How long it takes to cook pork chops in a slow cooker can vary widely depending on the heat setting, the amount of meat you're cooking, and any other ingredients that you add to the pot. Some recipes might take 3 hours to cook, while others could take 6 or 7 hours. Pork chops with a thick sauce and veggies in the pot will need a longer cook time than simply cooking pork chops in barbecue sauce, for instance. The size of the Crock-Pot and the temperature used will also drastically change the cooking time of pork chops. If you're worried about the pork chops taking too long to cook, increase the temperature of your slow cooker.

A Crock-Pot is a handy appliance to have at home, but it can take a while to cook. Thankfully, there are so many ways to cook a delicious pork chop. One of the most tried and true ways is to bake them in the oven. Oven-baked pork chops are quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Pork Chops – When cooking crockpot pork chops you want to choose thicker bone in chops. Look for chops that are well marbled with a bit of fat throughout. Leaner cuts will not be as tender. The best pork chops for the crock pot include blade chop, shoulder chop, sirloin chop, or tenderloin chops.

Sauce Ingredients – This recipe makes an easy mushroom gravy sauce.

Condensed Soup – We use condensed soup in this recipe because it holds up well in a crock pot. Fresh dairy can curdle or separate if cooked too long in a slow cooker.
Broth – Regular or low sodium beef broth or stock is the base of the brown gravy. Chicken broth can be substituted but the flavor isn’t quite as rich.
Onions & Mushrooms – Sliced onions and mushrooms add flavor. Use white or brown (cremini) mushrooms, I find brown mushrooms have more flavor. Even canned mushrooms work in a pinch.

Variations include swapping out the seasonings and adding a packet of ranch seasoning.

Important Ingredient Info

For the best tender results, choose blade chop, shoulder chop, sirloin chop, or tenderloin chops.

How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops

It will taste like you’ve been hovering over the stove all day long, but this is really the easiest pork chop recipe.

Sprinkle seasoning over the chops and brown in a skillet. Remove from pan and deglaze the pan with broth and soup, per the recipe below.
Place mushrooms and onions in the bottom of a slow cooker & place pork chops on top.
Pour the sauce mixture over and cover. Cook until tender.

Tips for Tender Slow Cooker Pork Chops

The most tender results come from a bone-in thicker (approx. 3/4″) chop with nice marbling throughout.
For best results, choose thick cut pork chops that have fat and great marbling! Look for a blade chop, shoulder chop, or sirloin chop. Personal favorite is a shoulder chop. Boneless pork chops work too, just ensure they have nice marbling.
Meat that is very lean doesn’t work well in this recipe as it won’t give the same tender results.
Cook the chops low and slow allowing the fats to melt into the meat creating a tender juicy result!
If the chops aren’t tender (and you’ve used one of the recommended types) they likely need more time.

Got Leftovers?

Keep leftover Crockpot pork chops in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions over the stovetop and add a little milk or cream to thin out the sauce.

Leftovers make great freezer meals.

Notes

*The best pork chops for this recipe include blade chop, shoulder chop, sirloin chop, or tenderloin chops. Leaner cuts do work but the results are not as tender.Use the canned soups directly from the can, do not add milk or water. Any type of "cream of" soup will work, the combination in the recipe is our favorite.If your pork chops are not tender they likely need more time.To make a cornstarch slurry combine 1 tablespoon each cornstarch and water. Whisk into the sauce in the slow cooker and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
