These Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Potatoes and Green Beans are cooked in a creamy mushroom gravy for an easy, comforting dinner the whole family can enjoy. With tender pork chops, hearty potatoes, and green beans all made in one slow cooker, this simple meal is perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed weekends.
Slow cooker pork chops are a great option when you want a homemade meal without spending all day in the kitchen. The slow cooker does most of the work, and it also cooks the potatoes and green beans right along with the pork. Everything simmers together in a creamy gravy, giving the dish plenty of flavor while keeping preparation simple.
This recipe is especially helpful when you like to plan ahead. You can peel and cube the potatoes the night before, drain the green beans, and set out the canned soup so everything is ready to add to the slow cooker in the morning. Once the pork chops are seasoned and the sauce is mixed, the meal can cook while you go about your day.
Recipe Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor and a shorter cooking time, brown the pork chops in a skillet before placing them in the slow cooker. If you do this, check them earlier and adjust the cooking time as needed.
- You can use fresh, frozen, or canned green beans. Canned green beans should be drained before adding them to the slow cooker.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, stir a small amount of cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then mix it into the gravy near the end of the cooking time.
- Slow cookers can vary in temperature and cooking speed, so adjust the time based on your model. Pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Cut the potatoes into similar-sized cubes so they cook evenly. Larger pieces may need more time to become tender.
- Season lightly at first, especially if your cream of mushroom soup contains salt. You can always add more pepper or seasoning before serving.
The Best Pork Chop Cuts
Choosing the right pork chops helps make this slow cooker dinner tender, flavorful, and satisfying. For this recipe, both boneless pork loin chops and bone-in pork chops can work well. The best choice depends on your preference and what you have available.
- Boneless Pork Loin Chops – Boneless pork chops are popular because they are easy to serve and usually have little to no bone or excess fat. When cooked properly, they become tender and absorb the creamy gravy well.
- Bone-In Pork Chops – Bone-in pork chops are often thicker, and the bone can help add flavor during cooking. They may take a little longer to cook, but they hold up nicely in the slow cooker.
Whichever cut you choose, avoid overcooking when possible. Slow cooking is convenient, but pork chops can become dry if left too long after they are done. Use the recommended cooking time as a guide and check for doneness based on your slow cooker.

How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops
Pour the cream of mushroom soup into the slow cooker. Add the water and stir until the soup is slightly thinned and smooth enough to coat the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season the pork chops with pepper to taste. Place the pork chops on top of the soup mixture in the slow cooker, making sure they sit in the gravy. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours.
During the last 2 to 2 ½ hours of cooking, add the drained green beans and cubed potatoes to the slow cooker. Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are fully cooked.
Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and set them aside briefly. Stir the soup mixture, green beans, and potatoes together so the vegetables are coated in the creamy gravy.
Spoon the potatoes, green beans, and gravy onto a plate, then place a pork chop on top. Serve warm and enjoy this easy slow cooker pork chop dinner.
