Crock-Pot Pork Chop Casserole

If you are looking for quick and easy, then you will love this crock-pot pork chop casserole. Delicious pork chops slow-cooked in a creamy sauce with potatoes, onion, and cheese. An easy weeknight dinner solution that can be put in the crock-pot; warm and waiting when you get home from a long day.

Since I discovered a better and healthier alternative to canned cream of soups, I have a whole list of old recipes I want to make using the new soups. First on my list was this pork chop casserole that my mama used to make.

I think the original recipe called for cream of mushroom soup. Mama is not a mushroom eater, so she made this casserole with cream of chicken soup instead. She only made it a few times, but I have always remembered it and would make it from time to time.

The original recipe was made in the oven, but I decided to try it out in the crock-pot. Here’s what I made this crock-pot pork chop casserole:

The night before:
Prepare the cream of chicken soup. Allow it to cool and pour it into an airtight container. (Or skip this step and use canned soup.)

Slice the potatoes and onions ¼-inches thick. Place the onions inside an airtight container. Place the potato slices into a bowl. Cover with water.

Shred cheese and place into an airtight container.

Refrigerate the cream of chicken soup, potatoes, and cheese ingredients until needed.

When ready to set the crock-pot:

Line the crock-pot with a liner – These things look ridiculous, but save so much time cleaning up, especially with foods without much liquid. I call them crock-pot condoms. 

Layer the potato slices, onions inside the crock-pot. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Season the pork chops with salt and fresh cracked black pepper; place them on top of the potatoes and onions.

Mix the cream of chicken soup with 1 cup of water. Pour over the pork chops.

Top with cheese, reserving about ¼-cup. Return the reserved cheese to the refrigerator.

Cover the crock-pot and set for 6 to 8 hours on low heat.

Garnish with the pork chop casserole sprinkled with some of the remaining cheese and fresh parsley.

The pork chop casserole turned out well. Even His Royal Highness like it. I am not a big crock-pot fan and I believe it would be even better if the pork chops were browned and the casserole was baked in the oven.

I have a few more recipes to try out that uses cream of soups, but this will happen again!
