How to Make these Easy Crock Pot Pork Chops<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

These chops come from a reader named Barb, who prepared them for her Marine son the night before he returned to base. That little story fits the dish well: it\u2019s warm, reliable, and cozy in a way that feels like home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A Few Notes Before You Get Started<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Choose your texture.<\/strong> Cooking time affects texture more than anything else. About 2 hours on HIGH will give you firmer chops (similar to chicken breast), while longer cooking makes them fork-tender.<\/li>\n
  • Layering matters.<\/strong> The vegetables need to sit closest to the heat so they finish at the same time as the pork. The soup mix and mushroom soup melt into the vegetables, turning into a flavorful gravy.<\/li>\n
  • Know your slow cooker.<\/strong> Every Crock Pot runs slightly differently. Barb cooks hers on HIGH for 2 hours and LOW for 2 hours. I typically use 3 hours on HIGH for tender vegetables and crisp-tender carrots.<\/li>\n
  • Veggie size affects tenderness.<\/strong> Smaller pieces cook faster. Barb even chops her carrots and potatoes in a food processor when she wants them extra soft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    ** Quick Note:<\/strong> If you like a lighter lemon flavor, skip the optional lemon or use only one half. It can become prominent depending on your slow cooker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops<\/h2>\n

    You\u2019ll find full instructions in the recipe card below, but here\u2019s a helpful walkthrough of what\u2019s happening in each step:<\/p>\n

    Step 1: Layer the vegetables first.<\/h4>\n

    Place the potatoes, celery, and carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker. This keeps them closest to the heat so they cook evenly and soften by the time the pork is done.<\/p>\n

    Step 2: Add the pork chops.<\/h4>\n

    Lay the chops right on top of the veggies. Boneless pork chops<\/strong> work great here, but bone-in pork chops<\/strong> can also be used with little adjustment.<\/p>\n

    Step 3: Season generously.<\/h4>\n

    Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the pork. As everything cooks, this seasoning blends with the moisture from the vegetables and soup to create a savory gravy.<\/p>\n

    Step 4: Add mushrooms and onions.<\/h4>\n

    Pile the sliced mushrooms and onions on top. If using the lemon, tuck the halves in now.<\/p>\n

    Step 5: Finish with the mushroom soup.<\/h4>\n

    Spread the condensed cream of mushroom soup over everything. It will look thick at first, but it thins as the vegetables release moisture, turning into a rich gravy.<\/p>\n

    Step 6: Cook until tender.<\/h4>\n

    Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours<\/strong> or on HIGH for 3-4 hours<\/strong>. The pork should be tender and the vegetables fork-soft. Give the mixture a gentle stir before serving.<\/p>\n

    ** Gravy Tip:<\/strong> If you prefer a thicker gravy<\/em>, remove the lid during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking or stir in a small cornstarch slurry at the end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    OMG!! I made this today. Put it in slow cooker, went to work and came home to the MOST DELICIOUS pork chops, vegetables and mushroom gravy. We will make this again and again!!! My son loved it also. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n
