Ingredients Required for This:
- Onion soup mix – Provides a rich, savory depth of flavor.
- Chicken broth — Adds juiciness to the pork chops and body to the gravy.
- Cream of chicken soup – Adds a creamy, comforting texture to the dish.
- Dry pork gravy mix — enhances the savory flavor of the gravy.
- Bone-in pork chops — Use bone-in chops for succulent meat, ideal for low and slow cooking.
- Garlic powder – Everything’s better with a little garlic!
- Cornstarch – This thickens the gravy to the desired consistency.
- Cold water – Helps to dissolve the cornstarch into a smooth
How To Cook Crock Pot Pork Chops with Gravy?
Step 1: Mix the Gravy Base
To a 5-6 quart slow cooker, add the onion soup mix, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and pork gravy mix. Whisk everything together until combined. Don’t worry about lumps—they’ll smooth out in the cooking process.
Step 2: Season the Pork Chops
Dust both sides of the pork chops with garlic powder — just a little, to make the flavor sing. (Tip: If you like a little extra flavor, you can also add a pinch of salt and pepper!)
Step 3: Store in the Slow Cooker Assembly
Arrange the pork chops in the slow cooker, taking care to spread the pieces out so that they cook evenly. Drizzle the gravy mixture over the top, so each chop gets coated. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours. The longer, the more tender!
Step 4: Thicken & Finalize the Gravy
Thirty minutes before serving, so for any sort of sauce grab a small bowl. Combine cornstarch with cold water until smooth — this is what thickens the gravy up nice and thick. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and gently mix everything together. Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for about 30 more minutes.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
When the gravy is nice and thick, serve those pork chops smothered in the rich, creamy sauce. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or some crusty bread
Tips for Making It More Delicious:
- Use the right pork chops – Bone-in chops make for the most tender and flavorful, but boneless chops work fine too if that’s what you have! Just avoid super thin ones, or they can go dry.
- Sprinkle with love — Garlic powder is wonderful, but a hint of onion powder or smoked paprika will take things up a notch.
- Layering makes a difference — Do not put the pork chops on top of one another. Lay them all out so they cook through and soak up all that gravy goodness.
- Lumps? Don’t stress! — The gravy may seem a little lumpy when you mix it, but slow cooking works wonders — by the time it’s done everything combines into a perfect sauce.
