Stuffed pork chops are incredibly good. You have many options for the stuffing out there; with this particular recipe, your pork chops will be getting stuffed with a stuffing mix. Stuffing is commonly used in turkey, but why can't it be used in other meats?
Aside from the pork chops and stuffing mix, you'll need butter, a small onion, oil, white wine or chicken broth, salt, and pepper. You'll need to brown the pork chops prior to putting them in the slow cooker, so make sure you give yourself enough time to do that.
This recipe will need to spend eight to nine hours in the slow cooker. If you want to throw it in before work, you'll need to get up a little earlier to give yourself enough time to brown the chops beforehand. Getting up a bit earlier will be worth it to come home to dinner already finished!
Another option is to make this recipe overnight. If you choose to go with this method, you'll need to have a large enough container to store the chops until dinner. Make sure they're reheated thoroughly before serving! As long as these chops cook for the right amount of time, it doesn't matter when you put them in the slow cooker!
