Here’s a simple, reliable slow cooker pork chops recipe that turns out tender and flavorful every time:
🐖 Slow Cooker Pork Chops (Creamy Gravy Style)
🥄 Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4 boneless or bone-in pork chops
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp oil (optional, for searing)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Optional: sliced onions or mushrooms
🍳 Instructions
1. Season the pork
Rub chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. (Optional) Sear for flavor
Heat oil in a pan and quickly brown both sides (2–3 minutes per side). This step adds extra flavor but isn’t required.
3. Make the sauce
In a bowl, mix:
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Onion soup mix
- Chicken broth
4. Layer in slow cooker
- Add pork chops
- Top with onions/mushrooms (if using)
- Pour sauce over everything
5. Cook
- Low: 6–7 hours (best for tenderness)
- High: 3–4 hours
6. Serve
Spoon the creamy gravy over the pork chops. Great with:
- Mashed potatoes 🥔
- Rice 🍚
- Or toasted bread
🧠 Tips
- Thicker chops stay juicier than very thin ones
- If sauce is too thin, remove lid for last 20–30 mins or stir in a cornstarch slurry
- Add a splash of milk or cream at the end for extra richness
