Crock Pot smothered pork chops are a family favorite and this recipe is especially easy because it uses the crock pot. Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a delicious dinner the whole family will love!
Summer is here and that means I’m making loads of crockpot recipes – weird, right?
Most people think of the crockpot as a winter tool, but I love it in the summer when I don’t want to heat up the whole kitchen and we’re out running around all day!
These crockpot smothered pork chops are one of those recipes that I make on repeat. It’s beyond simple, just like my crockpot ranch pork chops, but seriously just always a big hit!
I serve these over our Amish egg noodles or some Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes! These are also tasty served with our rice pilaf.
This smothered pork chops recipe is legit simple. The gravy makes itself right in the slow cooker with the pork chops so you basically just dump everything in there and then go live your life. I love recipes like that and I bet you do too!

“This recipe…. is… AMAZING!!!!! I cannot stop eating it! The noodles topped with the pork chops and gravy is fire! So so good!” – Sarah
How To Make Smothered Pork Chops Recipe:
Mix: Combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic, and onion soup mix in the bottom of your slow cooker and give it a good stir.
Pork: Pop your pork chops right on top and flip them around to coat them in the sauce.
Cook: Cover and cook on high for about 3 hours or low for about 6 hours. You want the pork chops nice and tender – we like to be able to cut ours with a fork! So good!
Whisk: Remove the pork chops to a plate and then whisk together the gravy. It will have separated a bit as it cooks, but it comes right back together when whisked.
Serve: Place your pork chops over a pile of mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice and spoon that gravy over the top. It’s time to dig in!
What to serve with crockpot pork chops:
My green beans and bacon recipe is always a hit.
These roasted vegetables go with everything.
For dessert, I suggest my brownies or blackberry cobbler.

If sodium is high add potatoes, will bring down the sodium

This is my granddaughter’s favorite dinner

Love to hear that! Thanks, Caryn!

I followed the directions to cook on high for 3 hours, and the pork chops were tough—might have worked better with the “lower and slower” instructions but I didn’t have time for that today.
Karly says
Hi John! If your pork chops were tough, they weren’t cooked long enough. All slow cookers cook differently – some run hotter than others, so you have to adjust the cook times a bit to fit your own. It would also vary a bit depending on how thick your chops were. Either way, if meat is coming out of the slow cooker tough, it just needs more time in there.
Eden says
I need to ask….someone else asked this and got no answer. If cream of chicken soup is condensed…so I had a can of milk or water? It seems like alot of fluid. I added 22oz of soup condensed with one can of milk to 3lb of pork chops. Is that correct?
Karly says
Hi Eden! You just add the soup, don’t add any extra liquid.
MZH says
I do add chicken stock 1-1 ratio. It comes out fine and adds more liquid to cover the chops in the pot. If the resulting gravy is too thin after cooking, just whisk in some cornstarch before serving.
Sandra L. Bilsky says
I made these with homemade noodles! Oh So Good!
Em says
Can I use thin cut bone in chops? That’s what was on sale today. If so, what would he difference in the cooking time be you think
Karly says
Hi Em! I think that would work fine, but they’ll probably take less time. I’m not sure how long, I’d just keep an eye on them and when they’re nice and tender, they should be good to go. 🙂
marion hatcher says

Shaniece says
Hi I just bought the ingredients and will be making today….I wanted to know can I a add pork gravy pack to make my gravy thicker or will that be to much?
Karly says
I haven’t tried it, so I really can’t say how it’d turn out. Maybe add more broth if you do so.
Peggy says
I thought about smothered pork chops too late, and then found your recipe and thought this should be easy enough. But then like I always do, I started with the recipe, and then, started adding stuff (usually based on what I have in the refrigerator). First, I used a large can of cream of chicken soup, so I decided to use up the extra soup in the crock pot with cut potatoes. So, I threw a bunch of them in (didn’t have egg noodles; I used them the other night). I tasted the sauce and it was a little salty, so I decided it needed a “kick” and added some Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce. Then it was too hot to notice the salt! Then I read some of the reviews about mushrooms (all I had was cream of mushroom soup and I didn’t need that with cream of chicken soup, but mushrooms would have been good). But then someone mentioned celery. Well, I had two whole heads of celery and don’t eat it raw (or cooked), so I cut up a bunch of celery and threw it in. It’s cooking now. I’ll let you know if I screwed up your recipe (but I got rid of a lot of extra celery :}) P. S., I may need to add water or chicken broth…the crock pot is pretty full.
Jennifer says
Another great recipe! Second one I have tried. It keeps really well. I know it says only 3 hours but I put my stuff in when I go to bed so it is ready in the morning and there is was all beautiful in the morning. Thanks!
Karly says
So glad it was a hit! 🙂
Alicia says
Recipe is amazing! Flavor is amazing! But don’t use bone in pork chops.
Boneless will be just as good.
Denee says
My pork chops are in the crockpot now! I browned boneless chops first, used one can cream of chicken with one can of milk in addition to the onion soup mix and fresh garlic. Using milk instead of chicken broth reduces sodium. Smells soon good!
Annette Modisette says
Other ideas:
Substitute brown gravy mix for the onion soup mix
Substitute cream of celery soup for the cream of chicken soup (less salty taste)
Add one package of ranch seasoning dry mix.
Also no need to double above suggestions to double the amount of pork chops! Cream of celery condensed soup is amazing with any kind of smothered pork!
Amy Chesney says
I love the sound of this recipe but my head is already screaming about the migraine from all the MSG. I used to make something similar for my daughter but she has migraines now too.
Do you have any suggestions for substitutes for the cream soup and the onion soup mix?
Thanks
Karly says
You can use my recipe for cream of chicken soup. I don’t have a recipe for onion soup mix, but there are plenty out there that you could sub in. 🙂
