Stuffed Pork Chops – Easy Slow Cooker Recipe

Introduction

These Stuffed Pork Chops are a comforting, easy slow-cooker dinner made with thick-cut pork chops, savory seasoned stuffing, and creamy mushroom soup. The pork cooks slowly until tender while the stuffing stays flavorful and moist. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep, this is a delicious meal for busy weeknights or a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops, about 1–1¼ inches thick
• 1 (6 oz) box seasoned stuffing mix
• 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
• Water and butter or oil as required by the stuffing package directions

Instructions

1. Prepare the Stuffing

Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package directions using the required water and butter or oil. Stir until the bread is evenly moistened and fluffy. Let it cool for a few minutes.

2. Cut the Pork Chops

Place the pork chops on a cutting board. Carefully cut a deep horizontal pocket into the side of each chop, stopping before cutting completely through.

3. Stuff the Chops

Divide the prepared stuffing evenly among the pork chops. Gently press the stuffing into each pocket, tucking in any pieces that spill out.

4. Layer in the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease a 4–6-quart slow cooker. Spread a few spoonfuls of the condensed mushroom soup over the bottom.

Arrange the stuffed pork chops in the slow cooker in a single layer, with the stuffing facing mostly upward.

5. Add the Mushroom Soup

Spoon the remaining condensed mushroom soup over and around the pork chops. As it cooks, the soup will create a creamy sauce that helps keep the meat moist.

6. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or until the pork is tender and the stuffing is hot throughout. Begin checking earlier if your pork chops are thinner.

For food safety, use a meat thermometer and make sure the pork reaches a safe internal temperature.

7. Rest and Serve

Turn off the slow cooker and let the pork chops rest, covered, for 5–10 minutes. Carefully remove them using a wide spatula or tongs.

Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the pork chops and serve warm.

Conclusion

These Stuffed Pork Chops are the perfect combination of tender pork, savory stuffing, and creamy mushroom sauce. The slow cooker does most of the work, making this recipe an easy choice for a satisfying family dinner. Serve with green beans, mashed potatoes, or your favorite vegetables for a complete comfort-food meal.
