Crock Pot smothered pork chops are a family favorite and this recipe is especially easy because it uses the crock pot. Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a delicious dinner the whole family will love!
This Saucy Little Number Is a Winner.
I’m a sucker for a crockpot recipe and these smothered pork chops in the crockpot? Major win, whether you’re looking for a summer dinner (no turning on the oven!) or cozy winter comfort food.
This is one of those recipes that just works.
You know the kind – when you need dinner to basically make itself while you handle everything else life throws at you. These crockpot smothered pork chops are ridiculously simple, but they taste like you spent way more time on them than you actually did. <— My favorite.
I make these on repeat because they’re always a hit with my family. Just like my crockpot ranch pork chops, this recipe is all about maximum flavor with minimal effort. The gravy makes itself right in the slow cooker with the pork chops, so you basically just dump everything in there and go live your life.
3 Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe
It’s crazy simple. Everything goes into one pot, and the gravy creates itself as it cooks. No stirring, no babysitting, no stress.
Budget-friendly comfort food. Pork chops are an affordable cut that turns incredibly tender in the slow cooker, and you probably have most of the other ingredients already.
Family-friendly winner. This hits that sweet spot of being comforting enough for adults but mild enough that kids will actually eat it too.

How To Make Smothered Pork Chops Recipe:
Mix: Combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic, and onion soup mix in the bottom of your slow cooker and give it a good stir.
Pork: Pop your pork chops right on top and flip them around to coat them in the sauce.
Cook: Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Remove the pork chops, whisk the gravy together, and add the pork chops right back in.
What to serve with crockpot pork chops:
I serve these over our Amish egg noodles or some Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes! These are also tasty served with our rice pilaf.
My green beans and bacon recipe is always a hit.
These roasted vegetables go with everything.
For dessert, I suggest my brownies or blackberry cobbler.

Maria Meininger says
This is absolutely delicious and so easy. Only one thing I changed. I used the salt free Chicken soup (Campbells) to reduce the sodium.(High blood pressure!) You will not notice the difference in taste. Mmm MM good..

Melissa Laperuta says
I make this all the time we absolutely love it

Love to hear that!
SandyA says
I made this with 4 thin sliced boneless pork chops and added sliced onions to the bottom of the crock, all other ingredients as in recipe. These were delicious! Served over mashed potatoes and my 10yo grandson loved this dinner! He wants me to make it again. I think it would be really good with chicken also. It’s a keeper.
Karly Campbell says
Ooh, I bet it was delicious with the layer of onions. And yes, I can confirm it’s great with chicken – we shred it up after and put it over mashed potatoes for a chicken and gravy sort of situation. 🙂
BethC. says
Sandya, did you adjust the cooking time when using thin sliced, boneless chops?
Sandy Alyabari says
BethC, I honestly can’t remember for certain, but I an pretty sure that they were done after 4 hours on low. If you try them, I would check them after that. Remember, I only used 4 thin sliced chops in a large crockpot and times can vary with different brand crockpots. I hope yours turn out as well as mine did!
Matt says
Looks delicious!!! Is there a change in cooking time if I substitute boneless instead of bone-in?
Karly Campbell says
It’ll depend more on how thick your pork chops are than if there is a bone or not. We do boneless center cut pork chops for around 3-4 hours on low and they’re perfectly tender.
Lorali says
This is a new favorite that we’ll make again and again!
Sharon johnson says
Im just cooking now but my chops were frozen. I’m going for the whole 6 hours on high. Think that will do it? Didn’t plan well enough
Karly Campbell says
Hi Sharon! I’m not sure – I’d be worried about the gravy burning around the edges of the crockpot for that long on high, but it may work fine. Haven’t tried it myself.
Dave says
Delish! Followed the recipe and it was awesome! The pork chops were so tender and the gravy was delicious! Definitely a keeper!
Karly Campbell says
I’m so glad you liked the recipe! Thanks, Dave! Really appreciate the review. 🙂
Claire Cram says
My husband and I loved it it was delicious
Karly Campbell says
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks, Claire!
Julie says
Can I brown the pork chops first? Would it make a difference in cook time?
Karly Campbell says
You can definitely brown them first! It’ll reduce the cook time a bit, but just keep an eye on them and pull them out when they’re done. 🙂
