How to Make Slow Cooker Steakhouse Gravy Pork Chops
1. Add the Pork Chops
Place the pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible.
2. Make the Gravy Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, and beef broth until smooth.
3. Pour Over the Pork
Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure they are well coated.
4. Slow Cook
Cover and cook until the pork chops are tender:
- LOW: 5–6 hours
- HIGH: 2½–3½ hours
Cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and your slow cooker.
5. Serve
Carefully transfer the pork chops to plates and spoon plenty of the warm gravy over the top.
For the ultimate comfort-food dinner, serve them over creamy mashed potatoes so they can soak up all that delicious gravy.
Tips for Tender Pork Chops
Choose thicker pork chops when possible. They tend to stay more tender during slow cooking.
Don’t overcook them. Pork can become dry when cooked for too long, so start checking toward the shorter end of the cooking time.
Whisk the gravy first. Mixing the ingredients before adding them to the slow cooker helps create a smoother sauce.
Let the pork rest briefly. Give the chops a few minutes to rest before serving.
What to Serve With Gravy Pork Chops
These pork chops pair beautifully with classic comfort-food sides:
- Mashed potatoes
- Egg noodles
- White rice
- Green beans
- Roasted carrots
- Steamed broccoli
- Dinner rolls
Mashed potatoes are especially delicious because they soak up the creamy steakhouse-style gravy.
Easy Variations
Add Mushrooms
For extra mushroom flavor, add sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker before cooking.
Add Onions
Sliced onions can add sweetness and savory flavor to the gravy.
Use Chicken Broth
If you don’t have beef broth, chicken broth can be used. The flavor will be slightly lighter but still delicious.
Add Garlic
A little garlic powder or minced garlic can give the gravy an extra layer of flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops?
Yes. Bone-in pork chops can be used, although cooking times may vary depending on their thickness.
Can I use pork loin chops?
Absolutely. Pork loin chops work well, but try not to overcook them because lean cuts can dry out.
Can I make the gravy thicker?
If the gravy is thinner than you’d like, transfer some of the cooking liquid to a saucepan after the pork is done and simmer it briefly. You can also use a small cornstarch slurry to thicken it.
What temperature should pork reach?
For food safety, whole cuts of pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), followed by a short rest.
