How to Make Crockpot Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy
Season & Sear the Pork Chops:
• Season chops with salt and pepper, then brown both sides in a skillet with olive oil.
• Place browned pork chops into the slow cooker.
Sauté the onions (optional):
• While your skillet is still hot, quickly sauté the onion for extra flavor (or just add them raw if you’re short on time).
Make the gravy:
• While the chops are browning, in a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
• Then whisk in the beef broth until smooth.
• Add the onion and mushrooms to the slow cooker.
• Pour the gravy mixture over the pork chops, mushrooms, and onions.
Slow cook:
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, stirring once if you can.
Serve:
• Stir the gravy, then spoon it generously over the chops. This is delicious over mashed potatoes, white rice, or biscuits!
Tips for Tender Pork Chops in Mushroom Sauce
• Use Thick, Bone-in Pork Chops – they hold up better to long cooking.
• Don’t Skip the Searing – Browning the meat adds flavor and keeps the texture juicy.
• Homemade Soup? If you have the time, a homemade cream of mushroom soup helps you control the ingredients and reduce sodium.
• Want Extra Richness? Add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream at the end of cooking.

What people are asking About this crock pot Pork Chop Recipe:
- Can I use boneless pork chops?

Absolutely. Just make sure they’re thick enough to withstand the long cook time. - Can I double this recipe?

Has anyone made this with boneless pork chops? Did you have to adjust cooking time?
For boneless pork chops, they’ll usually cook a little faster than bone-in. I recommend checking them around the 4-hour mark on Low (or about 2 hours on High), since they can dry out more quickly. You’ll want them tender but not overcooked.
Great recipe for pork chops but I cut it in 2 as there is only me. Thanks for posting.
I’m happy it worked for you! I have a small crock pot that I use for when I’m cooking just for myself, so I understand!
My favorite way to eat pork chops!
I’ve tried cooking pork chops many different ways and they always come out tough and dry … until now!! This recipe was SO easy, SO tender and SO good! It was such a hit with my family, it’s a new regular on our menu.
That’s amazing to know! My ultimate goal is that you enjoy the meal, and are happy with the recipe you worked to reproduce.
My fanily loved the pork chops. They are on the regular list now!
Made yesterday , it’s so hot here in Md. I’m a senior and this was easy and very good and have enough for another meal. Made it with cans of soup because I had but from now on will make the homemade. Thanks so much for this needed recipe.
Diane, I am so glad this recipe worked for you! And hey, I use canned soup in a pinch, too! Take care!
Allergic to mushrooms. Is there a swap you’d recommend for them?
You can omit the mushrooms, and swap the mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cream of celery soup instead. Either one will still give you a creamy, flavorful gravy (I do prefer the chicken, and I have a recipe for it if you don’t want to use the canned). You could also add some chopped carrots for extra flavor and a little sweetness. That should work nicely!
