🥩 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Stuffing Crust: The Cozy, One-Pot Dinner That Feels Like Sunday Supper—Any Night of the Week!

The 4-Ingredient Magic:

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick—bone-in keeps them juicy!)
• 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth (or low-sodium for control)
• 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (classic herb-seasoned—like Stove Top)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)

Seasoning (Essential!):

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• Salt & black pepper to taste

 Gluten-free? Use GF stuffing mix (like Aleia’s or homemade GF breadcrumbs + herbs).
 Dairy-free? Swap butter for avocado oil or vegan butter.

 Step-by-Step Instructions (Effortless & Foolproof!)

1. Prep & Season the Pork Chops

• Pat chops dry with paper towels (this helps them absorb flavor).
• In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Rub seasoning evenly over both sides of each chop.

2. Layer in the Slow Cooker

• Pour chicken broth into the bottom of a 4–6 quart slow cooker.
• Place seasoned pork chops in a single layer on top of the broth.

 Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours (or HIGH for 2–2.5 hours)—until pork reaches 145°F internally.

3. Make the Stuffing Crust

• In a bowl, combine stuffing mix and melted butter.
• Stir in 2–3 tbsp of the hot broth from the slow cooker (this adds moisture and flavor).

4. Add the Crust & Finish

• About 20–30 minutes before serving, spoon the stuffing mixture over each pork chop.
• Cover and let cook until the stuffing is warm and slightly crisp on top (it won’t be fried-crisp, but beautifully tender-golden).

 For extra crispiness: Transfer chops to a baking sheet, top with stuffing, and broil 2–3 minutes before serving!

 Pro Tips for Perfect Results Every Time

• Use bone-in pork chops—they stay juicier and add rich flavor to the broth
• Don’t skip patting chops dry—wet meat steams instead of absorbing seasoning
• Avoid overcooking—pork chops dry out fast! Use a meat thermometer (145°F = perfect)
• Double the stuffing if your family loves it (it’s the star for many!)
• Make it ahead: Assemble in the slow cooker insert the night before; refrigerate, then cook next day

 Common Questions Answered

Can I use boneless pork chops?
Yes—but reduce cook time by 30–60 minutes to prevent dryness.

Can I make this in an Instant Pot?
Yes! Sear chops (optional), add broth, pressure cook 8 minutes, quick release, then top with stuffing and broil.

What stuffing mix works best?
Classic herb-seasoned (like Stove Top Savory Herbs). Avoid “cornbread” or “turkey flavor” unless you love those!

Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes—store in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Reheat gently with a splash of broth.
