Easy Crock Pot Pork Chops have only 4 ingredients and hardly any prep time! The pork chops slow cook in a delicious creamy savory sauce you will love.
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.

Wendy says
I’m trying this recipe for dinner tonight. Using the crock pot frees up writing time for me so that’s always a good thing! I hope it comes out as good as it looks. Perfect comfort food for a chilly night! 🙂
Bob Masiello says
Most soups call for a can of water, so will I be adding 2 cans of water, one for the cream of chicken and one for the cream of mushroom?
Thanks,
Bob
Rich says
Did you ever get an answer? I question that as well.
Echo says
Nope, you just add the soup.
Mike says
No water…you want a gravy…not soup
Jessica Thompson says
It’s supposed to be a gravy not a soup. Water is not needed.
Kim says
My kids inhaled this. Going to be an ongoing dinner choice at our house
ashley says
Can I use 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom instead? Dont have any Cream of Chicken
Erica says
Yes that is ok
Brandy says
I don’t have the hidden valley ranch dressing but I’m gonna try a different seasoning on them. I’ve seen where ppl say the hidden valley ranch dressing is making it salty anyway! Hope this turns out ok tho! Thank you
Sharon says
I just put this in my crockpot (before I read the reviews and used the whole package of ranch mix :-/). I also used 4 THICK bone-in pork chops. How long should I cook it and should it be on low or high? Thanks for your help – can’t wait to see how it comes out. Super easy is my cup of tea when it comes to cooking – thanks for sharing!
Erica says
You should probably be fine.. maybe just cook it an hour longer is all. I use a full packet of ranch mix and I think it is great 😉
Dana says
Sounds Yummy!! I was searching for a good Slow-cooker pork chop recipe.
Making these for dinner tonight.
Shelley n says
wow. WOOOOOW. i decided to cook chop in the slow cooker but had no clue what else to use. i tweeter a gal who’s a cook and she suggested i search a recipe, which i did. it led me HERE. *HEART EYES*
i made this recipe today and luvd it.
instead of cream of mushroom (bleeeck, the devil’s work!!), i used 1 cream of chicken and mushroom (very mild, not bad at all!) and 1 cream of celery, and also added half a chopped onion, 1 chopped orange bell pepper, and some fresh cilantro. the bell gave it some sweet flavor and the cilantro herbed it up, so nicely! just delicious all around, creamy, tender! perrrrrrrrrfection. i will continue to make this for years to come…
Erica says
I am SO glad that you liked it! Great addition ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Sierra says
I don’t have ranch packets could I use lipton onion and mushroom packet?
Erica says
I have never used those before so I don’t know how it would alter the taste. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
SheRa Coleman says
Ive got this in the crockpot right biw with 7 boneless thin pork chops. Followed directions above and just wanted a change on pork chops. I hope thus turns out good cause hunny is on his way from a 7 day hitch I hope he loves this. I got laundry to get done and thought this would be a yummy dinner while I get some stuff done. Along with an 8 year old and a 4 month old too. I hope it taste as good as it sounds.
Erica says
Hope he liked it! Did it taste as good as it sounded?
SheRa Coleman says
Yes it was but think next time ill use only a 1/2 a paket of ranch it was a littlw salty.
SheRa Coleman says
It smells good so far!!!!!
Lyn says
Going to try this tonite using all the suggestions above. However, will use “Golden Mushroon” soup instead. Much better color and taste! My son hates mushrooms so I dump the can in a bowl add just enough water or milk to thin it out and run it thru a sieve to remove the mushrooms. I don’t use regular cream of mushroom anymore! BLICK
Amber says
I’ve made this using Dry onion soup mix instead of the dry Ranch dressing. No water-just the dry mix-1 package or half. Yummy and delicious! 🙂
Emily says
I’ll have to try that!
Rich says
When you add the soups do you also add the can of water for each?
Echo says
No, you just add the soup, not the water. Thank you for asking!
Angela says
Trying this with the ranch dressing mix recipe you provided in one of the comments! Wish me luck! 🙂
lisa says
I picked up a hidden valley hang dip mix is this the same as what reciepe calls for?
Erica says
The dip is a little different. For the best results you will want the dressing mix. If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
Robyn Wilk says
Hello, What stores sell the hidden valley dressing mix and in what section of the store?
thanks
Erica Walker says
You can find it at most grocery stores. I get a big container at Costco or you can find the packets at Walmart or grocery chains. It should be near all the bottled dressings. Hope this helps!
Cassie Cuthbert says
I actually made the same mistake in getting the ranch dip mix instead of dressing🙄 but the results were great! It was my first time so don’t know how the ranch dressing mix taste in it but the dip mix works perfect. I also did the 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of mushroom ….. my family loved it and my oldest daughter is one of the pickiest eaters in the world ….thank you so much for the recipe 😁
Barb Iorio says
Had two grandsons for a week, and tried this (because it was so easy). Smelled great. But, even though I cooked it on low, there was hardly any gravy, the chops were too tough, and the bottom of my crockpot was burnt. This pot has never done this before. Followed the recipe exactly. Any clue what could’ve gone wrong?
Erica says
That is way crazy, I have made this SO many times and that has never happened. There should be lots of gravy. How long did you cook it for? How old is your slow cooker and what size is it? I have no idea why it would have ended up that way.
deb steppe says
try low sodium cream of mushroom or chicken or celery soups- they pack a lot of salt per can also
Echo says
Yes, that is a good idea if you are watching your salt intake. Thank you for the tip!
Aneta Hempleman says
I just made this meal tonight for my mother-in-law’s birthday. No pressure right?:) and it was delicious…I pretty much followed the recipe except for putting half package of the dressing powder because you can always add salt but cannot take it out and added frozen peas that someone in the previous comments mentioned and it turned just great! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Echo says
We’re so happy you had a successful meal with this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Patti says
What size crock pot do you use?
Erica says
I use a 6 qt but you can easily do it in a 4 or 5 qt.
angela terrell says
Can you stack the chops
Favorite Family Recipes says
They can overlap but I don’t know if I would stack them. I don’t know if they will cook evenly if you have a lot of them stacked together. Hope this helps!
Marie says
Hi … I just put eleven thin cut chops in the crockpot with one can of family size cream of chicken soup and one pkg. Of the powdered dressing . I figured that since there was so many chops that the salty taste that everyone is talking about should balance out vs. Only cooking six chops….what do you think ?
Erica says
Definitely let us know how it turns out! I think it is a good idea!
Sherrell says
I had 10 thin boneless and so 5 stacked on 5…layered the ranch dressing mix with a family size cream of mushroom soup…low for 8 hrs…so good on a plate of mashed potatoes
Lyn says
I have 4 Thick Center Cut chops. Will I need to adjust cooking time? Amount of other ingredients? I hope to get them in before I leave for work. Thank you.
Emily says
It may need just a little longer, but check it at the regular time. You should be fine keeping the other ingredients the same.
Casie says
I only had cream of mushroom and cream of broccoli :(. Hope it turns out ok lol. Sounds like it’ll be good. And I just made a powder ranch recipe from online too so wish me luck lol Also could you throw on a can of peas instead of frozen? That’s all I have
Kirsten says
In the crock pot now. Didn’t have ranch mix, so just sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and basil on the chops. Looking forward to dinner tonight. Thanks.
Kirsten says
My family liked this so much that I’m making it again today for our Valentine’s dinner.
barbara says
Help please I just started making it and I added the water.. someone please help
Erica says
Yikes! How did it turn out? Hopefully it was still ok. :/
Lori says
I used two cans of cream of mushroom and a half an envalope of Lipton onion soup. Yummy. Made stuffing and green beans for the sides.
Erica says
Oh those are wonderful side ideas! Thank you for the suggestions!
Lele says
Trying this today….don’t have cream of mushroom soup, so am using cream of celery and cream of chicken, but am adding 1/4 cup chopped canned mushrooms….can’t wait to see how this turns out…
Echo says
I’m sure those substitutions will work great. Thank you!
Evelyn wishnie says
Been looking for a good crockpot recipe for an hour. Will try this today.don’t have cream of mushroom but will use can of mushrooms as someone suggested. Also a little onion soup mix.
Erica says
Great idea! Let us know how it turns out!
Brooklyn says
Trying to eat better and my cooking is criminal unless I cook in a crockpot. Going to get the ingredients for this tomorrow. Sounds yummy!! Love anything cooked with mushroom anything. 🙂
Janet P. says
I am using McCormick Montreal chicken on the chops, one small onion cut up and can of Heart Healthy mushroom soup. I threw in some baking potatoes on top. Also put in 1/2 cup water. Should be fantastic and soooo easy. Will let you know.
stacey says
I’ve made this a few times and the gravy part is not thick and it seems runny.. what do I do
Emily says
If you like it a little thicker, try dissolving a tsp or two of corn starch in 1/4 c cold water, then whisk that into the gravy. When you hear it up, it will thicken.
Mary butler says
Love these pork chops!
Will this work with chicken breasts also?
Erica says
Haven’t tried them with chicken before but I am sure they would be fine! Let us know how they turn out if you try it!
Kelly says
I have this in the crockpot now and my daughter does not like mushrooms so I added 2 cans of cream of chicken and 1 can of cream of mushroom so she wouldn’t notice the mushrooms but it would still have alittle of the flavor….ha. Plus, I only had thick pork chops. I pray it turns out great! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Erica says
Let us know how it turns out!
Stephanie says
Can you use frozen pork chops or should they be thawed?
Erica says
We haven’t used frozen– They would probably be ok though! Just check them for doneness before serving
kayla says
If the pork chops are on top of one another will they still have the same taste or should they be flat?
Erica says
They should probably be spread out as much as possible. Some overlap doesn’t hurt– you probably just don’t want they stacked on top of on another for cooking
Brian says
Amazing that people cannot read directions
AnitaH says
I agree! I think they just need some reassurance, especially if they didn’t have the certain ingredients that the recipe called for! It shows that they are interested in making the meal as close to the instructions as possible! Kudos the ones who do that!
Tricia says
Got everything in the crockpot before I saw all the comments about the saltiness. Oh well, I threw in a small, peeled potato so we shall see. So far it smells wonderful! Thank you!
Lisa says
Was wonding if can bake in oven and for how long.
Echo says
Yes, you can bake it. Place the ingredients in a 9×13 pan and cover it with foil Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour. Thanks for asking!
Nancy says
“Happy Moneysaver” site has a good copycat Hidden Valley Ranch recipe. Just use less salt.
Kristen says
I thought I was supposed to make the soup…i added water. Will this still taste good
Favorite Family Recipes says
It should still taste ok– you might just want to add some chicken bouillon to enhance the flavor. Hope this helps!
Marta says
Made this with just one can of mushroom soup and a little bit of bottled ranch dressing. Got rave reviews and smelled delicious when it was cooking.
Heather says
I didn’t have a packet of ranch mix, but I saw someone earlier say that 1/4th of a cup of ranch dressing would do about the same. I also only had 1 can of cream of mushroom, so I used half a chicken bullion cube dissolved in a can’s woth of whole milk, along with 1/4th~ a teaspoon of cornstarch to help thicken it a little. Hopefully that does the trick. I’ll come back later and let you guys know how it went. Hopefully it’s a success story!!
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hey Heather! How did it turn out for you?
Jack says
What size cans???? You didn’t actually give a recipe you gave a rundown of ingredients, those are two different things.
Favorite Family Recipes says
So sorry we didn’t include the can sizes. I have updated the recipe. Thank you for catching that! Hope this helps!
Stephanie says
ah, I just used the bottle ranch too, having only read half the comments … I’ve already mixed it in so hope it turns out okay!? :-l The couple that mentioned hasn’t left a review after the fact … would love to know now as I could dump and restart – wash off the pork chops.
Favorite Family Recipes says
You should be just fine! It will taste a little different but they will still be ok! Hope this helps!
Greg says
We have made this recipe a couple of times and found that the ranch dressing mix, or a home made version, was to salty for our tastes. This last time in place of the Ranch dressing mix we substituted a dry onion dip/soup mix recipe we found on the internet years ago that is low sodium and it was less salty and gave the recipe another taste.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dry onion flakes (also called dehydrated onion)
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.
2. Store in an airtight container.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Thank you so much for sharing how you have adapted this recipe to better suit your needs 🙂 So glad it worked so well for you!
Julia says
I’ve been making these for a while but never thought to comment until now. This recipe is great! The chops always come out super tender and the gravy makes it seem like I spent way longer in the kitchen than I did. We personally like to serve ours over rice, since it is a nice texture with the soft pork chop.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hi Julia- thank you so much! I am so happy to hear you like this recipe so much! I love the idea of serving them over rice. Thanks for sharing and for the 5-stars! 😀
Wilma Davidson says
How would you make this wonderful recipe for just two people?
We love Pork Chops but with there being only two of us, 8 pork chops would be too much.
Thank you
Echo Blickenstaff says
Yes, that is a little tricky because the ingredients are already portioned out in envelopes and cans. I would suggest cutting the recipe in half and having leftovers, or make the whole recipe and freeze the portion you don’t use. It will freeze for up to a month and you can enjoy a pre-made meal in a couple of weeks. 🙂
Patricia Keefer says
I’m always looking for something simple to make in the Crock-Pot. Well I think my I found my favorite. Everyone should try the easy pork chop recipe when you’re slow cooker with one can cream of mushroom soup when can cream of chicken soup an envelope of ranch style dressing and your pork chops put everything together in the pot and let it do its hours and it comes out so creamy and so tender the meat
Echo Blickenstaff says
So glad this recipe is a favorite of yours too! Thank you for your comment!
Donald Klatt says
DO you need to turn the chops over or let them sit the full cook time ?
Favorite Family Recipes says
You don’t need to turn the chops over. The crockpot does a great job of cooking everything evenly.
Italia says
Tried for the first time….absolutely delicious ❤️❤️❤️
