Juicy pork chops every time
Minimal prep, maximum flavor
Ingredients
4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick
1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (chicken or herb flavor works best)
1½ cups chicken broth (water may be substituted)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
(or cream of chicken or cream of celery)
Optional: salt and black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or rub it with a little oil. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier later.
Step 2: Mix the Stuffing
In a medium bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix and chicken broth. Stir gently until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the stuffing is evenly moistened. Don’t overmix—it should be soft but not soupy.
Step 3: Create the Stuffing Bed
Spread the prepared stuffing evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker. This creates a flavorful “bed” that will absorb the pork juices as it cooks.
Step 4: Season and Add Pork Chops
Lightly season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper if desired. Place them in a single layer directly on top of the stuffing.
Step 5: Add the Soup
Stir the canned soup until smooth, then spoon or pour it evenly over the pork chops. Let it naturally drip down into the stuffing—this is what gives the dish its rich, comforting flavor.
Step 6: Slow Cook
Cover with the lid and cook:
LOW: 5–6 hours
HIGH: 2½–3½ hours
The pork chops are done when they’re tender and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7: Serve
Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes. Carefully scoop out a pork chop with some of the stuffing underneath and serve warm. Add extra salt or pepper at the table if needed.
Variations & Helpful Tips
Picky-Eater Friendly
Not a fan of mushrooms? Swap cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken or cream of celery. Use plain chicken stuffing for a milder taste.
Add Vegetables
Layer sliced carrots, celery, or onions over the stuffing before adding pork chops. You can also mix frozen vegetables into the stuffing.
Cheesy Version
Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella over the top during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking for a cheesy casserole-style finish.
Apple & Pork Twist
Add thin slices of apples (Honeycrisp or Gala) into the stuffing for a slightly sweet, fall-inspired flavor.
Extra Gravy Sauce
For more sauce, stir an extra ¼–½ cup broth into the soup before pouring it over the pork chops.
Make-Ahead Option
Prepare the stuffing and season the pork chops the night before. Store separately in the fridge, then assemble in the slow cooker in the morning and turn it on before heading out.
Control Stuffing Texture
For thicker stuffing, start with 1¼ cups broth and add more only if needed. Different stuffing brands absorb liquid differently.
Serving Suggestions

Steamed green beans
