How to Make Slow Cooker Amish Brown Gravy Pork Noodles
1. Add the Pork
Place the pork in the bottom of the slow cooker. If using pork chops, arrange them in a single layer when possible.
2. Prepare the Gravy
Whisk together the brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth until smooth.
Pour the gravy mixture over the pork, making sure the meat is well covered.
3. Cook the Pork
Cover and cook until the pork is tender:
- LOW: 5–6 hours
- HIGH: 2½–3½ hours
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness and cut of pork.
4. Cook the Egg Noodles
Cook the egg noodles separately according to the package directions. Drain well once tender.
Cooking the noodles separately helps prevent them from becoming too soft.
5. Shred or Slice the Pork
Remove the cooked pork from the slow cooker and cut or shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Return the pork to the gravy and stir gently.
6. Combine and Serve
Add the cooked egg noodles to the slow cooker and gently toss them with the pork and gravy.
Let everything sit for a few minutes so the noodles can absorb some of the savory sauce.
Serve warm with extra gravy spooned over the top.
Tips for the Best Results
Cook the noodles separately. This keeps them from becoming mushy during the long slow-cooking process.
Don’t overcook the pork. Begin checking it toward the lower end of the recommended cooking time.
Adjust the gravy consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of warm beef broth and stir until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Use wide egg noodles. Their shape holds onto the creamy brown gravy especially well.
What to Serve With Pork Noodles
This dish is filling on its own, but you can serve it with:
- Green beans
- Steamed broccoli
- Glazed carrots
- Peas
- Garden salad
- Warm dinner rolls
- Applesauce
A simple vegetable makes a great contrast to the rich gravy and noodles.
Easy Variations
Add Onions
Add sliced yellow onions to the slow cooker for extra sweetness and savory flavor.
Add Mushrooms
Fresh sliced mushrooms pair beautifully with the brown gravy.
Try Different Noodles
Wide egg noodles are traditional for this style of dish, but you can also use medium egg noodles or another short pasta.
Add Herbs
A little dried thyme, parsley, or black pepper can give the gravy an extra layer of flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use pork chops instead of pork loin?
Yes. Boneless pork chops work very well. Just keep in mind that cooking time can vary depending on their thickness.
Can I cook the noodles directly in the slow cooker?
It’s better to cook them separately and add them near the end. This helps maintain a better texture.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes. The pork and gravy can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Cook the noodles separately and combine everything when reheating.
How do I store leftovers?
Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. When reheating, add a small splash of beef broth if the noodles have absorbed too much gravy.
