Ingredients You’ll Need

- Boneless Pork Chops – About 1 pound. Thick-cut chops work especially well because they stay juicy during the long cook time.
- Ranch Dressing Mix – Adds incredible savory flavor with herbs and seasonings.
- Mushroom Gravy Mix – Creates a rich, flavorful gravy.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup – Makes the sauce extra creamy.
- Beef Broth – Adds depth and helps create plenty of gravy.
- Yellow Onion – Sliced thin for sweetness as it cooks.
- Fresh White Mushrooms – Add wonderful earthy flavor and texture.
Optional Gravy Thickener
If you’d like a thicker gravy that’s perfect for mashed potatoes:
- Cornstarch
- Water
Simply whisk them together into a slurry before adding to the slow cooker at the end.
How to Make Crockpot Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops
This recipe couldn’t be easier.
Step 1: Make the Sauce
In a large slow cooker, whisk together the mushroom gravy mix, ranch seasoning packet, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth until smooth.
Step 2: Add the Pork
Nestle the pork chops into the gravy mixture, making sure they’re mostly covered.
Top with the sliced onions and mushrooms.
Step 3: Slow Cook
Cover and cook:
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
The pork chops should be tender and easy to cut with a fork.
Step 4: Thicken the Gravy
Remove the pork chops carefully and set aside.
Whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir it into the slow cooker.
Cook for another 3–5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Step 5: Serve
Return the pork chops to the slow cooker to coat in the creamy gravy.
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Tips for Perfect Slow Cooker Pork Chops
- Choose thicker pork chops if possible to help prevent them from drying out.
- Don’t skip the onions—they become incredibly soft and flavorful.
- Fresh mushrooms add the best texture, but canned mushrooms can be substituted if needed.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, start checking the pork toward the lower end of the cooking time.
Variations
- Add Garlic: Stir in 3–4 cloves of minced garlic before cooking for extra flavor.
- Make It Even Creamier: Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Add Vegetables: Baby carrots or diced potatoes can cook right alongside the pork chops for a complete one-pot meal.
- Use Cream of Chicken: Out of cream of mushroom? Cream of chicken soup works great too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops?
Yes! Bone-in pork chops work beautifully in the slow cooker and often stay even juicier. You may need to add an extra 30–60 minutes of cook time depending on their thickness.
Can I use cream of chicken soup instead?
Absolutely. Cream of chicken or even cream of celery both make delicious substitutions.
Why are my pork chops dry?
Thin pork chops can overcook more easily. Choosing thicker chops and cooking on LOW whenever possible helps keep them tender and juicy. Check internal temperature periodically so you do not overcook.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes! Everything can be assembled in the slow cooker insert the night before. Refrigerate overnight, then place the insert into the slow cooker the next morning and start cooking.
