  • pork chops - in the recipe I use bone-in pork chops, but boneless pork chops or pork loin chops are great as well.
  • can of cream of mushroom soup - you can substitute with cream of chicken or celery, golden mushroom soup is also delicious!
  • chicken stock - or bullion, use whichever you have on hand.
  • canned mushrooms - something about mushrooms, I can never get enough!
  • ranch dressing mix - you know, the powdered stuff. It's such a great flavor shortcut.
  • cornstarch - this part is optional, but the sauce is so delicious, why not thicken it a bit and turn it into a gravy for your evening meal?!!

  1. Spray the crockpot vessel with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Start by making the sauce. In a large mixing bowl, add the mushroom soup, mushrooms, chicken broth and ranch seasoning mix. Whisk to combine.
  3. Place pork chops in slow cooker.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the top of the pork chops.
  5. Cover and set the cooker to low heat, cook for 7-8 hours.
  6. Remove the meat, tent with foil to keep warm and set aside.
  7. Mix the thickener and add it to the soup.

FAQ's

What keeps them from being dry?

Pork chops are famous for getting dry. That's not we're looking for! Moist and tender using the slow cooker helps eliminate drying them out. Bone-in pork chops will have more flavor and be juicier. Don't forget to let the meat rest.

Thick cut or thin cut chops?

Thick-cut pork chops are best for this recipe.

Gravy or no gravy?

That's up to you. Thickening is of course optional, but all that lovely gravy shouldn't go to waste (but to waist, right?!!! 😋)! It only takes a few minutes to make with so little effort. Plus it's delicious!

What is the best way to thicken gravy?

Add one tablespoon of corn starch to one tablespoon cold water. Whisk until smooth. Pour into the crockpot and stir to combine. Cook for 10 additional minutes to thicken.

Tips

There are several different cuts that will work with this recipe. I used bone-in, but use your favorite or use what you have on hand!

  • shoulder or blade chop - Sometimes called a blade steak, it has great flavor, but it is tough. Slow cooked or braised is the best method of cooking.
  • rib or center-cut chop - super lean and great for slow cooking.
  • center cut - more expensive, but super tender and very lean.
  • boneless chop - super tasty and very lean.
  • sirloin chop - a tougher cut of meat great for braising or the slow cooker.

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow them to come to room temperature. They will be less likely to get dry.

For best results allow the chops to rest for 10-15 minutes. Remove the meat from the slow cooker, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest.

Variations

If you want a complete meal, add baby potatoes and peeled carrots to the slow cooker. Layer the pork chops on next and top with the sauce. Cook as directed.

  • No mushrooms soup? No problem, you can also use cream of chicken soup.
  • If you'd prefer substitute dry onion soup mix for the ranch mix.
  • Adding 3 ounces of cream cheese to the mixture as it cooks adds a wonderful tangy flavor to the gravy.
  • To add even more flavor brown pork chops before adding to the slow cooker.

Storage

Refrigerate - Allow leftovers to cool completely. Store in an airtight container 3-4 days.

Freezer - This easy crock pot pork chops recipe is one of my favorite freezer meals! Freeze - in an airtight container, covered with gravy up to three months.

Reheat - thaw overnight in the refrigerator. It's easily reheated in the microwave, oven or on the stovetop, enjoy!

    The recipe says to set to Low, then cook on High for 7-8 hours? I'm confused... which setting do I use?

    Deb,

    Great looking meal. What brand of crock pot do you recommend? Is there any difference among brands? My old one just died.
    Thanks,
    Don

      Thanks Don! Regarding the crock pot....because I'm new to the "crock-pot" world, I can't say I'm an expert, but here's what I did. The brand is Crock-Pot & I purchased mine from Target - it was about $25 bucks - wasn't the cheapest ($19) and they sure had some that were lots more expensive. The expensive brands had some bells and whistles on it - I'm not interested in that. I've used it several times now and believe it's $'s well spent. Hope that helps!
