Pork Chop Ingredients

This recipe is heavy on spices that will add great savory flavor.

Pork Chops – I like the thick bone in style with a little bit of fat
Spices - Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
Parsley - optional, but I like it for color
Olive Oil
Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
Beef broth
Mushrooms (I used white mushrooms)
Yellow onion

Cooking Tip – It’s easy to overcook pork chops, especially if they are thin-cut pork chops, so for this recipe, splurge and buy a thicker chop that is ¾ to 1 inch with a little bit of marbling.

If you can only buy boneless chops, make sure they are thick and watch the cooking time since they will cook faster than the bone-in chops.

How To Cook Smothered Crock Pot Pork Chops

There are two cooking steps for this recipe

Frying the pork chops to get a nice golden brown sear on them.
Finishing with low and slow cooking in the crockpot will make these thick-cut pork chops nice and tender.

Step 1 In a small bowl, mix all of the seasonings.

Step 2. Clean the mushrooms and slice and then slice the onion.

Step 3. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Pat the pork dry with paper towels to remove any moisture, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides.

Step 4. Add the chops to the hot skillet and sear on each side for three minutes, then remove from the pan to a plate. You may have to fry the chops in batches.

Step 5. Place the mushrooms and onions in the bottom of the crockpot/slow cooker, then place the seared pork chops on top.

Step 6. Add both cans of soup and beef broth to the skillet, then whisk until a sauce develops. Add the leftover seasonings to the sauce.

Sauce tips – When making the sauce, always scrape any brown bits on the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

If you prefer, you can bake these pork chops in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes. Cover the pan for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for 15 more minutes.

Serving suggestions

While these slow cooker pork chops are cooking, make a batch of creamy mashed potatoes, Ham and Green Beans, and these Easy Biscuits. This is the ultimate homestyle meal that will make your family happy.

You can also try this Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with tender pork chunks or our favorite Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken. Both are warm and comforting recipes.

Cooking times & temperature

Cooking times vary depending on your crock pot, the thickness of the pork chops, and if they are bone-in chops or boneless.

It's best to check the chops near the end of the cooking time to see if they are tender; you may have to adjust for more or less cooking depending on the tenderness.

Bone-In Pork Chops: Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
Boneless Pork Chops: Cook on low for 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours.

It's always best to check the internal temperature of meats, and pork chops should reach 145 degrees F. I use this thermo-pen to get an instant temperature.

FAQ's

Do I need to sear the pork chops first?

I prefer precooking the pork chops which helps them retain moisture and adds a golden brown color and extra flavoring from frying.

Can raw pork chops be added to the crockpot?

It is ok to use raw pork chops, they just will not have the depth of flavor as seared chops.

Can I cook these smothered pork chops on high?

For best results, these thick pork chops need to cook on the low heat setting so they stay tender and juicy.

Storage

If you have leftover pork chops, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also freeze the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Reheating- Cover the pork chops and gravy in a baking pan with foil. Heat them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated.

Notes

Notes: This recipe does create a lot of gravy which we like so we can serve it over mashed potatoes. You can reduce this by using one can of condensed soup.
