Easy Crockpot Pork Chops and Gravy Recipe

Unfortunately, this recipe has no fun backstory. Instead, it was just a marketing campaign from Campbell’s. The goal was to market their soups not just as a meal starter, but as an ingredient for gravy and sauces.

Of course, they hit it out of the park with their mushroom soup and pork chop recipe. This recipe has graced many tables in the US since the marketing campaign began in 1940.

Of course, we have changed things a bit to add more layers to the dish. However, the base is still the same. In fact, our crockpot pork chops and gravy recipe uses a lot of the same ingredients as the original.

Pork Chops and Gravy Ingredients

• Bone-in Pork Chops – Keeping the bone in helps retain moisture, making it easier to get a tender chop.
• Olive Oil – Olive oil helps fry the outside of the chops. The result is a flavorful bite with layers you can taste.
• Paprika – Paprika adds some savoriness to the dish. The seasoning brightens the cream of mushroom gravy.
• Onion Powder – Onion powder is part of almost every meat recipe. This seasoning adds depth and complements the other seasonings well.

• Garlic Powder – Another staple in home cooking. The goal is to blend flavors into one while still letting each one shine. 
• Dried Parsley – Parsley is the last seasoning we’ll be using. There is no point in using fresh parsley here; it will blend in with the rest of the ingredients, but add a bit of earthiness.
• Cremini Mushrooms – The rest of the earthiness in this easy crockpot pork chops and gravy recipe will come from the mushrooms!
• Cream of Mushroom Soup – Campbell’s hit the nail on the head. Using cream of mushroom soup as a gravy base works for this and any other gravy recipe.

• Cream of Chicken Soup – We want to add some saltiness and depth of flavor to the sauce. Cream of chicken soup does that job perfectly. 
• Organic Beef Broth – Tie everything together with this beef broth. Slow cooking can dry things out; we want the moisture the broth can provide.
• Large Onion – The onion adds flavor, nutrients, and texture. Layering flavors with seasoning is one thing; layering textures is another.
• Baby Red and Golden Mixed Potatoes – Lastly, we add potatoes. This turns the single recipe into a full meal! You get meat, veggies, and a side dish in one simple crockpot recipe.

How to Make Pork Chops and Gravy in a Crockpot 

• Preheat olive oil in a cast-iron pan or large fry pan over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt & pepper, paprika, onion & garlic powder. Place the pork chops in the pan and brown (sear) on both sides. About 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the pork chops from the pan, set aside, and turn the heat to low/medium.
• Add the beef broth and both soups to the pan, and whisk to release any browned bits from the bottom. Add dried parsley and stir to combine.

• Put onions, mushrooms & potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot. Place the pork chops over the onions, mushrooms & potatoes, then pour the soup mixture evenly over the top.
• Cook on high for about 4 to 5 hours, or on low for 7 to 8 hours. Cook the pork to the recommended temperature of 145°F to 160°F.
• Enjoy!
