How To Make Pork Chops In The Slow Cooker:

Combine soup, dressing mix, garlic, and broth.
Sprinkle chops with pepper. Do not salt them.
Place chops in slow cooker and pour soup mixture over top.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6 hours.

Recipe Substitutions:

If you do not have cream of chicken soup on hand, two of my favorite substitutes are Cream of Mushroom soup or Cream of Potato soup.
If you want to make your own cream of chicken soup, check out this homemade recipe.

Expert Tips:

The secret to slow cooker pork chops is to be sure to not overcook them. Cook the pork chops for 3 hours on high heat or 6 hours on low heat. If your slow cooker tends to cook things fast, check them at 2 hours on high heat or 4-5 hours on low heat to avoid dry tough pork chops.
I would highly recommend getting a simple meat thermometer if you don’t have one. It makes cooking any type of meat so easy and you will always know that it is the perfect temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions for Making Thick-Cut Pork Chops:

What kind of pork chops are best?

When it comes to choosing the best pork chops for this crockpot recipe, I would recommend a thick (¾″ – 1″) boneless pork chop or a bone-in pork chop.
Thin-cut pork chops will not work for this crock pot pork chop recipe and will most likely turn out dry. The low-and-slow method of cooking in this recipe will dry them out every time.
Using a thick boneless pork chop will cook a little faster than a bone-in pork chops, so if you know that your slow cooker cooks hot or fast, you may want to decrease the time a little bit.

Can you use frozen pork chops?

If you want, you can use frozen pork chops for this crock pot recipe.
I would recommend adding 30-60 minutes to the cooking time or just use a meat thermometer to make sure that it has reached a safe internal temperature and is fully cooked.

Do I need to do a quick sear of the pork chops ahead of time?

Nope! With these thick cup pork chops, you can just pop them in the slow cooker with the rest of the simple ingredients for an easy and delicious dinner recipe.

Storage Instructions:

Fridge: Place the leftover tender pork chops into an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days for the best results.

Questions & Reviews

Little Miss Kate says:

I LOVE slow cooker pork chops - we use mushroom soup instead of chicken and they are delish!

Lisa says:

I don't like frying pork chops so I love your idea of using a slow cooker instead. Talk about easy-peasy.

Aleisha McD says:

Guess what is cooking in my crock pot RIGHT NOW!?!

Anonymous says:

do the pork chops have to be thawed or can they be frozen?

stacielk says:

Thanks for the recipe - a friend recommended it from your site and I'm going to try it tonight!

jackatessa says:

I made this and LOVED IT!! So I am blogging about it over at http://jackatessa.wordpress.com. Check it out!

Leigh says:

In the crockpot :) I'm sure my husband will be happy when he gets home!

MarcyPrz says:

I'm attempting to bake these in the oven right now. Ran out of time for the crock pot

tiffany says:

I am curious...could you add potatoes or carrots to the mix? and what do you think the liquid ratio need to then be?

Six Sisters says:

Hi Tiffany!

I am sure that would work fine! I would add about 1/2 cup - 1 cup of water depending on how many veggies you add!

Tabitha Hoffman says:

does this need any water added into it? or do you just pour the soup in without any water? I'm new to cooking lol

Six Sisters says:

No water! Just add the above ingredients. Some start adding potatoes and other veggies, then you would need to add some water. But just for the pork chops, the above ingredients is all you need. Good luck and thanks for stopping by our blog! Merry Christmas! -The Six Sisters

Jenna Winn says:

i'd use more chicken broth instead of water

Paulette says:

Loved this recipe for our family of 8 (I doubled it)! Now trying it with a pork loin.

gatormommy says:

What can I use instead of dry ranch mix? Can I use reg ranch? Really want to make this in the morning.

Six Sisters says:

I think it would still work with regular ranch dressing. We've never tried that before. You just want to get that ranch flavor in it. I would add around 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Let us know how it works.

Ashley Gerni says:

I'm new to cooking and this looks easy enough! I have some chops in my freezer right now. do they need to thaw first or just put them in? also, my boyfriend doesn't like ranch (which sucks cuz I'm pretty much in love with it). do you have any flavor suggestions as an alternative?

Six Sisters says:

If you put them in frozen, you would want to cook them a little longer and as soon as they are thawed make sure they are not sticking together. Spread them out in the crock pot. The ranch just adds a yummy flavor, it won't taste like you're eating salad with ranch dressing all over it. Hope this helps! -The Six Sisters

Amy says:

Isn't there gluten in the cream of chicken soup?

Kaitie says:

I am a nurse can I put these in the crockpot on low and cook them for 13 hours or is that too long? My pork chops are very thick about 2 inches. I have never seen pork chops like this before.

Jean Balliet says:

Thank you for allowing your recipes to be printed. I usually don't print recipes from a blog because you have to print 8 pages to get one recipe. Thanks,

Sally Mouton says:

Could the rice be cooked along with the pork?

Cyd says:

We just throw our rice in the rice cooker at the end of the Pork Chop cooking time. Works out great.

CC says:

I made these for dinner tonight. A-MA-ZING. I had extra pork chops, so I added a little extra broth and a can of cream of mushroom soup, as well as an onion. I didn't salt the pork as advised, and I was really glad I didn't...it would have been waaaaay too salty. This was delicious!! I served it with basmati rice and roasted asparagus. My family was pleased, and it was ridiculously easy. THANKS FOR A GREAT RECIPE!!

Roxanne says:

Omg! Thank you soooo much for this recipe! My boyfriend and i looved it! And the ingredients are so cheap, most of them we always keep in the pantry! This is an amazibg budget-friendly recipe <3<3

Mandy says:

I put this in my cast iron dutch oven (oven temp of 250) instead of a crock pot. They are perfect

Crystal says:

I would find a crock with a timer, that is going to be my next splurge gift for myself :)

Christine says:

Just wondering?if I'm adding potatoes, do they get added in the beginning, with all of the other ingredients? Or later in the cooking cycle? Thanks!

Cyd says:

You could add cut up potatoes part way through the cooking time. They will need to cook for a few hours to get cooked through.

Sharon Dando says:

Not sure I can find dry ranch dressing where I live, is there an alternative?

Cyd says:

You can make your own. Here is a recipe we found on Pinterest - 1 teaspoon dried parsley 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme Mix all of the above ingredients in a bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Cori says:

Are there alterations that need to be done to this recipe if we are using Thin cut boneless pork chops? And do we really need to double ALL of the ingredients if we are making 8-10 pork chops vs. only 4

Cyd says:

If you want all the delicious flavor to coat them in. The original recipe is for 4 thick cut pork chops. So you would want to double if you are doing 8 to 10.

Laurie says:

This is the 3rd recipe from your website I've tried to cut and paste ingredients into my shopping list. It won't let me. I'm not stealing your recipe; I'm just trying to get my errands done as quickly as possible. I won't be coming back to your site. I know you don't care. I actually was going to buy your cookbook, but oh well. There are a lot less paranoid bloggers and chefs out there.

Janna Owens says:

I was wondering if you thought cream of potato soap would work? Its what I have on hand. Thanks :)

Diana says:

If you copy and paste it works just fine. You can't "cut" the recipe because, if it allowed you to the recipe would no longer be there. Try copying and you will see it works.

Diana says:

This message was in response to Lori's about not being able to copy the ingredients and recipe. (I should have mentioned that in my original response).

paulette says:

I would prefer having the pork chops brown. Could you cook on stove top just to brown them then put in crock pot

Laura says:

Referring to Paulette's question (7/19/2015)...I like to brown all meats that I cook in a crockpot, I would think it can't hurt to lightly brown the porkchops first. I can't wait to try this recipe using low fat cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken.

Cyd says:

You should be fine to lightly brown the pork first. Pork is a drier piece of meat, so you won't want to do it very long. :)

Cyd says:

Sure, but you don't want to brown them for very long. Pork tends to be a drier meat. Have a great day!

Sandy Rahlfs says:

I love the crockpot! Originally, I found this recipe through my mother in law. Thanks, Doris! I have it in the crockpot for supper tonight and my hubby is out of town for training through his work. He was teasingly telling me to shove it because he loves this dish too! It is smelling so good in here with it slowly perking! Sandy Rahlfs

Sandy Rahlfs says:

And I used one can of cream of mushroom and one of cream of chicken! I didn't have any mushrooms, fresh or canned, or I would have used that too.

Sarah says:

I think a packet of dry Italian dressing would work well too.

Joann says:

Hi Mandy, how long did you cook it for in your cast iron dutch oven (oven temp at 250)? Thanks so much. :)

Deena says:

I made this today and am pleasantly surprised! It was delicious! I ran out of time to make mashed potatoes but I know that would go nicely with this. It was really good and it’s def a keeper!

Jodi says:

Cooking them for the first time right now!

Joy says:

Where is the directions for instant pot?

Stacy says:

I use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken. One of my favorites. Hubby not so much but he still eats it. Thanks for recipe. Make this at least once a month.

Momma Cyd says:

We have a pork chop recipe that is very popular on our website. Maybe the hubby will like these pork chops- https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/fried-pork-chops/

Kelly Schramm says:

I need meals my elderly parents can take out of the freezer and put in crock pot. Can I freeze this meal ?

Momma Cyd says:

These pork chops should freeze well.

Galen J Allen says:

I made this tonight and we loved it! We served it over white rice.

Brenda says:

What kind of chops are best loin or center cut? For your meatloaf recioe how much is needed for 1 pound of hamburger?

Momma Cyd says:

I would go with a loin chop. But we have tried both and really they all taste amazing!
