4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Stuffing Crust
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick) | 4 chops (1 1/2–2 pounds total) |
| Seasoned stuffing mix | 1 (6-ounce) box |
| Condensed cream of mushroom soup | 1 (10.5-ounce) can |
| Low-sodium chicken broth | 1 cup |
Instructions
Lightly grease a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil.
Pat the pork chops dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Arrange them in a single layer in the slow cooker, allowing slight overlap if needed.
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed soup and chicken broth until mostly smooth.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each piece is coated, with some liquid pooling around them.
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top. Gently press it down with a spoon so the bottom layer absorbs moisture while the top remains textured.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or on HIGH for 2 1/2–3 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through (at least 145°F) and the stuffing is soft underneath with a slightly firm top.
Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so the stuffing crust can set. Lift each pork chop with a portion of stuffing and spoon extra sauce over the top if desired.
Variations & Tips
Swap cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken or cream of celery to change the flavor slightly. Bone-in pork chops work well; just extend cook time on LOW by about 30 minutes. Cornbread stuffing creates a sweeter profile, while sage-heavy stuffing leans into holiday flavors. Add sliced onions or mushrooms under the pork for extra depth. For a toasted topping, transfer to a baking dish and broil for 2–3 minutes. Finish with fresh parsley or green onions for brightness. This recipe halves easily for smaller households—just adjust quantities and use a smaller slow cooker.
