Crock Pot Pork Chops are a comforting dish featuring juicy bone-in pork chops in a tasty cream of mushroom sauce – a perfect dinner option that can be started before you head to work and will be done when you arrive home.
Pork chops have a way of becoming dry when they’re cooked too quickly. This is why the crock pot method is so much better. The chops will cook in a slow, moist environment for hours, resulting in a super tender and juicy chop. Serve them along side of the crock pot potatoes pictured above for a full meal.

Helpful Tips
- Opt for bone-in chops with a thickness of 1 inch; they hold up better to the slow-cooking process, resulting in a more succulent end product.
- When seasoning the pork chops, take a moment to pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps in achieving a better sear, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
- Resist the temptation to crank up the heat; the low and slow method is your ally here, ensuring that your pork chops become fork-tender and packed with flavor.
How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops
Step 1: Prep the Pork Chops
Pat dry the pork chops. Mix together the seasonings in a small bowl and season the pork well on both sides.
Step 2: Mix up the Sauce
In the crock pot, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine.
Step 3: Slow Cook
Nestle the pork chops into the soup mixture.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours. Serve the pork chops with the mushroom sauce poured over the top. This is a great combination to make with crock pot potatoes.
How to Store & Reheat
Storing
Refrigeration: Place any leftover pork chops and sauce in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the cooked pork chops with sauce in a freezer-safe container or bag. Label with the date and use within 2 months for the best quality.
How to Reheat
Stovetop: Place the pork chops and sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and add liquid if needed to maintain a creamy consistency.
Microwave: Microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, to avoid uneven heating. Add liquid as necessary.
