3. Simple Ingredients. Boneless pork chops are easy to find, but not a regular dinner ingredient, making this dish a special one. The rest of the ingredients are probably already in your cupboards.

Key Ingredients for Slow Cooker Pork Chops

The best part about this recipe is that the ingredients are super common items that you might already have. No need for a special grocery trip.

Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

• Boneless Pork Loin Chops: This recipe calls for thick pork chops, at least 1 ¼ inch thick. Thinner pork chops will dry out terribly in the slow cooker, so I'm telling you now, buy the thick ones.
• Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Ground Mustard add savory, salty, and tangy flavor to the meal.
• Onion and Garlic: We will sauté these aromatic vegetables before adding them to the crockpot, for even more savory flavor.
• Flour: Flour serves two purposes in this recipe. First we'll use it to dredge the pork to get a nice brown crust on it. Later we'll use a bit more to thicken the gravy.
• Chicken Stock: This will turn into a delicious gravy, and it's the liquid that slowly braises the pork.

Tip!

Use Thick pork chops for this slow cooker recipe! Thin cut pork chops will overcook using this method.

How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Gravy

It's so easy to create a mouthwatering meal of pork chops in the slow cooker.

1. Season Pork: Season each pork chop with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, combine flour with garlic powder and ground mustard, then dredge each pork chop in the flour and shake off any excess.
2. Brown Pork: Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chops on both sides until golden brown, working in batches. This should take 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chops to the slow cooker.

1. Sauté: In the same skillet, sauté the onions until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker.
2. Slow Cook: Pour the chicken stock over the chops. Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours. The porch chops are ready when the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145°F/63°C. Make sure that they don't cook for too long and dry out.
3. Make Gravy: Remove the pork chops onto a plate and cover to keep warm. Thicken the gravy by whisking in flour. Cook, covered, on HIGH until the gravy has thickened.

Recipe Success Tips

• Sear and Sauté. It takes a few minutes to brown the pork chops and sauté the vegetables, but tons of flavor comes from those two steps, don't skip it!
• Don't Overcook. Check the pork after two hours for doneness, and only add more time if it's needed. Pork loin chops don't need to cook for any extra time to get perfectly tender using this method.
• Make it Gluten Free. Gluten Free all purpose flour or cornstarch can be used in place of the flour in this recipe.

What to Serve with Slow Cooker Pork Chops

With something to hold the gravy. Mashed potatoes are always a good choice, whenever gravy is around. Rice, quinoa, egg noodles, or cauliflower rice will all be delicious too. This mushroom rice would be an amazing pork chop side!

With Vegetables. Make a well-rounded meal out of this recipe with a veggie side dish like green beans, sauteed mushrooms, or broccoli.

With Dessert. Rich, savory meat dishes always make me want something sweet afterwards. Try making pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting or a classic pecan pie.

FAQs

Will this recipe work with Chicken?

It sure will! Use large boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the pork chops, and follow the recipe as written.

What size crockpot should I use?

This recipe works best in a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker. This is the normal size of most slow cookers, but if yours is larger you may want to increase the volume of the ingredients so it's more full.

What kind of pork chops should I cook in the crock pot?

This recipe calls for boneless center cut chops that are thick, over 1 inch. You can use bone-in chops, or loin chops, so long as you don't use thin pork chops.

Can you put raw pork in a slow cooker?

In general, you can add raw pork to a slow cooker, but for this recipe, I don't recommend it. Browning the outside of the pork before adding it to the slow cooker helps to keep it tender and moist.
