Tender, juicy pork chops are slow cooked in a rich, creamy, and savory gravy that’s so good, I could eat it with a spoon! Whenever I make these slow cooker pork chops, everyone asks for the recipe, and they never believe I made them in my crockpot.

Easy Crockpot Pork Chops Recipe
I love smothered pork chops , but sometimes I just don’t have time to pull them together. Enter these slow cooker pork chops that eliminate all the hands-on time. All I have to do is give the pork chops a quick sear in a pan, toss them in the crockpot, and they’re ready to go in just a few hours. Rich, savory and absolutely delicious, I love making them on busy weeknights.
Tips for Beginners
- Don’t skip the searing . Searing adds so much extra flavor to the gravy.
- Add veggies. Feel free to add diced potatoes or veggies to the crockpot for a one pot meal.
- Check on the pork chops . Towards the end of the cooking time, check for doneness to avoid overcooking. As soon as they reach 145°F on an instant-read thermometer, they are ready to eat.

Serving Suggestions
With its rich gravy and savory flavor, these slow cooker pork chops pair perfectly with crockpot mashed potatoes , some plain rice , or even these buttered noodles . To add color to my plate, I’ll make a side of green beans with bacon or air fryer ranch broccoli .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
