How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops
Step 1: Season and Prep Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for even, flavorful seasoning.
Step 2: Mix the Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
Step 3: Layer in the Crock Pot
Place the seasoned pork chops in the bottom of your Crock Pot, then pour the soup mixture evenly over the top so every chop is covered.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–3.5 hours, until pork chops are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Step 5: Optional—Thicken the Sauce
If you want a thicker gravy, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth, then stir into the Crock Pot. Cook uncovered on high for an additional 10–15 minutes.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives before serving. Ladle plenty of savory sauce over each pork chop for the ultimate comfort meal!
Notes for the Best Crock Pot Pork Chops
- For extra flavor, brown the pork chops in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before adding to the slow cooker (optional).
- Boneless or bone-in chops both work well; bone-in may be slightly juicier.
- The sauce is easy to adjust—add a splash of half-and-half for creaminess or toss in some sliced mushrooms for extra texture.
