Crock Pot Smothered Pork Chops are a comforting and hearty dish featuring tender pork chops slow-cooked in a rich, savory gravy with mushrooms and onions. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for busy days when you want a satisfying meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 boneless or bone-in pork chops (approximately ¾ inch thick)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Layer Ingredients: Place the pork chops at the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the pork chops. Layer the sliced onions and mushrooms on top.

  3. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. Add Sauce to Slow Cooker: Pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops and vegetables, ensuring everything is well covered.

  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 145°F).

  6. Optional – Thicken the Gravy: If you prefer a thicker gravy, about 30 minutes before serving, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker, set to high, and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes until the gravy has thickened.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the smothered pork chops over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to soak up the delicious gravy. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can sear the pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned on both sides before placing them in the slow cooker.

  • Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other seasonings or substituting the cream soups with homemade versions if preferred.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
