I love smothered pork chops, but sometimes I just don’t have time to cook! These slow cooker pork chops take away all the work. All I have to do is give them a quick sear in a pan, then toss them in the crockpot, and they’re ready to go in just a few hours. I love making them on busy weeknights!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover crockpot pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a pan set over medium-low heat. Add a splash of broth, milk, or cream to help loosen up the gravy.
Serving Suggestions
With its rich gravy and savory flavor, these slow cooker pork chops pair perfectly with crockpot mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles and a side of green beans with bacon or air fryer ranch broccoli.
How to Make Crockpot Pork Chops Step by Step
Season the Pork: Season 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops on both sides with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, and ½ teaspoon of ground paprika. Sear the Pork: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the pork chops, searing on each side until browned. Sauté the Onions: Add in ½ of a thin-sliced onion and cook until softened. Then, add in 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook for a minute. Pour in ½ cup of white wine and a 14.5-ounce can of low-sodium chicken broth. Then, stir in the 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard and a cornstarch slurry made from 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook the Chops: Place the pork chops in the slow cooker, and pour the broth mixture over the pork chops. Add in 2 bay leaves and 3 sprigs of fresh thyme. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. Blend the Gravy: Once the pork chops are done cooking, remove them from the slow cooker and place on a plate. Remove the bay leaves and thyme and discard. Use an immersion blender to blend the broth mixture until smooth. Add the pork chops back to the slow cooker to keep warm until ready to serve.
