herb Version

Add fresh thyme, rosemary, or sage for extra flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen pork chops?

It's best to thaw pork chops before placing them in the slow cooker. Starting with frozen meat can keep the food in the temperature danger zone for too long.

Absolutely! Cream of chicken, cream of celery, or cream of onion soup all work well and creates tender pork chops in gravy.

Can I cook this all day?

Yes. Cook these crockpot pork chops on LOW for 7-8 hours produces the most tender pork chops.

Both boneless and bone-in pork chops work well for this easy pork chop crockpot recipe. Thick-cut chops generally stay juicier after the long cooking time.
