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.

Can this be cooked on high in the crockpot if so for how long?
We 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. Let us know how it turns out for you!
I have made this recipe close to 10 times this year! It is very much loved by our family and the mushrooms are cooked so well, the kid’s don’t even notice! I agree with some other comments, use boneless porkchops. Bone in are too tender and it’s hard to make sure you get the bones out before taking a bite. I always cook 3.5 hours high, then 1 hour low. I am making it over mashed potatoes tonight! Can’t wait!![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=)
I am so happy to hear this recipe has been a hit for you!
The recipe was delicious, but I want to caution others about using bone in chops. My husband nearly choked on a bone tonight. The pork chops were so tender and the gravy so thick that it was hard to tell where the bones are and if we got all of them out.
I enjoyed this recipe, but I will not make it again with bone in chops.
Wonderful recipe. This one’s been around for a long time but I finally got around to trying it. I had to make this for 25 people, so I used a roaster oven instead of a crock pot. I didn’t have enough time to cook it long and slow, but I did cook it at 300-400 for almost 3 hours. I knew the chops would be cooked, but I was worried about them being tender – they were very tender and delicious! I also used the cream of mushroom soup but substituted golden mushroom soup for place of the cream of chicken soup. I also added an envelope of Lipton dry onion mushroom soup. It turned out perfect even with the cooking method and time changes. The group requested steamed rice, and the chops with that wonderful gravy were so good with the rice. I got many compliments and requests for the recipe. Thank you so much for a great recipe! You made me a cooking hero! Can’t wait to make it again.![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=)
