Nothing is more comforting than gravy-covered pork chops. Add in some green pepper for flavor, and you have a recipe you will repeat over and over.

Use a short pan searing to add great flavor then load them into a crock pot with onion, green pepper, garlic and some broth for moisture. Cook until fall-apart tender and make a simple gravy for a great weeknight dinner.

Serve with rice, egg noodles, mashed potatoes, and a hot vegetable like broccoli, asparagus, Baked Parmesan Green Beans, or Corn on the Cob.

♨️Making Gravy with Crock Pot Recipes

The issue of making gravy for crock pot recipes is why you see so many cans of soup and envelopes of gravy mix. If you want fewer chemicals, you need to adapt.

I don't feel there is a good way to make acceptable gravy in the crock pot. I suggest moving the liquid to a saucepan and using cornstarch slurry or a flour roux. For more information on making gravy, please see How To Make Gravy at Home.

🐖About Pork Chops

Real pork chops are the middle three in the above diagram. The ones on the ends are frequently sold as chops, but I don't believe them.

I frequently pick up a whole pork loin when they are on sale and cut it myself. Half the price, and they will freeze great for 3-4 months. But the biggest plus is I always have them on hand.

For this recipe, bone-in or boneless is fine, and any reasonable thickness should work, but it will affect the cooking time.

Step-by-Step Photo Instructions

Use two of 1-inch boneless or bone-in pork chops—salt and pepper to taste.

Heat one teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chops and brown each side for 3-4 minutes to get the color you like and add some taste.

While the pork is browning, optionally slice one medium onion and one green pepper. Also, crush 1-2 cloves of garlic. For the two pork chop versions, you only need half the pepper and onion.

Add half the veggies and garlic to the bottom of a small crock pot. Add the pork on top, and add the remaining veggies and garlic. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.

Cook on high for 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low.

For gravy, mix 4 tablespoons flour in 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth. Move the chops to a plate, pour the liquid into a pan over medium-high heat, and bring to a light boil. Slowly pour in the thickening liquid while stirring vigorously until starting to thicken. At that point, stop adding the thickener and continue to stir and simmer for a few minutes until the gravy is done. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe Notes

Pro Tips

1. You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops. Thickness is up to you but not extra thick.
2. Fits well in a crock pot of 3 quarts or more.
3. I suggest half an onion and pepper for a 2 chop version. The amount of garlic is per taste. My wife wants double garlic.
4. The best way to make gravy with a crock pot meal is to move the fluid to a saucepan and use flour.
5. There is a bit more flour in the slurry to make the gravy than you probably need. That is to account for any release of liquids from the ingredients. So when the fluid starts to thicken. Stop adding to flour and wait a minute or two to see if you need more,
6. Good refrigerated for 3-4 days and frozen for 3-4 months.
