Slow Cooker Stuffing Pork Chops 

 Description

Slow Cooker Stuffing Pork Chops is a classic comfort dish that combines juicy, tender pork chops with savory, herb-seasoned stuffing. Cooked low and slow, the pork becomes incredibly soft while the stuffing absorbs all the rich flavors, creating a warm, hearty meal perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners.

 Ingredients

  • 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (chicken or herb flavor)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or chicken soup
  • 1 small onion (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Optional: ½ tsp dried thyme or parsley

 Instructions

  1. Prepare the pork chops
    Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Layer the slow cooker
    Place sliced onions and garlic at the bottom. Lay pork chops on top.
  3. Prepare stuffing mixture
    In a bowl, combine stuffing mix, chicken broth, and cream soup. Mix lightly.
  4. Assemble
    Spoon stuffing mixture over pork chops, spreading evenly.
  5. Cook
    • Low: 6–7 hours
    • High: 3–4 hours
  6. Serve
    Serve pork chops topped with stuffing and spoon extra sauce over the top.

Notes

  • Bone-in pork chops tend to stay juicier than boneless.
  • Do not overmix stuffing—it should stay fluffy, not mushy.
  • Cream of mushroom gives a richer flavor, while cream of chicken is milder.

 Tips

  • Extra flavor: Add sliced mushrooms or celery to the base.
  • Crispy top: Transfer stuffing to oven and broil for 3–5 minutes.
  • Thicker sauce: Cook uncovered for last 20 minutes.
  • Low-sodium option: Use reduced-sodium broth and soup.
