Slow Cooker Pork Chops

Slow Cooker Pork Chops with creamy garlic Parmesan sauce are one of those dinners I keep coming back to because they're easy, hands-off, and incredibly good. The pork turns out fork-tender and completely smothered in a thick, rich sauce that's loaded with Parmesan, garlic, and Italian seasoning. I make them for weeknight dinners, date nights, and family gatherings because they're always a crowd-pleaser and the slow cooker does all the work.

Notes

Here are a few things I've learned from making these that'll help yours turn out perfectly.
  • Season generously: Don't hold back when seasoning the pork chops with salt and pepper, since that's the only direct seasoning on the meat itself before the sauce takes over.
  • Whisk the sauce thoroughly: Mix the heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth, then pour it over the pork chops so the sauce coats evenly and doesn't clump.
  • Arrange in a single layer: Place the pork chops flat in the slow cooker rather than stacking them so the sauce surrounds each piece evenly and they all cook at the same rate.
  • Keep the lid on: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking, as each time you do, heat escapes and extends cooking time, which can affect how tender the pork chops turn out.
  • Check for doneness: Pork chops are safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Use a meat thermometer to check toward the end of the cooking window so you don't overcook them.
  • Freeze with the sauce: When freezing leftovers, always store the pork chops with the sauce in a freezer-safe airtight container so the meat stays moist when you reheat it. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm gently to prevent the cream sauce from separating.
