This is another one of those super simple, easily adaptable recipes. Â In fact, I can think of three different ways to serve it. Â All of them would be delish. Â We chose the simplest serving method – sandwiches.
But you could also make the pork and gravy and serve it as whole pork chops with your favorite sides. Â Then repurpose the leftovers as sandwiches.
Or you could make open-faced sandwiches with mashed potatoes. Like a Manhattan. Â I think there are other terms for this type of sandwich, but I can’t think of them right now. Â Leave a comment if you know of some.
I used 2.5 lbs of boneless pork chops and 1 jar of gravy. Â If you like it more gravy-ish, just add a second jar. Â And if you’re serving them as open-faced sandwiches with mashed potatoes, you’ll want the second jar of gravy.
For a side dish, I cooked some farmer’s market veggies in a skillet. Â It was a quick meal that we really liked.
This really can’t get any easier! Â I love recipes like this.

This sounds like it would be a winner at our house. Could I do this with a pork roast instead? If so, should I slice it first or leave it as a full roast? Thanks!
Amanda, you can use a pork roast for this. Leave it whole and then shred it when it’s cooked.
How long would need to cook it for a roast instead of the pork chops , I also want to use roast. 🙂
It should cook for about the same amount of time, just go with the longer time.
ahhh I need these! My husband would LOVE these!
I made this for dinner tonight. Yum! I used a 1.75 lb. pork loin and it was perfect for the four of us. We ate it like a hot turkey sandwich (that’s what I grew up calling it) with mashed potatoes and corn. We sliced it, but next time I want to try it shredded on buns like you have pictured. Instead of the jarred gravy, I used the powdered mix that I always have on hand from Sam’s. It was the perfect easy meal to come home to after a busy day of work and grocery shopping. Thanks for a great recipe!
I’m glad you liked it. It would make great Manhattans (what we called the sandwiches with mashed potatoes). Thanks for the serving idea!
I used leftover pork roast, cream of mushroom soup and a packet of brown gravy. Added a pinch of herbs and a 1/2 cup of water. Cooked on low for 4 hours in the slow cooker/crock pot. Husband and I had a craving for pork and gravy sandwiches. This was the perfect easy recipe that I could find! Thank you!
