Crockpot Pork Chops & Stuffing
Sometimes you just crave a comfort food classic, and for those days, I highly recommend trying this crockpot pork chops and stuffing recipe! I’ve served it up on countless lazy Sundays over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, though it’s also special enough to enjoy for Thanksgiving or Christmas if you want to shake things up a bit whilst keeping it super simple.
This cozy recipe layers tender pork chops in the slow cooker with onions, celery, and garlic, then smothers them in a creamy mix of soup and broth. A buttery stuffing topping goes right over the top, soaking up all those savory juices as everything cooks low and slow. After a few hours, you’ll have fork-tender pork, golden stuffing, and the kind of homestyle comfort that makes everyone go back for seconds!

Ingredients
I know that many regular readers prefer a printable recipe card so they can print it off and pop it into a folder at home for when they want to make things again. And so I’ve included one for you at the bottom of this post! I do recommend reading through the next sections too though, as I’ll be giving more details about the recipe and sharing extra tips to guide you along the way.
-
Pork chops – choose thick-cut chops so they stay juicy during that long, slow cook.
-
Onion – adds a touch of sweetness and depth to the sauce as it simmers.
-
Celery – brings a little crunch and classic stuffing flavor.
-
Garlic – for that savory, aromatic base every good crockpot recipe needs.
-
Cream of mushroom soup – gives the dish its creamy, comforting texture and rich flavor.
-
Chicken broth – keeps everything moist and flavorful while the pork cooks low and slow.
-
Stuffing mix – use your favorite flavor! It soaks up all those buttery juices and turns golden on top.
-
Butter, melted – helps the stuffing crisp just enough around the edges while staying soft underneath.
How To Make Crockpot Pork Chops & Stuffing
-
Lay the pork chops in the bottom of your crockpot, then sprinkle the onions, celery, and garlic right over the top.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth until smooth, then pour that creamy goodness over the pork chops.
-
Using the same bowl (because we love fewer dishes), stir together the stuffing mix and melted butter until evenly coated.
-
Spread the buttery stuffing mixture over the top of the pork chops and sauce.
-
Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and reach at least 145°F inside.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3–4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat on the stovetop over medium heat for about 10–12 minutes, until everything’s warmed through. Add a splash of broth if needed to bring back that creamy texture.
Recipe Notes & Tips
-
Thicker pork chops work best here, as they’ll stay juicy during the long cook time.
-
If your stuffing looks a little dry toward the end, drizzle in a few tablespoons of chicken broth before serving.
-
You can prep everything in the crockpot the night before, cover it, and refrigerate overnight. Just pop it in the slow cooker the next morning and let it do its thing.
-
For a little color and freshness, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving. It adds a nice pop against all those cozy flavors.
Substitutes & Variations
-
Pork options: You can use either bone-in or boneless pork chops — or even swap in pork tenderloin if that’s what you’ve got on hand.
-
Other proteins: This recipe also works beautifully with chicken breasts, chicken thighs, turkey, or turkey tenderloin. Just adjust the cooking time as needed so the meat stays tender.
-
Soup swap: No cream of mushroom? No problem. Cream of chicken or cream of celery soup both work great.
-
Stuffing mix: Any flavor of boxed stuffing mix will do — sage, chicken, cornbread, or savory herb all pair perfectly.
-
Festive twist: Add whole cranberries while it cooks or serve with a side of cranberry sauce for a cozy holiday version.
Serving Ideas
-
Pair these creamy pork chops and stuffing with mashed potatoes or roasted baby potatoes to soak up every bit of that savory sauce.
-
Add a side of green beans, steamed broccoli, or roasted carrots for a little color and balance.
-
For a cozy fall or holiday meal, serve with a spoonful of cranberry sauce or apple compote. The sweet-tart flavor pairs perfectly with the savory pork and stuffing.
-
Round out the meal with a crisp side salad or a slice of buttered dinner roll for classic comfort food vibes.
