How to Make Pork Chop & Stuffing Bake
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Place them in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer when possible.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and sour cream until smooth.
Pour about half of the mixture over the pork chops.
Step 3: Add the Stuffing
Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package directions, using the appropriate amount of liquid specified on the package.
Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the pork chops.
Pour the remaining creamy sauce over the top.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), followed by a 3-minute rest.
- LOW: Approximately 3–4 hours
- HIGH: Approximately 1½–2½ hours
Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the pork chops and your slow cooker. Check the temperature early to prevent the pork from becoming dry.
Step 5: Serve
Carefully lift the pork chops onto serving plates and spoon plenty of the creamy stuffing over the top.
Serve warm with your favorite vegetables.
Tips for the Best Pork Chop & Stuffing Bake
- Use thicker pork chops: They tend to stay juicier during slow cooking.
- Don’t overcook the pork: Pork chops are lean and can dry out quickly.
- Don’t add too much liquid: Stuffing needs moisture, but excess liquid can make it mushy.
- Check your stuffing package: Different brands and varieties require different amounts of liquid.
- Use a thermometer: Pork should reach 145°F (63°C), followed by a 3-minute rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops?
Yes. Bone-in chops can be used, but they may require additional cooking time. Always check the internal temperature rather than relying only on the cooking time.
Can I use frozen pork chops?
No. Thaw pork chops completely in the refrigerator before cooking them in the slow cooker.
Why is my stuffing too wet?
Too much liquid can make stuffing mushy. Follow the liquid measurements on your stuffing package and avoid adding extra broth unless needed.
Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare the creamy sauce and stuffing ingredients ahead of time, but keep the raw pork refrigerated separately until you’re ready to cook.
How do I store leftovers?
Store the pork and stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Can I freeze this recipe?
Yes, although the texture of the creamy stuffing may change slightly after freezing. Store cooled leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 2–3 months.
