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.
