One of the things I think we all love about crock pot meals is how quick and easy they are to make. A few simple ingredients put in the crock pot early in the day and dinner is ready and waiting at the end of the day.
This recipe is just that. It is simple, plus quick and easy to make and contains everyday ingredients. In fact, it only contains four ingredients. You cannot get much more simple than that.
This is so delicious and tender. In fact, the pork chop fell apart when I put it on the plate to get the photograph. Fork tender pork chops, delicious!
Serve this with Mexican rice and a salad and you have a simple and delicious meal.

Crock Pot Mexican Pork Chops
Four ingredients are all you need for these easy to make crock pot Mexican pork chops
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 6 pork chops
- 1 cup salsa
- ½ teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet cook and add onion. Cook onion in oil until tender.
- Add pork chops and brown chops on each side for about 2 minutes aside. You are just browning here, not cooking completely. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan. Add more oil if needed. ( You can skip the browning here, but I think the extra step is worth it and makes for a better flavor and texture)
- Place onion/pork chop mixture into crockpot.
- Combine salsa and cumin and pour over browned pork chops.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until done. ( The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your chops.)

These sound so easy and so good. Thanks for posting the recipe. Loving the crock pot recipes! 🙂
i’ve never tried pork chops in the crock pot but it sounds great!
Did you use bone-in or boneless pork chops?
I use what I have which is usually bone-in
Would I be able to brown the chops the night before, and then the next morning throw everything into the crock pot?
I would probably just skip the browning and put them skipping that step. I think it will work find that way.
Im making these tonight:):):)
I hope you enjoy them!
I do my pork chops in the crock pot all the time and they always do great! !
My crock pot gets so hot I can actually brown the chops right in it. Today’s crock pots are not made like the ones I remember from the 1970’s. Those didn’t get hot on the outside and kids could actually touch them and not get burned. No so with today’s version.
I would have to skip the cumin (because I HATE it) but the rest sounds wonderful. Gotta give these a try real soon.
I agree. The newer crockpots seem to heat much hotter than the older ones. You could easily skip the cumin or use other spices that you love.
I’m going to have to make the Mexican Pork Chops very soon!!! 🙂
I was a long time follower of your blog then life happened. I remembered this recipe today and am making it for dinner. Don’t know why I haven’t made it in a while. It’s a favorite.
