Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops: Easy, Frugal And Delicious
Slow cooker smothered pork chops is one of our family’s favorite recipes. They’re super easy to make and so darn delicious!
Pork chops are still a good deal at the grocery store and even a better deal when they go on sale (So, stock up!). This recipe uses basic pantry ingredients (that you may already have) and your slow cooker. It’s an easy, throw together recipe that takes only a few minutes to prep. The slow cooker does the rest of the work!
The rich, creamy gravy makes these smothered pork chops a delicious comfort food, especially when served over mashed potatoes! They’re also great served over rice or egg noodles.

Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Ingredients you’ll need:
- Pork chops
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Sliced mushrooms (canned or fresh)
- Onion
- Beef Broth
- Minced garlic
- Paprika
- Salt & pepper
How To Make Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Place pork chops on the bottom of the slow cooker. Then, place the onions and mushrooms on top of the pork chops. (There’s no need to brown the chops first but it’s certainly an option.)
In a medium sized mixing bowl, you’re going to blend together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, minced garlic, paprika & salt/pepper.
Pour the mixture over the chops, cover and cook them on low 6-7 hours or high 3-4 hours. They will be very tender so I recommend using a large spoon to spoon them out of the slow cooker. They will literally fall apart. Also, do not over cook. You may want to check them right at 6 hours, if cooking on low or at 3 hours when cooking them on high.
What to serve with smothered pork chops:
- Mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles.
- Broccoli, a salad or any veggie of your choice.
