Tips for Selecting the Best Pork Chop

To produce a tender and juicy dinner, the cuts of meat you use in this recipe do matter.

We have tried many different cuts and found the following tips to be helpful when selecting your meat:

• A thicker bone-in chop will yield the best results when it comes to a moist dinner. 
• Look for a blade chop, shoulder chop, or sirloin chop at the store. Ask the meat counter if you’re not seeing what you want. 
• You are looking for a chop with a little fat and generous marbling throughout, as this will keep the meat tender and juicy.

Tip: don’t use a leaner cut pork chop as you will not get the same tender results. 

How to Cook Slow Cooker Pork Chop and Gravy

Step 1 – Sear Meat

First, preheat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Then, season pork chops with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Place pork in pan and brown (sear) on all sides. About 3 minutes per side.

Step 2 – Make Gravy Mixture

Next, remove pork from pan, add beef broth, and soups to the pan and use a whisk or spatula to release any brown bits in the pan. Then, add the dried parsley and stir to combine the mixture.

Step 3 – Place All Ingredients in Slow Cooker

Put onion and mushrooms in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place pork chops over mixture and then pour the soup mixture over the top.

Finally, turn slow cooker to low and cook for 7-8 hours or until pork is tender. Serve over rice, potatoes or noodles and enjoy!

Tips for Cooking Slow Cooker Pork Chops

• Low and slow is the best way to cook this recipe. 
• A bone-in chop with a bit of marbling will yield the best end result.
• If you aren’t a fan of mushrooms, you can leave them out and just use the cream of mushroom soup. However, since they’re slow-cooked, the mushrooms turn out very mild, so worth giving them a try.
• In a pinch, you can substitute chicken broth for the beef broth. 
• We use a 6-quart crockpot to make the recipe.

Should You Brown Pork Chops Before Slow Cooking?

This is a great question we get asked a lot. In general, you don’t need to brown your meat before slow cooking. However, it adds a much deeper, richer flavor once it’s caramelized, so we recommend it—especially with this pork chop recipe. 

Can You Stack Pork Chops in a Slow Cooker?

Once your pork chops are seared, you can overlap them in your slow cooker. However, we don’t recommend stacking them on top of each other for the best cooking results.

Can You Put Raw Pork in a Slow Cooker?

You can put raw pork in your slow cooker, however, for a deeper, richer flavor, we recommend browning all sides first on the stovetop. It totally makes a difference! 

How to Serve with Crock Pot Pork Chops

There are many ways you can serve your pork chops for a hearty dinner:

• With mashed potatoes.
• Over pasta such as macaroni or egg noddles.
• With brown rice or white rice.
• Over zucchini noodles for a healthier option.

The recipe is great with steamed or roasted vegetables.
