Why You'll Love the Pork Chops

• TENDER AND JUICY MEAT - Caramelized and slow-cooked to perfection, these pork chops are consistently moist, delicious, and smothered in a delectable sauce.
• MINIMAL RECIPE PREP- With a few simple steps of prep, you'll get an amazing dinner everyone around the table will love.
• OH, THE GRAVY - Let's not forget the rich, mushroom-onion gravy that slow cooks next to them, which is terrific over potatoes or pasta. 

Ingredient Notes

Here's what you'll need for crockpot pork chops and gravy (with cream of mushroom soup).

• Pork Chops - thick, bone-in pork chops are the best.

Sauce/Gravy Ingredients

The creamy gravy is the best!

• Paprika - a mild spice that adds just the right amount of flavor.
• Garlic Powder - gives the recipe a nice savory flavor.
• Onion Powder - just a little for added flavor.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil - for searing your meat.
• Onion - sliced thin.
• Mushrooms - give the recipe its rich, savory mushroom gravy. If you aren’t a mushroom fan, you can leave them out and use the cream of mushroom soup. However, since they’re slow-cooked, the mushrooms become very mild, so worth giving them a try. You can also try cream of chicken soup.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup - condensed soup gives the recipe a nice creamy texture.
• Cream of Chicken Soup - added flavor for the gravy.
• Beef Broth - perfect for making the gravy. In a pinch, you can substitute chicken broth for beef broth. 
• Dried Parsley - an herb that adds depth of flavor.
• Salt & Pepper

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 do not see 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. 

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1 - Sear Meat. First, preheat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Then, season the 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 (sauce). Next, remove the pork from the pan, add beef broth and soups to the pan, and use a whisk or spatula to release any pan's brown bits. Then, add the dried parsley and stir to combine the mixture.

Step 3 - Place All Ingredients in the Slow Cooker. Put the onions and mushrooms in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place pork chops over the mixture, and then pour the soup mixture over the top.

Finally, COOK. turn the slow cooker to low, then cover and cook for 6-7 hours or until the pork is tender. Serve over rice, potatoes, or noodles, and enjoy!

Tips & Recipe Notes

• Low and slow is the best way to cook this slow cooker pork chops recipe. 
• A thick-cut, bone-in chop with a bit of marbling will yield the best result.
• If you're not a fan of cream of mushroom soup, use only cream of chicken soup. We like the low-sodium versions.
• Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• We use a 6-quart crockpot to make the recipe.

How do you keep them from drying out?

There are a few things you can do to keep your pork chops from drying out in the slow cooker.

1. Make sure you use thick-cut, bone-in pork chops.
2. Sear both sides to lock in the natural juices.
3. Watch your pork chops closely the first time you cook them in your slow cooker. Each crock pot cooks differently. This way, you'll know the optimal cooking time and never overcook them. Use a meat thermometer to determine when they're done.

What to do With Leftovers

If you have any leftover slow cooker pork chops, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat, place chops and sauce in a skillet and add a little milk to thin the gravy, and heat to the desired temperature.
