Not all of my new recipe experiments have been well received in our home. Due to varying ingredient preferences, it is not unusual for one of us to like a particular meal while others simply do not care for it and start rutting in the refrigerator for last night's leftovers. When I plan to try a new recipe, I make sure there is an alternative meal available. I've learned that is a necessity.
Due to my own childhood experiences with tomatoes, I've never required my children, or anyone, to eat a meal that did not appeal to them, simply because it was set before them. Of course, I cook with tomatoes, but my personal preference is either tomato sauce or petite diced tomatoes. I cannot eat a tomato alone or sliced on a hamburger like my parents, siblings & husband. Therefore, I completely understand when someone doesn't like a specific ingredient or presentation.
A few years ago, my mother started cooking pork chops in her crock pot. I have cooked pork loin in my crock pot for decades, but not the chops and I hesitated to try the pork chops in gravy. However, Mom was kind enough to share one of her cooked pork chops with me and I loved them. They are awesome!
She gave me her recipe and with a few very simple changes based on my household preferences, I now cook pork chops in gravy for my family. Everyone, except our vegans, love these chops.
Crock Pot Recipe for Pork Chops with Gravy
- 5 Pork Chops (any size – I use the breakfast chops)
- 1 Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 pkg of Pork Gravy Mix (I use Pioneer Roasted Pork Gravy Mix)
- ½ Cup Water or Chicken Broth
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- Butter

Note: Can add a pkg of onion dip mix if desired (I don’t use this)
Directions
Mix together the soup, gravy mix, water and pepper. Pour into the crock pot.
Layer the pork chops on top of the mixture.
Lightly pepper and add a pat of butter on each pork chop.
Cook for 7 ½ hours on low.
Finishing sauce thickener after chops are cooked: In a cup,
stir together 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch & 2 Tablespoons Water to make a
sauce thickener. Temporarily remove pork chops and stir mixture into
sauce in the crock pot. Add the chops back to the crock pot and cook
chops in the sauce for another 30 minutes.
During that additional 30 of cooking in the crockpot, I prepare a box of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice and serve the cooked pork chops over the wild rice.
My Crock-Pot
I own two crock-pots. My original crock pot is over 40 years old, but it still works like new. However, during the holidays, I found I needed a second crock-pot to carry meals to my parent's home when my siblings and their families are in town. I chose one that has latches on the top for easy transporting.
