I first discovered this delicious recipe when I was just a new mother. A very exhausted one at that. As a new mom you’re completely obsessed with your baby and want to spend every waking minute gazing at and holding that little bundle of cuteness, and when you’re not doing that you want to sleep. That leaves little time for standing over the stove even if it’s just a 30 minute meal like Apple Spinach Pork Chops or Meatball Veggie Ramen. So that’s why you need easy meals like this Slow Cooker Pork Chops & Gravy. With a meal like this you can actually follow the advice to “sleep when your baby sleeps” and have a delicious meal on the table for the family.
Or maybe you aren’t a new mom but are just a busy person or even lazy when it comes to cooking. This seriously takes just 10 minutes of prep time in the kitchen. You’ll love it!
If you don’t care much for pork you can totally just swap it out for chicken but I think you’ll change your mind about pork chops after you try it in this recipe. Never have you had pork chops so tender! Seriously, most tender pork chops ever! Pork chops can often be a bit tougher to chew than chicken but you won’t have that problem in this recipe. Cooking it low and slow always does the trick.
Besides the slow cooker working it’s tenderizing magic in this recipe, you also get instant gravy! So after you dredge the meat in flour, you mix the leftover flour/spices with chicken broth and then pour it over the pork chops. Cook for four hours on low and ta-da! Super tender pork chops AND gravy! Whip up some mashed potatoes and green beans and you’ve got a lovely comforting meal the whole family will enjoy.
Go pop this in the slow cooker and enjoy your afternoon, followed by a yummy dinner with the fam.
Tools used to make these Slow Cooker Pork Chops:
Slow Cooker– This is very similar to the one I use but it has the addition of a lockable lid which is awesome for when you are transporting food for a party or pot luck, especially soup.
Cast Iron Skillet– I love using a cast iron skillet to brown meat and well, really cook everything.
Pie Dish– It’s not just for pies! I love using this to coat/dredge meat.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 4 ounce boneless pork loin chops
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl (I like to use a pie dish), combine flour, seasoned salt, ground mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper.
- Press each pork chop into flour mixture, coating both sides and edges.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown pork chops on both sides. About 2 minutes per side.
- Remove pork chops from pan and place in slow cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk leftover flour mixture with chicken broth and pour it over the chops in the slow cooker. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on low until meat is tender.
- When done, remove chops and stir the gravy with a whisk to remove any lumps. Strain gravy if desired. Serve pork chops with mashed potatoes and top both with the gravy.

Melanie
April 22, 2014 at 8:34 amGlad you liked it Tikla! I’ll have to try adding some cayenne pepper for some extra heat too!

December 13, 2014 at 6:07 pmCan this recipe be doubled? I have a pack of pork chops and would like to make them all at once.
Melanie
December 14, 2014 at 8:33 pmYes! Just double everything in the recipe. You’ll have to stack the pork chops on top of each other to all fit in the crock pot but that’s not a problem. Enjoy!

November 2, 2015 at 6:27 amWe made this last night, and I cannot describe how delicious it was. Simply amazing. Good cool weather comfort food.
Melanie
November 5, 2015 at 1:47 pmThank you for the rave review! Glad you enjoyed them as much as we do! 🙂

April 27, 2017 at 8:56 amCan you use pork chops with bone in?
Melanie
May 8, 2017 at 10:11 pmYou sure can!
Susan Bulatek
September 20, 2017 at 8:19 amMade this last night for the first time. It was truly delicious. The only tweak was I added a can of drained sliced mushrooms. Best pork chops we’ve ever eaten. Thank you!
Samara
October 16, 2017 at 11:15 amCan this be cooked on low and if so for how long?
Melanie
October 17, 2017 at 1:11 pmSamara, I’m not sure what you mean? You are supposed to cook it on LOW for 3-4 hours. I haven’t tried it on high. You could do it on HIGH for 2-3 hours but I’m not sure it will be as tender.
Kelly
October 19, 2017 at 5:21 pmCan u season the meat itself with salt and pepper before drudging it in the flour
Melanie
October 26, 2017 at 7:02 amYes! Go for it!
Helen
October 20, 2017 at 5:04 pmCan this be made in a quick pot?
Melanie
October 26, 2017 at 7:01 amI have never cooked with a quick pot (pressure cooker) so I’m not sure the sauce would thicken up like it does here. If I ever get one I’ll try it or if you end up trying it let me know how it goes.
Anonymous
November 28, 2017 at 4:49 pmJust put broth in sauce pan to thicken
Helen
October 20, 2017 at 8:27 pmMade this tonight yum I put it in my quick pot for the meat cycle added a splash more chicken broth then a bit more when it was done its a keeper!
Melanie
October 26, 2017 at 6:59 amSo happy to hear you enjoyed it Helen! 🙂
Anna Marie
March 16, 2019 at 8:22 pmHiw long did you cook it in the instant pot?
Becky
November 12, 2017 at 7:05 amCould I use frozen pork chops, and maybe add a couple of extra hours to the cooking time? 🤔 I was thinking I could rinse them, to get them wet enough for the dredge to stick, then continue with the recipe as usual.
Melanie
November 13, 2017 at 7:17 amBecky, I haven never tried to brown frozen meat. I don’t really know if that would work very well…
Ann
November 12, 2017 at 12:34 pmI have another recipe that uses pork chops in crock pot with bone in. I stood them up by placing the bone down and putting them side by side then pouring over ingredients over them, seemed to work well for me.
I have not tried this recipe but intend to do so next week. Thanks for sharing!!!
Melanie
November 13, 2017 at 7:15 amOh, That’s a good idea! If you try this with bone-in let us know how it goes.
Kirsten
November 30, 2017 at 1:08 amGoing to try this!!! My hubby and I shy aay from pork chops. (Both our moms pan fried them until they could be used as hockey pucks) Hopefully this will change our minds. 😎
Melanie
December 2, 2017 at 5:30 pmYou will love these! Far from a hockey puck. 🙂
Valarie
May 24, 2018 at 6:03 pmSame! Haha These are in my crock pot now and they smell heavenly! Can’t wait for dinner 😊
Jennifer
December 6, 2017 at 6:11 pmWhat about the oven? Do you think it would work?
Melanie
December 10, 2017 at 2:26 pmJennifer. You can definitely cook it in the oven. Place it in a 9×13 inch pyrex dish, cover tightly with foil, and cook at 200 degrees until tender (about 4 hours). Let me know how it goes. 🙂
Elizabeth
December 13, 2017 at 5:38 pmI made these tonight, and they were awesome. Best meal I’ve had in awhile. My youngest daughter ate seconds, and that’s rare.
Melanie
December 15, 2017 at 9:45 amI’m so happy to hear that Elizabeth! That is awesome!
Shay
January 25, 2018 at 1:43 pmWhat about using bone in pork chops?? Would that work too?
Melanie
February 5, 2018 at 10:01 pmThat will work!
Cathy
February 11, 2018 at 11:59 amI dont have chicken broth can I use bullion cubes to make the broth
Melanie
May 25, 2018 at 8:11 amOf course! That’s actually what I do. 🙂
Trish
February 14, 2018 at 3:34 pmHi I’m using chicken brests I’ve just added everything to my sc. I tasted the sauce before I added it in.
I did everything as written. But I can get a flowery taste.
Thanks
Melanie
March 31, 2018 at 10:43 pmTrish, Sorry to just get back to you. The flour taste cooks out. I definitely do NOT recommend tasting the sauce before cooking since it is made with the flour that you dipped the chicken in. I hope you didn’t get sick!
Ashley Jordan
May 19, 2018 at 11:48 amMy crockpot says 4 and 6 hrs its high and 8 and 10 hr is slow so which do i use
Melanie
May 25, 2018 at 8:08 amFollow my directions. 4 hours on low. You have already partially cooked the pork chops so you only need to finish cooking/tenderize it. Cooking on high will make it dry.

July 26, 2018 at 10:26 amHello I wanted to do an easy slow cooker pork chops and I found this one, I was out of chicken broth so I mixed cream of chicken with cream of mushroom and added water to ate 3 cups, wish me luck will tell you tonite how it goes
Meemie
August 29, 2018 at 3:18 amHi can you use vegetable stock instead of chicken?
Melanie
October 28, 2018 at 3:19 pmYes! That will work just fine.
Tammy
September 12, 2018 at 9:13 amVery delicious. I would recommend others to try it. 😋
Tom
September 22, 2018 at 9:32 amHi.
Just saw this recipe and am wondering if you can toss some potatoes into the SC at the same time as everything else.
and with the same time frame, or would the spuds need more time?
Thanks
Melanie
October 25, 2018 at 6:25 pmYou can if you’re not planning to use them to make mashed potatoes. I would use little red and yukon potatoes or cut russets into 2 inch pieces.
CJ
November 2, 2018 at 6:47 pmDELICIOUS!!! This will be a regular entree in our house. I made a few slight changes to your recipe.
I added cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. I put onions in the bottom of the crockpot and placed the seared pork chops on top of them. I also used a little of the flour and chicken broth and made a small amount of gravy using the pan drippings. I poured the pan gravy into the 3 cups of chicken broth; stirred it; then, added the rest of the flour and whisked it all together until it was smooth and poured it over the pork chops. I checked the pork chops after 2 hours and the gravy looked thin and I thought I did something wrong, but I left it alone to continue cooking. At the 4 hour mark, my crockpot meal looked just like your picture!! The pork chops were fork tender and the gravy was the perfect consistency and just yummy. Per your suggestions, we ate the pork chops with mashed potatoes and green beans. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Melanie
November 7, 2018 at 2:52 pmI love the additions of cayenne pepper and onions! YUM! So happy you enjoyed it! 🙂
Kevin
January 16, 2019 at 8:40 pmI made this as directed, but with one minor change. I used the chicken broth to deglaze the pan before mixing with the flour and putting into the slow cooker. Why waste that flavor left in the bottom of the pan. It all turned out tasty and the gravy was perfect with no effort made. This recipe is a winner.
Bonnie
February 17, 2019 at 4:46 pmthis was the best pork chops i”ve ever had ….am dong it with chicken tonight
Joyce
February 28, 2019 at 3:04 amThis recipe looks delish. I’m going to give it a try and then also try the same method with cube steak and use beef broth. Pork chops and Cube steaks are both favs of my hubby
Helen
March 11, 2019 at 6:04 pmI know you said you could use chicken but what about chuck steak using beef broth for the gravy? I cook my pork chops this way in the quick pot comes out wonderful one of my favorite recipes.
Connie
August 2, 2019 at 12:03 amWhat if I don’t have chicken broth
Melanie
September 4, 2019 at 9:42 amYou can use water and chicken bouillon.
