These pork chops are slow cooked with potatoes and stuffing mix for a wonderful everyday supper. Brown the pork chops before adding them to the slow cooker, or skip that step if you're short on time.
Feel free to add some chopped apples to the stuffing mix, or use a basic stuffing mix and add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of dried cranberries.
This combination of pork chops and stuffing makes a nearly complete meal. Just add some steamed broccoli or green beans, or add a tossed salad or slaw. Prepare an envelope of pork or chicken gravy if you'd like.
