Crockpot meals are some of my favorite dishes to make! First, they make dinner a breeze, and second, our family just loves them, especially on cold days. This crock pot meal will take you less than 10 minutes to prepare.

While I love a good pork chop, I think the gravy is really the shining star here. Make a simple sauce from the pantry’s list of ingredients below. This gravy will deliver a soulfully, rich flavor of cooked gravy. The pork soaks up all the flavors and becomes super tender and delicious.

Ingredients Needed to Make This Crock Pot Pork Chop Recipe

One of the most frequently asked questions about cooking pork involves cooking pork chops in the crock pot. I think people love pork chops but aren’t always sure exactly how to cook them so that they stay nice and juicy.

Crock pot pork chops are an easy dinner to get on the table with minimal effort.

• 4 thick-bone in pork chops
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1-10.5oz canned cream of mushroom soup
• 1-10.5oz canned cream of chicken soup
• 1-14.5 oz can of beef broth
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms – I used fresh white button mushrooms
• 1/2 yellow onion, sliced

Substitutions

You can swap out a Pork Loin if you can’t find Pork Chops! Boneless pork chops are essentially pork loin sliced into nice-sized portions.

Swap chicken for the pork. Pork is considered the “other white meat” because of the way it looks when it is cooked. It has a mild flavor, so you can often swap pork for chicken and chicken for pork in a recipe.

Instructions to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops

The most important piece to making this recipe is deciding what time you want to eat. These pork chops take 7-8 hours to cook, so you do need to plan accordingly to coordinate your side dishes.

Step One: Preheat oil over medium-high heat using a large pan. Season pork with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Step Two: Sear pork chops on each side for about 3 minutes each.

Step Three: Remove pork chops from the pan. Set aside.

Step Four: Add cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup plus the beef broth to the pan and whisk until a sauce develops.

Step Five: Place mushrooms and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the pork chops on top of the mushrooms and onions.

Step Six: Pour the sauce over the top. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or until pork is tender.

Storing Left Over Smothered Pork Chops

Cooked pork chops don’t keep forever. When it comes to their shelf life, here’s what you need to know, so it doesn’t become a guessing game.

Cooked pork chops will keep 3-4 days in the fridge. In the freezer, they will keep forever (although they will lose their best quality within 2-3 months from the date of freezing). This means if freezing, I would make sure to eat them within 3 months of initial freezing.
