Crock Pot Pork Chops with Brown Gravy Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
• 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
• ¾ cup reduced sodium beef broth
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1 small onion, sliced

How To Make Crock Pot Pork Chops with Brown Gravy

1. Season and brown the pork chops: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Brown each side for about 3 minutes.
2. Deglaze the pan with soups and broth: Remove pork chops from the skillet. Add cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and beef broth to the skillet. Whisk to loosen any browned bits from the bottom.
3. Layer ingredients in the crock pot: Place sliced mushrooms and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add browned pork chops on top, then pour the soup mixture over everything.
4. Cook until tender: Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, until pork is tender and fully cooked.
5. Thicken the gravy (optional): For thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir into the crock pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Recipe Tips

• Best pork chops for slow cooking: Blade, shoulder, sirloin, or tenderloin chops work best. Leaner cuts may cook up less tender.
• Do I need to add water to the canned soup? No, use the condensed soups straight from the can.
• Why are my pork chops tough? They likely need more cooking time; check tenderness at the 7-hour mark.
• How to serve the gravy: Spoon it over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for a full meal.
