Rave Reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This recipe is the only way I make chops in the crockpot! They always come out tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The gravy is excellent. I use bone-in pork chops only. Thanks for sharing this recipe! – Mary
We discovered this recipe a few months ago and it is my favorite way to eat pork chops. It is a family favorite! – Melissa
I am a big fan of crock pot meals and this is a favorite recipe for my family. When grandkids are with us they clean their plates clean when I serve. They enjoy the sauce over the mash potatoes too. So…kid approved, Grandma happy! 😊 – Carol
Great Grandpa’s Famous Pork Chops
This easy Crock Pot Pork Chops recipe came from my great-grandpa and was passed down to my mom, then to us. 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. It’s a cozy, comforting, no-fuss meal that only takes about 5-minutes to prep.
As it slow cooks, it makes the most flavorful gravy and fork-tender pork chops. They practically melt in your mouth!
My great-grandpa used two cans of cream of mushroom soup, but I like to use one can cream of chicken and one of mushroom for a brighter dimension. No need to add water – just pour the soup in and let the slow cooker do the work.

Ingredients Needed
- Pork Chops: I use thin boneless pork chops for this Crockpot pork chops recipe, but you can also use bone-in chops. If you use a thicker chop, make sure the internal temperature reaches 145° F before serving.
- Ranch Seasoning Salad Dressing and Recipe Mix: I prefer the Hidden Valley brand seasoning mix.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: The Campbell’s brand is my go to when making this recipe. When I don’t have it on hand, I make my own cream of chicken soup recipe.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup: For a quick and convenient meal, Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom is what I use. When I have more time, and want more mushrooms in the gravy, I make my own cream of mushroom soup recipe.
Substitutions and Additions
- Cream Soup Substitutions. You can adjust the flavors of the gravy according to the type of cream soup you use. Cream of Celery or Cream of Onion can be substituted for either cream soup in the recipe, or you can use two of the same flavor.
- Lower the Sodium: To cut down on the salt content or to simply reduce the sodium in the gravy for this recipe, use low-sodium cream soups. You can also make your own cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soups and control the amount of salt.
- Chicken Instead of Pork. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be used in place of the pork chops. Please note that chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
- Additional Seasonings. The packet of ranch dressing mix contains plenty of seasonings, but feel free to add fresh herbs, sautéed onions, minced garlic, garlic powder, or pepper to suit your tastes.
How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops
- Prepare the Crock Pot: Use a slow cooker liner or spray the inside of the crockpot with baking spray. Place the pork chops in the Crock Pot.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over each pork chop front and back.
- Combine the Soups: In a separate bowl, combine the two cream soups and mix well. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops.
- Set the CrockPot: Place the lid on the Crock Pot and set to low. After 4-6 hours, pork chops are fully cooked and ready to serve.
What to Serve on the Side
The creamy gravy that cooks along with the pork chops in the crock pot is delicious served over mashed potatoes. You literally don’t have to do anything extra to make the gravy. Once the pork chops are done, you can just use a slotted spoon or tongs to get the pork out of the crockpot and use whatever remains as gravy.
My go-to meal is serving the pork chops and gravy with mashed potatoes and a side of steamed vegetables. The gravy is also delicious served with homemade rice or over egg noodles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Bone-in pork chops work great in this recipe. They may take slightly longer to cook, just make sure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F before serving.
No, you will need to thaw pork chops before using them in this recipe. According to the USDA, frozen pork chops can take too long to reach a safe internal temperature in a slow cooker. This can result in food borne illnesses – and no one wants that!
No browning is necessary. This is a true dump-and-go slow cooker recipe. However, if you want a little extra flavor, you can sear the pork chops 1-2 minutes on each side before adding the seasonings and placing them in the Crock Pot.
A few tips for moist, tender pork chops in a slow cooker. First, coat the pork chops completely in the seasonings. Next, make sure the pork chops are covered with the soup mixture. Lastly, cook them on low until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. This should take approximately 4-6 hours with most slow cookers.
You do not need to add any water or milk. Do not follow the instructions on the can. You only use the condensed soup.
If you’d like a thicker gravy, make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water in a small bowl. Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and pour the remaining gravy into a small saucepan. Stir the slurry into the gravy and cook on medium heat until thickened – this will only take a few minutes.

Going to try this real soon
I give this recipes recently and believe me…it was so good. Easy to put together and I will be cooking it as directed and enjoying. This replaces the way of oven baking in replace and using the crockpot during summer months especially you might not want to overheat the kitchen. I rate it 5 stars.
Thanks so much for the 5 stars! I totally agree, I love not having to heat up the house in the summer when I can help it. Crock Pot all the way!
I made this for my husband tonight and he loved it! He even had plenty left over to take with him to work. He was getting tired of the same old stuff every week. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Of course! So happy to hear that he loved it so much! It’s one of my husband’s favorites too. It is a common request!
This looks so easy and yummy! Going to make this on Sunday. Bought a huge pork loin on sale and cut it into chops and froze them. So I have everything to make these.
Great idea to cut up a pork loin, please let us know how it turns out!
This a quick and easy recipe that you can use pork or chicken to cook. It is delicious with both.
My husband is a diabetic, so as a family we watch our sodium and sugar intake. As far as the soups go, I would suggest the low sodium ones. Same thing for the ranch powder. Aside from that, I absolutely LOVE how easy this recipe is. Can’t wait to try it with the low sodium suggestions.
Yes you can definitely go for low sodium or make your own!
This recipe is so good. I make this at least once a week. It is so flavorful. YUMMY!!
Thanks so much! I am so glad you like it so much!
