Crockpot Pork Chops with 4 Simple Ingredients
These Crockpot Pork Chops are incredibly easy to prepare. Just add the pork chops and a handful of simple ingredients to the slow cooker, let everything cook low and slow, and you’ll have tender, flavorful pork chops with a delicious savory sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray or a little butter.
2. Add the Pork Chops
Place the raw pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer if possible.
Season lightly with black pepper. The onion soup mix already contains salt, so additional salt usually isn’t necessary.
3. Make the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth until smooth.
Stir in the dry onion soup mix.
Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
4. Slow Cook
Cover the crockpot with the lid.
Cook on:
- LOW for 4–6 hours, or
- HIGH for about 2–3 hours
Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the pork chops and your slow cooker.
For food safety, check the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer and make sure the pork reaches 145°F (63°C), followed by a 3-minute rest.
5. Rest and Serve
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork chops and let them rest for a few minutes.
Stir the creamy sauce in the crockpot and spoon it generously over the pork.
What to Serve With It
These pork chops are delicious with:
- Creamy mashed potatoes
- Buttered noodles
- White or brown rice
- Roasted carrots
- Green beans
- Steamed broccoli
- Corn
- Dinner rolls
Tips for Tender Pork Chops
Choose thicker chops: Thin pork chops can dry out more quickly during slow cooking.
Don’t overcook: A thermometer is the best way to prevent dry pork.
Don’t add extra salt: The onion soup mix and canned soup can already be quite salty.
Let them rest: A short resting period helps keep the pork juicy.
Want mushrooms? Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms during the last couple of hours for even more flavor.
Easy Variation
For a sweeter version, whisk 1 tablespoon honey into the sauce before pouring it over the pork chops.
For extra garlic flavor, add 2 minced garlic cloves.
Tender pork chops, creamy mushroom-onion gravy, and almost no hands-on preparation—this is the kind of easy crockpot dinner that makes busy evenings feel effortless.
