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.

I make it the same way but with cream of mushroom soup.
Paul Gaddie says
WOW…I normally don’t layer meat on top of anything, but this was pretty and I decided to do that. This turned out GREAT! I would have taken a picture, but my wife was hungry and I took it to the table after I plted it…I did give it a healthy shot of parsley and a little rosemary…It was rrelatively ceap to make…Less than $10 to feed both of us…

I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks, Paul!
Mary Ann Campbell says
Sounds really yummy! Can it be halved?
Karly Campbell says
Yep, should be fine to cut this in half. Use a smaller slow cooker if you have one.
Dave says
This was so simple and so delish! I used cream of mushroom and 3 thin cut, bone in chops. My Wife suggested using half a packet of onion soup mix. She thought it might be too salty using a whole package. We agreed that a whole packet would be fine next time.
cristelle wertelka says
I use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken and a small of milk.
Deanna says
This recipe is now in our rotation. It’s flavorful and just the right amount of salty (I did use lower-sodium chicken broth) The chops were moist and tender (they were fork tender). I served it with rice and mixed veg.
Karly Campbell says
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks, Deana! 🙂
June Leathers says
This looks so good but I can’t believe how much sodium is in this receipe. There is a cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup that has no salt added by campbell soup and there is an onion soup mix with no salt by Marshall’s Creek Spices and there is an unsalted Beef Broth by Swanson’s that is very low sodium. Using these products would cut way down on the sodium in this receipe. I’m on a low sodium no salt added diet because of my heart so this would cut way down from the 2049 mg of sodium in this receipe. There are a lot of people that would love to eat your receipes but can’t eat some of them because of the high sodium. Sorry to leave a negative comment.
Karly says
Hi June! You’re welcome to make the changes you’ve described to cut down on sodium. We don’t really cater to special diets on this site, but there’s almost always a way for people to make adjustments to fit whatever type of diet they follow. Glad you figured this one out. 🙂
Heather L says
Can I please have a recipe to make my own “ Cream of…” soups because my husband’s heart failure does not work with canned soups. I have written to Campbell’s and asked them to produce NAS ( no added salt) versions of at least a few old favorites. No response. Can you please help! Thank you!
Karly says
Hi Heather!
Yes! We love using homemade cream soups! Here’s our chicken version: https://www.bunsinmyoven.com/cream-of-chicken-soup-substitute/ and here’s our mushroom soup version: https://www.bunsinmyoven.com/cream-of-mushroom-soup-substitute/
Hope that helps!
Jennifer says
I have 9 boneless pork chops that need cooked today. Just wondering if I make this, could I freeze half of the pork chops, and maybe some of the sauce, if there’s enough. Not planning on doubling it, but should I?
Karly says
Hi Jennifer! I would double the sauce if you’re wanting the gravy over each pork chop and for mashed potatoes or noodles. Otherwise, it’ll probably be fine, but won’t be nearly as flavorful. Not sure how well they’ll freeze.
Heather says
I love this recipe. I serve mine over rice with yeast rolls green beans and shells in cheese. So delicious ?
Karly says
Sounds like a delicious dinner!

GREAT
Rebecca Flores says
what if i don’t have onion soup mix what can replace that?
Karly says
Another type of seasoning would likely work, but we’ve only made this as directed.
Darlene says
Did you end up making this? How did it turn out? I was just Looking at this and I don’t have onion soup mix and there is a ? percent chance that I am NOT getting my butt off this couch to go to the store to get some onion soup mix-lol.
Marilyn Acord says
Is it okay to use boneless pork loin chops instead?
Karly says
Should be fine! If they’re thinner, just cook less time. 🙂
MZH says
Don’t be lazy and buy cream of mushroom soup. Instead, add fresh mushrooms the last hour or two of cooking.
Teresa says
What if you don’t have chicken broth. what else can you put as a substitute for it?
Karly says
You could just use water and add additional seasoning.
