Slow-cooking pork chops is the best way to cook them because the low-temperature cooks them until they're fall-apart tender while keeping them moist on the inside.
Also, I love that the stuffing cooks with the pork chops so all I have to do is make a salad or simple vegetable to complete the meal. Plus, the pork infuses the stuffing with extra flavor during cooking.

Ingredients You’ll Need
- Boneless Pork Chops: This lean cut of pork works great to cook in the slow cooker keeping it juicy and tender as it cooks. For best results, use center-cut loin pork chops that are not too thick or thin.
- Stuffing Mix: The combination of croutons, herbs, and spices gives you dish all the flavor it needs. Using a boxed stuffing keeps the dish low prep. Choose your favorite brand and flavor.
- Vegetables: Yellow onion and celery infuse the dish with aromatics and flavor.
- Seasoning: Dried sage gives the pork and stuffing the classic flavor of stuffing while the onion powder deepens the onion flavor.
- Chicken Broth: Broth adds flavor while providing moisture to the stuffing and keeping pork chops from drying out. I find it adds more flavor than using just water.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: Adds a creamy richness to the slow-cooked dish. You can also use cream of mushroom or cream of celery if you prefer.
- Sour Cream: Adds a creamy tanginess to the dish.
Variations
- Chicken Instead. Swap the pork chops for chicken thighs or chicken breasts. Just be careful with the breasts so they don't overcook and dry out.
- Add Some Fresh Herbs. Feel free to add some fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley, the common herbs in stuffing, to deepen the flavor.
- Experiment with Stuffing Flavors. This dish works with any type of stuffing so try it with traditional, herb, and cornbread.
- Add Vegetables. Add carrots, mushrooms, or bell pepper along witth the celery and onion.
- Change the Flavors with Fruit and Nuts. Add some diced apples, pears, or dried cranberries to the dish along with the celery and onion. Then stir in some chopped walnuts or pecans just before serving.
How To Make Pork Chops and Stuffing In The Crock Pot
- Step 1: Prepare the pork chops. Pat the pork chops dry and whisk together the dried seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with the seasoning and place them in the slow cooker in a single layer.
- Step 2: Layer the ingredients. Add the diced celery and onion on top of the pork chops. Combine the chicken broth, chicken soup, and sour cream in a medium bowl and mix well. Pour this over the stuffing and pork chops. Leave it as is and do not mix together.
- Step 3: Cover and cook. Cover with the lid and cook on high or low until the pork chops are fully cooked through.
- Step 4: Mix and serve. Remove the pork chops and place on a serving platter. Gently stir the stuffing to fluff it up. Serve the stuffing over the pork chops. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use a Liner. For the easiest clean-up use a slow cooker liner! This way you're guaranteed to need for scrubbing.
- Adding Ingredients to Cook. Be sure to add the ingredients in the order listed in the recipe card AND don't mix together so it cooks up with the right consistency.
- Use a 6-quart Slow Cooker. Or larger! This way there's enough room to fit all the ingredients. If using a smaller slow cooker you will need to extend the cooking time a bit.

Storing & Reheating
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to three months.
- Reheating: The best way to reheat the pork chops and stuffing is to place the leftovers in a covered dish in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual servings if you prefer.
Recipe FAQs
No, you shouldn't cook frozen meat in a slow cooker. If you are using frozen pork chops, be sure to thaw them out before adding them to the slow cooker.
Yes, you can! Just make sure they aren't too thick or too thin. I find they add even more flavor than the boneless and are often much cheaper too!
The cooking time depends on the thickness of the pork chops. Generally, slow-cooking pork chops for 2½ to 3½ hours on HIGH or 5-6 hours on LOW does the trick. To make sure they're done, use a thermometer to check the safe internal temperature for pork chops which is 145°F (63°C).
