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!
Up until about 3 months ago, I didn’t know what smothered pork chops were. How lame is that?
I assumed they were full of mushrooms (and sometimes they totally are!), so I avoided them like the plague.
You guys didn’t know I was a mushroom hater, did you?
I really want to like them. Honestly, I’m fairly certain that they even taste good – it’s just…I wouldn’t know. It’s a mind thing for me. Not a flavor thing.
Like, they’re fungus? And that’s a big ol’ no as far as I’m concerned.
Before you ask, yes, that also means blue cheese is out. Like, super out. No no no. Just no.
But, here’s the good news: I’m the boss of my life and that means I can make easy crock pot pork chops smothered in goodness without mushrooms. Being an adult is awesome.
This smothered pork chops recipe is legit simple. The gravy makes itself right in the slow cooker with the pork chops so you basically just dump everything in there and then go live your life. I love recipes like that.
How to make crock pot pork chops:
Are you ready for this simple 5 ingredient recipe?
All you’ll need is some bone-in pork chops, some onion soup mix, a couple cans of cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and a little garlic. If you want mushrooms, feel free to add some in OR use cream of mushroom soup.
Mix together the cream of chicken soup with the onion soup mix, broth, and garlic.
Spread that mixture into the bottom of a slow cooker.
Pop your pork chops right on top and flip them around to coat them in the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for about 3 hours or low for about 6 hours.
When the pork chops are cooked through, remove them from the slow cooker and then whisk together the gravy to bring it all together.
Spoon the gravy over the pork chops and dig in!
What to serve with crockpot pork chops:
These are amazing with my buttered egg noodles (my kids beg for those noodles!) or some mashed potatoes (I normally cheat and use Bob Evan’s refrigerated mashed potatoes, because they’re sooooo good).
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.

Don’t be lazy and buy cream of mushroom soup. Instead, add fresh mushrooms the last hour or two of cooking.

What if you don’t have chicken broth. what else can you put as a substitute for it?

You could just use water and add additional seasoning.
