Crock Pot Pork Chops with Creamy Onion Gravy

It’s been one of those chilly, rainy Virginia days that calls for something cozy simmering in the kitchen — and these Crock Pot Pork Chops with Creamy Onion Gravy hit the spot. Tender, flavorful, and smothered in a rich, creamy sauce, this easy slow-cooker meal feels like Sunday supper comfort without all the work.
I didn’t follow a strict recipe (because you know me 😅). I just grabbed what I had, trusted my kitchen instincts, and let the crock pot work its magic — and it turned out incredible.

What You’ll Need for the Best Crock Pot Pork Chops

Simple pantry staples make this recipe shine:

• 2 pork chops (thawed)
• Seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1–2 tbsp butter
• 1½ tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• ¼–½ cup heavy whipping cream
• Cooked rice or orzo for serving

How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops with Creamy Onion Gravy

1. Season & Sear: Season both sides of the pork chops generously and sear them in a skillet until golden brown.
2. Layer in the Crock Pot: Line your crock pot with a Reynolds liner (trust me, worth it), then place the pork chops in the bottom.
3. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in flour to make a roux, then whisk in beef broth until smooth and thickened.
4. Pour & Cook: Pour the gravy and onions over the pork chops. Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 hours.
5. Finish & Serve: Before serving, whisk in heavy whipping cream until creamy and smooth. Serve over rice, orzo, or mashed potatoes with a ladle of that rich onion gravy.

Here’s a Tip for Extra Flavor

If you want to take this recipe up a notch, toss in some mushrooms and fresh herbs before cooking — they soak up the gravy and add amazing flavor. Now, I don’t add mushrooms anymore because I’m highly allergic (sad face 😭), but I used to love them in everything and anything!
For a creamy, restaurant-style finish, stir in a spoonful of sour cream or a splash of white wine when you add the cream. It makes the gravy extra silky and rich — total comfort food magic.

Serving Ideas for Crock Pot Pork Chops

I served mine with buttery peas in the mini crock — just a slice of bacon, a pat of butter, and some pepper. Simple, southern, and delicious.
Other great pairings:

• Roasted carrots or green beans
• Garlic mashed potatoes
• Fresh baked bread for soaking up that gravy 😋

A Little Encouragement from the Kitchen

Sometimes the best meals aren’t planned — they’re born out of what’s on hand, a little creativity, and a dash of grace. That’s what this recipe reminded me of today: cozy doesn’t have to be complicated.
