Let’s get started—it’s so simple, you’ll be amazed at how good this turns out.
What You’ll Need:
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1 box (6 oz) of seasoned stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Pro Tips:
- Sear the pork chops first (optional but highly recommended!) for extra flavor and a beautiful golden color.
- For super tender chops, use bone-in pork chops—they hold up better in the slow cooker.
- Add an extra splash of chicken broth if you like your stuffing a bit softer.
- Don’t over-season the pork chops—stuffing mix and soup are already salty.
- Let the dish sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so the stuffing soaks up all the juices.
Tools You’ll Need:
- Slow cooker
- Silicone spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Small mixing bowl
- Optional: Skillet (if searing pork chops)
Substitutions and Variations:
- No cream of mushroom soup? Use cream of chicken instead!
- Swap sour cream for plain Greek yogurt if you prefer.
- Add sliced mushrooms or chopped celery to the stuffing for extra texture.
- Try turkey cutlets or chicken breasts instead of pork chops.
Make-Ahead Tips:
- Assemble everything in the slow cooker the night before (except the broth—add that in the morning) and refrigerate. Just pop it in the slow cooker and go!
- Leftovers reheat beautifully, so don’t be afraid to make a bigger batch.
Instructions:
1. Sear the pork chops (optional)
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Set aside.
2. Prepare the stuffing mix
In a small mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix with 1/2 cup chicken broth. Toss lightly until moistened but not soggy.
3. Layer in the crockpot
Spray the crockpot with nonstick spray. Place pork chops in a single layer on the bottom. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly over the pork chops.
4. Make the sauce
In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Spread this mixture over the stuffing.
5. Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and the stuffing has soaked up all the flavors.
6. Serve
Once done, garnish with chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot with your favorite veggie sides.
Leftovers and Storage:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven. Add a splash of chicken broth to keep the stuffing moist.
- Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
