Easy Crock Pot Pork Chops
This is an AWESOME recipe that came from my great grandpa, which was passed down to my mom, which she passed down to us. It makes an amazing gravy and the pork practically melts in your mouth! It is ridiculously easy and takes less than 5 minutes of actual prep time… but it tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. This recipe is perfect for Sunday dinner, or a busy weeknight.
When my mom was in college she would go over to my great-grandpa’s house and he would make these pork chops for her. When he made it for her, he used two cans of cream of mushroom soup instead of one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom. I like it with the cream of chicken because it adds a bit of a brighter dimension but it is great either way! Make sure to use just the soup straight out of the can — no need to add water!
Substitutions to try:
If you aren’t a fan of canned “cream of” soups, try our Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup Substitute. It has all the flavor of a canned soup without the preservatives.
We use thin boneless pork chops for this recipe but you can also use bone-in chops. If you use a thicker chop, make sure to adjust the cooking time. Same goes for frozen chops — either thaw them before you put them in, or adjust the cooking time. We have seen recipes much like this one that use chicken instead of pork, which would actually be a great substitution if you don’t like pork. You can shred the chicken before serving or just keep it whole.
Some have said this recipe is a little too salty for their tastes, feel free to use low-sodium “Cream Of” soups and that should help with the salty-ness.
The Gravy & Potatoes:
This recipe makes a really tasty gravy that goes great with mashed potatoes! You literally don’t have to do anything. Once the pork chops are done, you can just use a slotted spoon or tongs to get the pork out of the Crock Pot and use whatever remains as gravy. We love serving the pork chops and gravy with mashed potatoes. To get the perfect mashed potatoes every time try our recipe HERE! These pork chops also go great with rice or steamed vegetables.

Excellent recipe. Delicious!! Best way to cook pork chops.
Janice Monfre says
These are the best pork chops. I sear mine a little bit. I am serving these tonight for a dinner party.
I’m sure they will love them as much as we do.
Thank you
Angela Ferrara says
Meat was tough followed recipe may have cooked too long 8 hours on low?
Laura says
I put a Package of sliced mushrooms and one sliced onion on top. My husband is a mushroom freak and an onion never hurts. Delish
Becky says
I love experimenting with recipes. Instead of spraying my crockpot, I greased it with Country Crock margarine and added carrots, onions, and small potatoes. Cooked on low for 8 hours. It was fabulous!
Sammi says
I did these tonight in my Instant Pot! The flavor is absolutely perfect! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
erin says
if i wanted to double this recipe how would that change the cook time?? looking to cool on low, thanks!
Echo Blickenstaff says
Doubling the recipe won’t change the cook time at all. Thanks for asking!
Sherl Mims says
Love this recipe. So glad I found again. I had copied it before but never can find it. So glad it was on here when I looked for it. Thank you so much.
Paulette Bailey says
Could you replace pork chips with chicken breast
Favorite Family Recipes says
We haven’t tried it that way before, but I don’t see why not!
Paula says
Added baby potatoes sliced in half, my chops have been really juicy as the sauce was runny, so I thickened to make it gravy like. Thanks
Randi Troxell says
Probably a silly question but should the pork chops be thawed??
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, we used thawed pork chops for this recipe! Cooking frozen meat in the slow cooker can be dangerous because it takes too long to get to a “safe” temperature.
Julie says
I have cooked frozen meat right out of the freezer before and it turns out fabulous. A co-worker of mine does it also. We usually cook the dish about 10 hrs. We put the frozen meat in with all the seasonings before we go to work and by the time dinner comes it is done perfect.
Bonnie says
I would really appreciate a picture to go with the recipe when printing it out. I’m more likely to make it later down the road when I have forgotten what it looks like.
Barbara Whitlock says
Does the time change if my pork chops are 3/4″ thick and i am using an Instant Pot?

Star says
Made this for the first time this evening. My parents and kids loved it. My parents kept repeating “delicious”. My son went for seconds. Fast, easy and great flavor.
kendra says
I really dislike mushrooms,they make me nauseous when I eat them. Is there a substitute for the can or can I double the cream of chicken, the Recipe LOOKS delicious and I really want to try it.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes you can double the cream of chicken! I make it that way for guests who don’t like mushrooms.
Julie says
Try cream of chicken with herbs…it really makes a difference. That is all I buy when I can find it.
Helen P. says
This is heaven in a crock pot!!
Crystal says
Like everyone said it was indeed delicious. I used cream of chicken and cream of broccoli soup. My daughter does not like mushrooms.
Annie Quirion says
I have 1 1/4” (thick) pork chops so how long should I cook them in the crock pot? Can’t wait to make them!
Favorite Family Recipes says
I would do 7 or 8 hours on low for that size of pork chop!
Julie says
Also tender rise them with a mallot. That is what I did. It also makes them thinner to cook quicker. I put the ranch seasoning on them and then I pounded then a bit thinner. Then put on more of the ranch seasoning. They turned out so good.
Julie says
This is such a quick and easy recipe. No matter what size chops you have it will work. I usually make this for two people. I only use one can of soup but I add half a can of milk. Oh and using cream of chicken with herbs if you can find it is delish(I hate mushrooms). I have used thick and thin chops with this. With the thicker chops I recommend using a mallot with them to tenderize and make a little thinner to cook(which is what I do). I usually put the ranch seasoning on and use the mallot to tenderize(put in a plastic bag so the raw juices don’t go all over your kitchen)and then put some more ranch seasoning on when I put in the crockpot. No matter what this recipe is great! Side note….I have put frozen chops in the crockpot(forgot to thaw them the night before) and it still turns out great. Just make sure you give them extra cooking time like 10hrs. My co-worker does this also. Hope this helps.
Michele says
I have frozen chicken breast for this recipe can I just follow the same recipe? And how long do you think I should cook it?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I haven’t tried it that way before, but I can’t see why not! Let me know how it turns out if you do try it!
Sharon says
I am going to try this recipe tonight for my family. Can rice be added underneath the pork chops? How much
Iiquid would need to be added? My mom states my dad used to cook pork chops and spread mustard on both sides and it was delicious. Would this recipe be ok to do that? Appreciate your feedback .
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hey, sorry we are just getting back to you! We haven’t tried those variations so I’m not sure how it would turn out! What did you end up doing?
Noelle says
This was so simple to make, great flavors!!
Jessie says
This whole meal looks perfect for the fall! You had me hooked when I saw those potatoes and gravy!
Denay DeGuzman says
These crock-pot pork chops were so delicious! They were enjoyed by all. Adding this to the monthly meal rotation.
Elaine says
These pork chops make my mouth water. And the side choice is just perfect. One of my favorite combos!
Andrea Metlika says
I’m all about dump and let the crock pot do the work. These looks fantastic!
MarkyMark says
Excellent!! Added a package of fresh mushrooms and half a sliced sweet onion. Used the spicy ranch to add some kick. Served with garlic mashed potatoes with the gravy. Will be on my short list from now on.
Carolyn P says
Can I substitute the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with a Hidden Valley Ranch Dip packet?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I haven’t tried it that way before, but if you do try that you would need to add some more liquid.
