Crockpot Brown Gravy Smothered Pork Chops Recipe Tips

• Use boneless pork chops for the best tenderness and even cooking.
• Pat chops dry before seasoning to help the gravy stick and enhance flavor.
• Don’t skip the resting time after cooking to keep the meat juicy.
• For thicker gravy, prepare an extra packet of brown gravy on the stove just before serving.
• Add vegetables like carrots or green beans to the crockpot for a one-pot meal.
• Serve over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up all the rich gravy.
• Adjust cooking time based on your slow cooker’s heat settings to avoid overcooking.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Let the pork chops cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
• Freezing: Place cooled pork chops and gravy in a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. For best texture, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave in a covered dish in 1-2 minute increments, stirring between, until hot. Add a splash of water or broth if the gravy thickens too much during reheating.
