How To Make Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes And Pork Chops

1. Brown the pork chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown on both sides for about 1 minute per side. Set aside.
2. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, milk, and minced garlic. Set aside.
3. Layer the potatoes and onion: Add sliced potatoes and diced onion to the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the first layer of sauce and cheese: Pour half of the sauce mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
5. Add pork chops: Place browned pork chops in a single layer over the cheese.
6. Top with remaining sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
7. Slow cook the meal: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, until potatoes are tender and pork is fully cooked.
8. Garnish and serve: Top with sliced green onions before serving. Spoon extra sauce over each portion.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use boneless pork chops? Yes, but thick-cut bone-in chops add more flavor and stay juicier.
• Do I need to peel the potatoes? It’s optional—peeled potatoes make for a creamier texture, but unpeeled adds a rustic feel.
• How to avoid overcooked pork? Don’t cook past 6 hours on low. If using thinner chops, reduce cooking time.
• Can I use a different cheese? Yes! Cheddar or mozzarella can be swapped in, but the Colby Jack blend melts especially well.
• What slow cooker size should I use? A 5-quart or larger oval slow cooker works best for even layering.

FAQs

Can I cook this on high instead of low?
It’s best cooked on low for even, tender results. High heat can dry out the pork.

What kind of potatoes work best?
Russet potatoes are ideal—they slice well and hold up during long cooking.

Can I prep this the night before?
Yes! Assemble everything in the slow cooker insert, refrigerate overnight, then start it in the morning.

Do I have to brown the pork first?
Yes, for best flavor. Searing locks in juices and adds color to the dish.

Can I double this recipe?
Yes, but use a larger slow cooker (6-8 quarts) to ensure even cooking.
