What are the best pork chops for cooking in a crock pot?
I used boneless pork loin chops for this 5 ingredient recipe. They turn out juicy and tender since they are cooked in a savory sauce.
Another good option for cooking pork chops in a crock pot is to use thick-cut, bone-in pork chops that are approximately 1 to 2 inches thick. Buy cuts, such as blade chops, shoulder chops, or sirloin chops. They are all ideal for slow cooking as the bone adds flavor, and the thickness helps retain juiciness and tenderness during the cooking process.
What is a good sauce for cooking pork chops?
The key ingredients that make this recipe delicious are beef broth, cream of chicken soup, Worcestershire sauce, and a packet of dry Lipton Onion Soup mix. These ingredients cook together to create a savory gravy that adds depth of flavor to the dish.”
Step By Step Instructions For Crockpot Pork Chops
- Begin by adding cream of chicken soup, dry onion soup mix, Worcestershire, and beef broth into a mixing bowl using a whisk. Combine the ingredients until creamy and smooth.
- Place the pork chops into the bottom of your crock pot. It’s okay if they overlap a little bit.
- Pour the gravy mixture over the pork chops.
- Place the lid on your slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Salt and pepper to taste when serving.
Cooking time for pork chops with bone in vs boneless
For boneless pork chops that are 1 inch thick, you should cook them in the crockpot on high for aproximatly 4 hours or on low for about 6 hours. For bone-in pork chops that are 1 inch thick, you should cook them in the crockpot on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
How can I tell when my pork chops are done?
To determine if your crock pot pork chops are done, you can use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. Pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to be considered safe to eat. Additionally, the pork chops should be tender and easily pierced with a fork when they are fully cooked.
Tips For Tender Porkchops
It is possible for pork chops to turn out dry when cooked in a crock pot. This can happen due to overcooking or not using enough moisture. To prevent this, you can try cooking the pork chops in flavorful sauces or broth. Also, it’s important to ensure that the cooking time and temperature are appropriate for the thickness of the pork chops. Additionally, covering the pork chops with the cooking liquid and using a meat thermometer can help you avoid overcooking and keep the meat juicy and tender.
Mix-In Ideas
This is a great basic recipe; however, you can easily add in some more ingredients to change up the flavor.
- Add in a cup of sliced mushrooms and substitute the cream of chicken for cream of mushroom soup.
- Quarter-cut a medium size onion
- Yukon Gold potatoes are cut into even-sized quarters.
- Add in two apples that have been corded, then cut into quarters.

Storing and Reheating Leftover Pork Chops and Gravy
This pork chop recipe makes great leftovers or packs them up as a freezer meal.
Refrigeration:
After allowing the pork chops to cool to room temperature, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to four or five days.
Freezing:
For freezing, place the room-temperature pork chops in a freezer-safe container or sealable plastic freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible, seal, label with the date, and store in the freezer for up to two to three months.
Reheating:
When reheating, allow the pork chops to thaw overnight in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave. Reheat using a low and slow method to prevent drying out, either in the oven at a low temperature of 300 degrees or in a skillet on the stovetop with added liquid such as broth or gravy to keep them moist. Alternatively, you can microwave them, ensuring that the pork chops are covered with a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Reheat until the internal temperature reaches 145°F or 65°C and serve immediately.

Ray, thanks for the review. I put your comment as a star rating at the top of my post for everyone to see. Your a VIP! thanks :)
You mention mushrooms and potatoes as add-ons. do you need to adjust the amount of liquids if adding potatoes and mushrooms? I’d like to try this but would want to include the potatoes and mushrooms.
Thank You!
You are right Kathleen, a little more liquid would be a good idea if you add potatoes or mushrooms.
Additional Ingredients:
1 cup sliced mushrooms sliced thick
4-5 Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
Adjusting the Liquid:
Since mushrooms and potatoes will absorb some moisture while cooking, add about 1/2 to 1 cup of extra liquid to the recipe. You can use any of the following, depending on your flavor preference:
More beef broth (1/2 to 1 cup)
Additional cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup (diluted slightly with water if needed)
Steps:
Follow the instructions as before, whisking together the cream of chicken soup, dry onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Whisk in the extra liquid also. (beef broth or additional soup and a little water)
Add the thick sliced mushrooms and quartered potatoes directly on top of the pork chops in the crockpot. Try to keep you potatoe quarters all the same size so they cook evenly. You could also leave the mushrooms whole or cut in half.
Pour the gravy mixture over everything to ensure it covers the pork chops and vegetables well.
Cook as directed: on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-7 hours, ensuring the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
