How To Cook the MOST Tender Pork Chops! 

Knowing how to cook pork chops so they are moist and tender can be a little tricky. Pork chops are usually pretty lean, so they cook quickly and are prone to overcooking.

You can not bank on an exact cooking time or color as accurate ways to measure whether pork chops are done. Here are 4 tips for the best results:

1. Use the LOW setting on the crockpot not the high. The chops will come out juicier and more tender when cooked on low!
2. Use thick, well-marbled pork chops.
3. Always use bone-in, not boneless.
4. The best foolproof approach is to use an instant-read meat thermometer, and pork chops need to cook to 145 degrees. no more. If you use bone-in chops they will require longer cooking time than boneless chops.

Crockpot Pork Chop Ingredients

• Pork Chops: Use at least 1 3/4 inch thick, well-marbled bone-in pork chops so they stay juicy. Yes, you can use boneless chops if that’s all you can find, but honestly, they won’t be as juicy. You’ll likely need to reduce the overall cooking time. Use an instant-read digital thermometer to make sure you don’t overcook and dry them out. See note above.
• Onion: Use a yellow onion.
• Vegetable Oil: Any neutral flavored vegetable oil will work.
• Mushrooms: I like to use cremini mushrooms (a.k.a. brown mushrooms) because they add a more mushroomy flavor. That said, white button mushrooms will work as well.
• Condensed Soup: This recipe uses a combo of 2 flavors to create a richly flavored gravy that holds up to the slow cooking in the crockpot.
• White Wine: If you don’t have alcohol in your home you can use chicken broth instead.
• Worcestershire Sauce: This adds great depth of flavor.
• Garlic Powder: This adds a nice, light garlic flavor.
• Dried Thyme Leaves: Adds an herbal, woodsy flavor to the gravy.
• Black Pepper: Adds the finishing seasoning to the gravy.

Storing + Freezing + Make-Ahead

• How Long Will This Last In The Fridge? Store in an airtight container. This easy slow cooker pork chops recipe will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• Can You Freeze This? I prefer this slow cooker pork chops and onions served fresh, but it can be frozen. If you choose to freeze this, I suggest you do so in resealable 1-gallon plastic bags. It will last for 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
• Make-Ahead: I brown the pork chops the day before and store them in a resealable 1-gallon plastic bag. Next, I mix the gravy ingredients and store them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap in the fridge. Assemble the next morning.

Serving Recommendations For Crockpot Pork Chops

I love to serve these on a bed make ahead mashed potatoes to sop up all the delicious gravy and, of course, with my easy Bisquick biscuits to dip in that gravy! Then with Southern green beans, brown sugar carrots, or KFC coleslaw.

Top everything off with my strawberry cake, coca cola cake, coconut cake, or Texas sheet cake and you’ll have a meal fit for a king ( and queen, of course!!!).
