“Dump-and-Go” Savory Comfort Food

Description

Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Stuffing is the ultimate no-fuss comfort meal. Tender pork chops cook low and slow beneath a layer of seasoned stuffing, soaking up moisture and flavor as everything melds together. With just a few pantry staples and minimal prep, this dish delivers hearty, home-style flavor perfect for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays.

 Ingredients

  • 4 boneless or bone-in pork chops

  • 1 (6 oz) box dry stuffing mix (chicken or herb flavor)

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

  • ½ cup chicken broth (or water)

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for richer flavor)

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • Cooking spray (for slow cooker)

 Instructions

  1. Lightly spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.

  2. Place pork chops in an even layer at the bottom. Season lightly with pepper and garlic powder.

  3. In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth.

  4. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops.

  5. Dump the dry stuffing mix evenly on top (do not stir).

  6. Drizzle with melted butter if using.

  7. Cover and cook:

    • LOW: 6–7 hours

    • HIGH: 3–4 hours

  8. Serve hot, spooning stuffing and sauce over the pork chops.

Notes & Tips

  • No dry stuffing: The soup and broth steam upward, perfectly moistening the stuffing.

  • Extra veggies: Add sliced onions, celery, mushrooms, or green beans under the pork chops.

  • Thicker sauce: Stir everything gently during the last 30 minutes if you want a more blended texture.

  • Avoid overcooking: Pork is done when it reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.

  • For browning: Optional—sear pork chops briefly before slow cooking for added flavor.

 Recipe Q & A

Q: Can I use boneless or bone-in pork chops?
A: Yes! Bone-in tends to be juicier, but both work well.

Q: Can I use cream of mushroom instead of chicken?
A: Absolutely—it adds an earthy, savory flavor.

Q: Will the stuffing be dry?
A: No. The steam from the soup and pork keeps it moist and fluffy.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Q: Can I use chicken instead of pork?
A: Yes—boneless chicken breasts or thighs work great with the same cook times.
