This easy crockpot pork chops and potatoes recipe delivers melt-in-your-mouth pork and creamy, flavorful potatoes with minimal effort. Perfect for busy weeknights, it’s a comforting, family-friendly one-pot meal that practically cooks itself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
  • 1.5–2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
  • 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary, Italian seasoning, or herbes de Provence)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter (cut into small cubes, optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
  • Nonstick cooking spray (for slow cooker)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic. Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Arrange half of the potatoes in an even layer on the bottom, then scatter half of the onions and garlic over them. Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, and garlic.
  3. Optional: Brown pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
  4. Place pork chops in a single layer over the potatoes and onions in the slow cooker.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and paprika. Pour evenly over pork chops and potatoes.
  6. Dot butter cubes over the top (optional).
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender and pork chops reach at least 145°F internally.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Gently lift pork chops out with tongs, plate with potatoes, and spoon sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a GF condensed soup or make your own sauce. For dairy-free, use a coconut-based soup and plant-based butter. Browning the pork chops before slow cooking adds extra flavor but is optional. Cut potatoes evenly for best results. If sauce is too thin, remove lid for last 30 minutes or mash a few potatoes into the sauce. Leftovers reheat well and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
