Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Stuffing Pork Chops

ADVERTISEMENT

A classic, ultra-comforting weeknight dinner with just 5 minutes of hands-on prep. The pork chops slow-cook until tender under a thick blanket of savory, herb-seasoned stuffing.

Recipe Overview

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5–6 hours (Low) or 2½–3 hours (High)
  • Total Time: ~5 hours 10 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Cost per Serving: ~$2.75

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops (approx. 1-inch thick)
  • 1 box (6 oz) dry herb-seasoned stuffing mix (such as Stove Top)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup, undiluted

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the Pot: Spray the inside of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Layer the Pork: Place the pork chops in a flat, single layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Combine Topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the dry stuffing mix and the undiluted cream of chicken soup until combined. (Do not add water or broth—the mixture should be thick.)
  4. Cover Chops: Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly across the pork chops, spreading it completely to the edges to lock in moisture.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or on HIGH for 2½–3 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the pork is fork-tender.
  6. Rest & Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Lift each chop onto a plate, top with a generous scoop of the savory stuffing, and serve hot.

Pro Tips & Meal Prep

  • Do Not Add Extra Liquid: It may feel counterintuitive to skip water or broth, but the undiluted soup paired with natural juices released by the pork yields the perfect fluffy, moist stuffing without turning it soggy.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Check the chops with an instant-read meat thermometer starting at the early end of the cook window; removing them at 145°F keeps boneless chops tender and juicy.
  • Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble the chops and stuffing layer in the slow cooker crock the night before, cover, and chill in the fridge. When ready to cook, place the crock into the base and add approximately 30 minutes to the total cooking time to account for the cold start.
