Slow Cooker Pork Chops are tender, juicy and smothered in a mouthwatering gravy! This budget-friendly dinner is so satisfying, plus it’s easy to make with pantry ingredients. You only need 10 minutes of prep for crock pot pork chops everyone will love!
These easy crock pot pork chops will become one of your favorite slow cooker recipes. Even picky eaters will love all the delicious flavors. The best part? It’s both keto and paleo.
The secret to getting juicy pork chops is lots of seasoning to tenderize the meat while it cooks. Serve them with veggies such as mashed potatoes or broccoli along with a green salad for a complete meal.
A 6-quart crock pot will accommodate 6-8 pork chops depending on size, and you can easily cook them in layers. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
WHICH PORK CHOP CUT SHOULD I USE?
You can cook almost any pork chops in the crock pot using this recipe. Here are some popular options:
- Slow Cooker Boneless Pork Chops: Boneless rib chops or pork loin chops are all great choices.
- Slow Cooker Bone In Pork Chops: Rib chops, T-bone chops and bone in sirloin chops all work well. Just avoid shoulder chops (or blade chops), which have a grainy texture.
Use the long end of the time range for bone in pork chops, as they require slightly more time to cook through. Thick pork chops will turn out juicier, but use whatever you like.
