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.

We want to hear from you! Please leave a review.
These are the best pork chops ever! Usually pork chops are not our first choice of meat for dinner but these are so good! 10/10!
I made this with chicken breasts also instead of chops,it was great!!
These come out so perfect and juicy! No more dry pork chops with this method of cooking. Thank you for sharing!
I am all about the recipes that have the word “easy” in the title!! It’s an added bonus that they are delicious!! Paired with some veggies & it’s one of my favorite meals!
This recipe is so good. Thanks for sharing
I’m going to do this , with the exception of using bbq sauce instead of soup.
So how did it turn out with the BBQ sauce instead of the soup ?
Is it possible to use a smaller slow cooker and halve the recipe?
Yes I think that would work!
i made this today but added fresh sliced mushrooms , 2 cans cream of chicken mushroom soup in place of individual cream of chicken & cream of mushroom plus a can of fire roasted tomatoes. I followed thru with thickening with cornstarch. It was amazing!!! The chops were about 2 inches thick and bone in,.
LOOK AT THE SODIUM !!!! YIKES ! THANKS BUT NO THANKS. WE WANT IT EASY, BUT WE ALSO WANT IT HEALTHY ! IF YOU COULD COME UP WITH A HEALTHIER SUBSTITUTE , THEN IT’S FOR ME AND MY FAMILY !!!
The Campbell’s soup and other soup brands offer condensed cream soups with no salt added. For less sodium in this recipe, you can use no-salt versions of the cream of chicken and mushroom soups.
Then pass on by… No need to leave a scathing comment just because it doesn’t suit your individual particular taste buds. SMH
What type of pork chops work best for this? Would boneless center cut chops turn out tender?
We have used several different cuts and they all turn out super tender! The slow cooking process really helps to tenderize the meat!
You can adjust any recipe. No need to be rude.
Exactly!
Get Low sodium? 🙄
You could use the seasonings dill, parsley etc in place of Hidden Valley mix.
when u use the 2 cans of soup do u use it with 2 cans of water
No, you just open the cans and empty the contents into the crock pot. Thanks for asking!
Do you mix the soups and then put them in?
You can, but you don’t need to.
Thank you I was wondering the same
I’m a over road trucker made this and it was delicious share with my dog over rice and her lip were smacking. THANK YOU
That’s a lot of sodium for your dog…
this was so good! made it exactly and when i took out the pork chops i added some cornstarch to the sauce to make a gravy. sooo yummy!
Made this and the wife loved it, thank you.
This is an awesome recipe….. My husband, who isn’t a fan of pork chops, loved the recipe!!
Great dish. Maybe I’ll add some pepper and my favorite pork seasoning for some added zip next time .
What a delicious meal! Anything that’s passed down by an amazing grandpa is bound to be delicious!
This looks really good! I’m going to try it, are the pork chops frozen when you put them in?
No, they are not frozen.
In the article it says frozen can be used, you just have to adjust the cook time. How much cook time should be added?
Using frozen pork chops will take closer to 4 hours on low or 8 hours on high, while fresh will take closer to 3 and 6 respectively.
These look incredibly comforting, and so easy too!
Another great recipe for my crock pot! Adding this to my dinner line up for the week; looks too good to pass up, indeed!
Campbell’s Chicken and rice soup works great? The recipe is called chicken lickin good pork chops it’s in the crock pot recipe book.
Thank you for the recipe, it was absolutely delicious and we all loved it!
Can I substitute the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with a Hidden Valley Ranch Dip packet?
I haven’t tried it that way before, but if you do try that you would need to add some more liquid.
Do you add the can of water per soup or just the actual soup?
Just the soup!
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.
