Crock Pot Pork Chops (with gravy)
Description
The Crock Pot Pork Chops with gravy combine seasoned, browned bone-in pork chops layered over sautéed mushrooms and sliced onions in a slow cooker. A soup and broth mixture creates a hearty, creamy liquid base. Cooking on low heat for 7-8 hours allows the pork to become tender and infused with the savory flavors of the mushrooms and onions.
The combination of cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups provides a thick, flavorful gravy with a smooth texture that can be thickened further with a cornstarch slurry if desired. This preparation results in meat that is moist with a balance of earthiness from mushrooms and gentle aromatics from the onions and seasonings.
Serve over rice, potatoes, or noodles to absorb the gravy and make a satisfying meal. The recipe suggests using flavorful pork cuts like blade, shoulder, sirloin, or tenderloin chops for best tenderness.
Practical tips include not adding milk or water to the canned soups and adjusting cooking time for tenderness. For thicker gravy, a slurry of cornstarch and water can be whisked in and cooked for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops about 3 pounds, bone in
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 can
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup 1 can, condensed
- ¾ cup beef broth reduced sodium
- 2 cups mushroom sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Brown pork on each side (about 3 minutes each side).
- Remove pork, add soup and broth to the pan and whisk to release any brown bits in the bottom.
- Place mushrooms and onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with pork and pour the soup mixture over the top.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours or until pork is tender. Thicken sauce with a slurry (see notes) if desired. Serve over rice, potatoes or noodles.
Notes
- Use blade, shoulder, sirloin, or tenderloin pork chops for optimal tenderness; leaner cuts may be less tender.
- Use canned cream soups as-is, without diluting with milk or water.
- If pork chops are not tender after cooking, extend cooking time as needed.
- To thicken gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and whisk into slow cooker, cooking another 5 minutes.
