Crock Pot Pork Chops
There is no better way to ensure that a pork chop stays juicy and tender than by cooking it low and slow in the crock pot! This is an especially important method to use for thin or boneless pork chops, as those are more prone to becoming dry.
And just wait until you taste this gravy. It has the best home cooked flavor, (I am pretty savvy when it comes to gravy making). Lucky for us, there is plenty of it to go around in this recipe!
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Pat pork chops completely dry and season each side with pork seasoning mixture. Add to the crock pot.
Combine chicken broth, beef bouillon, cream of mushroom soup, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Add it to the crock pot, covering the pork chops. Top with sliced onions.
Cook on low for 3-6 hours, amount of time depends on thickness of the pork chop. (Mine pictured here were done in 3 hours, they were about 1/4-inch thick.)
Remove pork chops and set aside. Transfer the liquid from the Crock Pot to a large measuring cup with a spout.
Melt butter in a large skillet or place the crock insert on the stove if it’s stovetop safe. Whisk in the flour. Stir continuously for 2 minutes. Add the crock pot liquid in small splashes, stirring continuously.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the pork chops back and spoon the gravy on top, or transfer the pork chops to serving plates and serve with gravy on the side.
Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

Crock Pot Pork Chops
Ingredients
Pork Seasoning
- ½ tsp each: dried rosemary, oregano, and thyme
- ¼ tsp ground sage
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Pork Chops/Gravy
- 4-6 pork chops, see notes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 10.5 oz. cream of mushroom soup
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2-3 drops Kitchen Bouquet, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Pork Chops
- Pat the pork chops completely dry. Combine pork seasoning mixture and sprinkle it over the top and bottom of the pork chops. Add them to the crock pot.
- Combine the chicken broth, beef bouillon cube, cream of mushroom soup, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Add it to the crock pot, covering the pork chops. Top with sliced onions.
- Cook on low for 3-6 hours. Very thin pork chops will only need 3, very thick will need up to 6. They are done when the internal temperature is 145 degrees.
Make the Gravy
- Carefully remove the pork chops and transfer them to a plate. Tent with foil. Transfer the liquid from the crock pot to a large measuring cup with a spout. (If possible, run the liquid through a fine mesh strainer for silky smooth gravy.) The onions can be reserved and added to the gravy or served on the side.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. (If your crock is stovetop safe you can prepare the gravy in that.) Ensure that there is plenty of surface area in the vessel that you’re using, this ensures the gravy is nice and thick.
- Whisk in the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes, until the flour smell is gone and it begins to brown.
- Add the liquid from the crock pot in small splashes, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until desired thickness is obtained. Add 2-3 drops of kitchen bouquet browning and seasoning sauce if a darker color is preferred.
- You can add the pork chops back to gravy and spoon the gravy on top, or transfer the pork chops to serving plates and serve with gravy on the side.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

OMG I just made this tonight and it was wonderful! I was almost going to skip making the gravy after the pork was done in the crockpot, but I am glad I made it. It was so flavorful!
I will note I did this with bone-in pork chops and they were so tender they fell apart so I had to warn my spouse to watch for a possible bone when eating.
Very flavorful, rich gravy, and fork tender pork.
Hey Dianne! I’m so glad that you ended up deciding to make the gravy, it’s the best gravy I’ve ever had I want to say, I just love it! You’re right about the pork, it’s definitely fall off the bone tender. Thank you so much for the review, I appreciate you so much! -Stephanie 🙂
Can I add fresh sliced mushrooms? If so, at what step can I incorporate?
Hi Jami! My favorite way would be to sauté them on the side in some butter, sprinkling with a little salt halfway through, and then stir them in at the end of cooking. That’ll give you the best texture and flavor. But if you’d like to instead add them to the crock pot, you can just do so right at the beginning and let them cook right in the sauce, they’ll be delicious that way too!
Is there something I can sub for the wine in this recipe?
Hi Tabitha! Typically you can sub chicken broth out for wine in many of my recipes, but this particular recipe doesn’t call for wine! 🙂
Hello Steph it’s your number one fan. I tell everybody that will listen about you and your wonderful recipes. I made these pork chops tonight and I couldn’t eat them fast enough everything was really good the gravy was fantastic the pork chops flavored was so much better than what I used to make. You’re still on that pedestal.
