    Recipe Tips

    When it comes to slow cooker pork chops, there are a few things you need to keep in mind in order to get the best results.

    • This is completely optional but you could brown the pork chops before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent them from drying out.
    • Cook the pork chops on low heat for a longer period of time rather than cooking them on high heat for a shorter period of time. This will ensure that they are cooked through all the way and remain moist and juicy.
    • Be sure to add enough liquid to the slow cooker so that the gravy can properly form. If you don’t add enough liquid, the gravy will be too thick and won’t adhere to the pork chops as well.

    FAQs

    Can I use chicken or beef instead of pork?

    You can use chicken instead of pork chops. Remember to adjust the cooking timing accordingly. You can follow the rest of the recipe as it is.

    I love having pork chops and gravy with rice and noodles. Mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables are also good options.

    Can I use boneless pork chops?

    Yes, you can use boneless pork chops. I always prefer bone-in pork chops for this recipe because that makes the gravy so savory and full of flavor. Whichever one you choose make sure to adjust cooking times to be sure to cook the pork chops are fully cooked through.

    Do I need to brown the pork chops before adding them to the slow cooker?

    No, you do not need to brown the pork chops before adding them to the slow cooker. However, if you want to, you can brown them in a pan on the stovetop before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to give them a little bit more flavor.

    How long should I cook the pork chops in the slow cooker?

    You should cook the pork chops in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low heat, or 4-6 hours on high heat.

    Can I use different cream soup?

    If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup on hand you can use any kind of cream soups such as chicken, celery, etc. These soups are all fairly interchangeable in recipes like this, so use whatever you have on hand or whatever sounds good to you.
