Hey Cousins! If you’re looking for a Southern-style comfort recipe, I’ve got THE winner for you! What tastes better than a tender, juicy pork chop? A southern-style smothered pork chop with lots of gravy, that’s what! Growing up in a soul food household, I’ve had my share of amazing pork chops, but I must admit that nothing quite compares to homemade smothered pork chops with creamy gravy.

My mom used to make smothered pork chops for Sunday dinner, and she still does! I remember that she used to use thick-cut pork chops and smother them with onions and cream of mushroom soup. She then let them bake in the oven until they were fork-tender and served them with potato salad, rice, or greens.

Although I will always love my motherโ€™s recipe, I had to create my own. My slow cooker smothered pork chops recipe consists of a homemade onion and garlic gravy made from scratch. The rest of the ingredients in this southern smothered pork chops recipe are super simple; you probably already have them on hand! So let’s dive into how to make slow-cooker pork chops and gravy.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops

Now, Iโ€™ll warn yโ€™all outright that weโ€™re making slow-cooker pork chops without mushroom soup! I know in many recipes, that is a staple ingredient. However, as youโ€™ll see from my recipe list, we are not using any kind of canned soup in this recipe. Hereโ€™s what you need to make Southern smothered pork chops:

  • Pork Chops: I use thin-cut, bone-in pork chops for my recipe (I’ll share more on the best pork chops cut in a minute).
  • All-Purpose Flour: I use flour to coat the pork chops for a quick fry before slow cooking. It gives the chops an extra layer of flavor!
  • Seasonings: I season my pork chops with simple salt and black pepper. However, you can season your chops with whatever suits your taste! Onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder for some kick, or even Rosamae Seasonings pork seasoning.

What’s the best cut of pork chop for slow-cooked pork chops?

Generally speaking, blade and sirloin pork chops are the best for slow cooking. This is because they are tougher and fattier, which translates to a juicy flavor when slow-cooked. Theyโ€™re also a bit thinner, which cuts down on cooking time. However, you can use thick-cut pork chops (you may need to cook thick pork chops longer), and you may also use boneless pork chops. Of course, if you have pork steaks, you can use them too!

Ingredients for From-Scratch Pork-Chop Gravy

If you’re making your gravy from scratch, like me, here are the key ingredients you need. I promise y’all, even if you think you can’t make homemade gravy, YOU CAN make this one! It’s so easy!

  • Onions: the base of this gravy is chopped onions. I donโ€™t use mushroomsโ€”however, you can if you prefer!
  • Flour: I use the leftover flour from coating the chops before quick-frying them. Every gravy starts with flour!
  • Chicken Broth: add depth and flavor to your gravy with chicken broth. You could also use beef broth if you prefer.
  • Half and Half: this helps to make the homemade onion gravy extra creamy.
  • Seasonings: I season my gravy with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and celery flakes. Again, season to your liking!

How to Make Southern Smothered Pork Chops

Slow cooked smothered pork chops covered in a from-scratch onion gravy, served over rice.

I’ve been on a bit of a slow-cooker recipe kick lately, so I slow-cook my smothered pork chops. However, you can bake them if you choose. So, I’m going to share how to make Southern-style smothered pork chops in the slow cooker AND the oven. As always, I share the complete directions and ingredient measurements in the recipe card below. I always recommend following the written instructions for the tastiest, best results!

Step 1: Quick Fry the Pork Chops

The first step to making Southern-style smothered pork chops is to give them a quick fry. To do this, I start by seasoning the chops with salt and pepper, then coating them in all-purpose flour. DO NOT TOSS the rest of that flour, y’all! You’ll need it for your gravy!

Heat some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. When heated, we’re going to fry the pork chops for about 30 seconds on each side. This will give them a little crisp without fully cooking them. They will NOT be fully cooked, so don’t dig in just yet!

Step 2: Make the Homemade Pork Chop Gravy

To make the gravy, we will use that vegetable oil from frying the chops. Toss one chopped onion into the oil and cook them until they’re nicely browned and translucent. Toss in that leftover flour and stir until the onions are coated.

Next, add the chicken stock and stir until no lumps are left. The flour will turn a nice golden brown, which is what we wantโ€”this is all that delicious pork flavor soakinโ€™ into that gravy base, yโ€™all.

Finally, pour in the half and half, then add your seasoningsโ€”minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and celery flakes. Stir until everything is well combined. You don’t have to cook the gravy on the stovetop for a long time since it will perfectly slow-cook in the Crock Pot with the pork chops.

Step 3: Cook the Pork Chops

Now it’s time to cook! As I said before, there are two ways to cook smothered pork chopsโ€”in the slow cooker and in the oven.

How to cook smothered pork chops in the slow cooker:

  • Add the pork chops to the slow cooker, then cover with the homemade onion gravy.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • Pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

How to cook smothered pork chops in the oven:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Put the pork chops into an oven-safe dishโ€”a 9×15 bake dish or a cast iron skilletโ€”and pour the gravy all over the pork chops.
  • Cover the chops with foil and bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes until they reach 145 degrees.

Southern Style Smothered Pork Chops: FAQs and Tips for Success

I want to share some pro tips and frequently asked questions, so y’all can make the BEST smothered pork chops and gravy recipe ever. Feel free to leave a comment below with your questions!

Can I use a store-bought gravy mix instead of homemade for these smothered pork chops?

You certainly can use a store-bought gravy mix if itโ€™s what you have on hand, but I swear that making homemade pork gravy is JUST as easy and way more delicious. If you have gravy mix on hand, go ahead and use it. The best kind of gravy for smothered pork chops is brown gravy. You could also make peppered gravy, beef gravy, or mushroom gravy.

I don’t have half and half at home; can I use milk in the gravy?

Yes, you can substitute milk for half and half; however, the gravy might not turn out to be as creamy! If you don’t have half and half, I recommend adding a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch and water) to help thicken the gravy. Whole or 2% milk would be best to useโ€”the creamier, the better.

Why are my smothered pork chops dry and tough?

If your chops are dry, it probably means you overcooked them. The key to a perfectly tender pork chop is cooking it to the right temperatureโ€”145 degrees internally. So, if youโ€™re baking your smothered pork chops, keep a close eye on the internal temp.

What can I serve with Southern smothered pork chops?

In this recipe, I serve smothered pork chops over some freshly cooked rice. Itโ€™s the perfect side to go along with the rich and creamy onion gravy. Egg noodles would also go great with this recipe. Other side options for smothered pork chops include:

  • Creamy Mashed Potatoes
  • Green Beans and Potatoes
  • Collard Greens
  • Cornbread

How to store smothered pork chops:

The great thing about this Southern smothered pork chop recipe is that itโ€™s the perfect freezer meal. You can make the gravy ahead of time and freeze it until youโ€™re ready to make it. Thaw it the night before in the fridge, then pop it in the slow cooker for a stress-free dinner. Smothered pork chops leftoversโ€”if there are anyโ€”can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days.

    Rosie, thank you so much for this recipe! We just finished dinner and my Dad can’t stop raving about the meal! I’m an experienced cook and made fried potatoes, fried apples and chopped spinach to go with the chops. I added a carton of sliced portobello mushrooms in with the onions because my dad and I both love them. The chops came out of the oven fork tender and the gravy is TO DIE FOR. This is going into my permanent rotation of recipes. YUM!

    Making this right now in my crockpot, read the comments, my onions, flour did not get brown either, tasted fine though. I added some browning sauce to it to make it brown and still tasted good. The onions were getting too dark so I added the liquid, could it because I did not use a cast iron pan like you did. If we like it, I will use that next time. Going to serve over noodles, with mixed vegetables.

    WOW! I fixed this for supper tonight and it was excellent! I am not a cook, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was so delicious. My husband loved them, too. This did not take long to prepare, I love this recipe and will try it again. Have you tried it with chicken, Rosie?

    Many thanks, Rosie! Great job! God has given you a special talent. Thanks for sharing it!

    Hi Rosie, I made your baked bbq pork chops last night, and they were a hit. I want to try this next. With them being in the oven for an hour and 25 minutes, can I do the prep work prior so I can just come home and toss them in the oven, or will that throw the taste off? Thanks!

    OK, I realize this is a little premature but I have a feeling this is going to be the BEST pork chops and in the top five of any meal I have ever made. I love to cook but my gravy always comes out funky. The gravy that I put into the oven smothering my chops is superb. It’s groovy creamy and oh so tasty. I am making it in the oven because I am a little short on time but Rosie I just know when I pull this puppy out of the oven my friends (who I have invited for dinner) are going to make sex sounds at the dinner table ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Thanks!

    I cannot be thankful enough to you and your blog! You cook like a goddess and even I (as a total idiot in the kitchen) could prepare a fantabulous dinner thanks to your nice guidance and loveful description in the video! For the first time in my life, my roux was a success (!!) and my man loved it too (which doesn`t always go without saying) – Thank you so much for everything, you made my day – and I`ll definitely continue following and cooking after you!
    with lots of greetings from Eastern Europe (Hungary)

    Hi Rosie, er
    I was searching for a new method of cooking chops, and after viewing sooo many others that didn’t grab my interest I came across yours. I knew this would probably be something to try, but after reading all of the fantastic comments/compliments i was sure this could be the new recipe I’ve been seeking! I know you said you could also use boneless chops, but does that vary the cooking time in slow cooker or oven? thank you for sharing your knowledge and creative recipes with all of us.

      Hi Laurie! I think the cooking time would be off a bit, depending on the thickness of the chops ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Rosie,

    I love crock pot cooking, was looking for a smothered pork chop recipe. I constantly search the internet for new interesting recipes.
    This is definitely not my moms way of doing smothered pork chops, however; if she was still here sheโ€™d love it.
    They are cooking in my crock pot as I type, the gravy is awesome….. canโ€™t wait to enjoy.

    Thank you!

    Mine didn’t look as good as yours, Rosie, but it sure was delicious! I think I didn’t have enough flour left to add to the onions and should have added more at that point. But to be on the safe side, I waited to see what would happen once the liquids were added. So I ended up adding 2 T. cornstarch slurry. I made all of this in my 12″ stainless skillet so just slid it into the oven to bake. The last half hour or so, I turned up the temp so it would brown some.

    Will definitely be making this again, hopefully even better next time. Love your Best Oven Baked BBQ Ribs, too!

    Thanks for the great recipes and easy to follow instructions and videos.

    Easy, sooooo flavorful. Have made several times in crockpot. I used a little celery chopped up and sauteed with the onions. Family loves this dish and I have requests for it. I have used bone-in and bone-less chops. Both cook up tender and delicious. A keeper for sure!

My family wanted my garlic mashed potatoes and I steamed up some fresh green beans from my garden. Excellent meal as always I have been cooking one or two of your recipes each week, and I have never found one that I didnโ€™t absolutely love!
