Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In another bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream (if using), chopped onion, and minced garlic. This mixture will create a rich, flavorful base that keeps the pork chops tender during slow cooking.
Step 4: Layer the Crockpot
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot. Begin by spreading a thin layer of the creamy sauce on the bottom. Place the pork chops on top in a single layer.
Next, spread the remaining sauce evenly over the pork chops. Finally, add the prepared stuffing mixture on top, covering the chops completely.
Step 5: Cook Low and Slow
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook:
- On low: 6–7 hours
- On high: 3–4 hours
The slow cooking process allows the pork chops to become incredibly tender while the stuffing absorbs all the delicious juices.
Step 6: Check for Doneness
The pork chops should be fork-tender and fully cooked through. If you have a thermometer, the internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Carefully serve the pork chops with a generous scoop of stuffing on top. Spoon some of the creamy sauce from the crockpot over everything for extra flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose thicker pork chops to prevent them from drying out
- Don’t overcook – even in a crockpot, pork can become too soft if left too long
- Add vegetables like green beans or carrots for a complete meal
- Customize the stuffing by adding chopped celery, apples, or herbs
