How to Make Smothered Pork Chops in the Crock Pot
Step 1 – First, put the pork chops in the crock pot. Place the mushrooms and onion all over the pork. This is going to give it so much amazing flavor.
Step 2 – Second, get a mixing bowl and mix the cream of chicken and cream of mushroom together with the broth and seasonings to make the brown gravy. I like to use a whisk to make sure everything is mixed well.
Step 3 – Next, pour the liquid into the crock pot.
Step 4 – Finally, cover the crock pot and cook the pork chops on low for 6-8 hours. You can also cook on high if you prefer for 3-4 hours. The pork needs to have an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Pork Chops will come out golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Recipe Notes
- Crock Pot Recommendation – Most of my recipes are created in a 6 quart crock pot, but I love my 4 quart crock pot for small dishes. Now, if you work away from home, then I suggest you get a programmable crock pot so you can have it cook for the perfect amount of time.
- Crockpot liners – So handy and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Pork Chops – You can use bone in pork chops instead of boneless. I like to use what is on sale or already in the freezer. I would not use the thin pork chops as they will fall apart when serving. We like using the thick pork chops as the meat comes out fork tender.
- Cook Time – Cook time will vary depending on the size of the pork chops and your crock pot. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked with an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
- Mushroom Gravy – For an even creamier sauce, you can add in heavy cream.
- Seasoning – An onion soup mix packet is full of flavor and can be added in place of chopped onion or onion powder if you have it. You can also add in fresh herbs such as fresh thyme or fresh parsley.
- Broth – Instead of beef broth you can also use chicken broth or chicken stock.

Serving Suggestions
- Mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles. The rich onion gravy is amazing so you will want something to spoon it over.
- Vegetables- We like to steam broccoli in the microwave. The kids spoon the sauce over it and gobble it up! The sauce is that amazing. Roasted green beans or brussels sprouts are also really delicious.
- Bread- Grab rolls from the bakery or make these easy dinner rolls. The sauce is so amazing that you will want something to cip into it.

We love to hear from you. If you make this smothered pork chops slow cooker recipe, please leave us a comment or a star review.
I’ve made this before my name experienced to try pork chops. I have a 6 quart crockpot and I am going to share these for two minutes on each side so I’m thinking maybe I should only slow cook it on low for about four hours? Any input is welcome. Making this tomorrow and that would be Sunday for me in Texas. Thank you!
Ann – Sorry for the late response but depending on the thickness of your pork chops, I think that they would only need 3-4 hours in the crock pot on low once browned. I hope they turned out well!
I’m making this recipe again today due to the outside temps and for only 1-2 people using only 2 pork chops in my 3-qt. crockpot. I always prefer using and frying/browning bone-in pork chops to develop the added flavor, remove and place them in the crockpot with the sliced onions on top. Then add the beef or chicken stock/broth to the pan to deglaze the deliciousness on the bottom of the pan only using about half of what is called for in this recipe to create a thicker gravy, with no thickeners needed. Next, I add the cream of mushroom soup, spices, and gently combine the sauce until well incorporated then pour it over the chops & onions in the crockpot. It takes a few minutes more to fry bone-in chops, but to me it is well worth the added flavor with juices they provide. Alternately, you can also use boneless pork loin ribs, which are cut from the pork shoulder and do not dry out like pork loin chops. They are seriously the most forgiving pork cut to make in recipes, or simply if making boneless pork ribs.
Thank you so much Connie for sharing and for the positive review! Then addition of frying the pork chops before adding them to the crock pot sounds delicious. I’m going to have to try that next time I make this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!
