Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 pounds boneless pork loin or pork chops

How to Make Slow Cooker Amish Brown Gravy Pork Noodles
1. Add the Pork
Place the pork in the bottom of your slow cooker.
If you’re using thick pork chops, arrange them in a single layer when possible.
2. Prepare the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the pork.
3. Slow Cook
Cover and cook until the pork is tender:
- LOW: 5–6 hours
- HIGH: 2½–3½ hours
Cooking time can vary depending on the cut and thickness of the pork.
4. Cook the Noodles
Cook the egg noodles separately according to the package directions.
Drain well when they are tender.
5. Combine Everything
Carefully remove the cooked pork and slice or shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Return the pork to the slow cooker and stir in the cooked egg noodles.
Let everything sit together for a few minutes so the noodles can absorb some of the rich brown gravy.
6. Serve
Spoon the pork and noodles into bowls and serve warm with plenty of gravy.
Tips for the Best Pork Noodles
Cook the noodles separately. Egg noodles can become overly soft if left in the slow cooker for several hours, so adding them near the end—or cooking them separately—is the safest way to keep their texture.
Choose a tender cut of pork. Boneless pork loin or pork chops work well for this recipe.
Don’t overcook the pork. Start checking it toward the lower end of the recommended cooking time.
Adjust the gravy consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a small amount of warm beef broth before serving.
What to Serve With Pork Noodles
This is already a hearty one-bowl meal, but it pairs nicely with simple sides such as:
- Green beans
- Steamed broccoli
- Glazed carrots
- Peas
- Garden salad
- Warm dinner rolls
- Homemade applesauce
A simple green vegetable helps balance the rich gravy and noodles.
Easy Variations
Add Mushrooms
Sliced mushrooms are a natural match for brown gravy and add extra savory flavor.
Add Onions
Sliced yellow onions can be added to the slow cooker for a sweeter, deeper flavor.
Use Chicken
You can substitute boneless chicken thighs for pork and use chicken broth instead of beef broth for a different version.
Add Herbs
A little dried parsley, thyme, or black pepper can add extra flavor to the gravy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put the egg noodles in the slow cooker from the beginning?
It’s generally better to add cooked noodles near the end or cook them separately. Long cooking can make egg noodles overly soft.
Can I use pork chops?
Yes. Boneless pork chops are a convenient option. Adjust the cooking time according to their thickness.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. The pork and gravy can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Cook the noodles separately and combine everything when you’re ready to reheat and serve.
How should leftovers be stored?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly before serving. If the noodles absorb too much gravy, add a splash of broth while reheating.
