A Summer Easy Crockpot Pork Chop Favorite
When summer takes me into the garden and away from the kitchen, this easy crockpot pork chop recipe is one that is my husband’s favorite. It’s an easy way to use the crockpot with pork chops and step away from the stove to have ready at the end of the day.
I love that on a busy summer day when I simply don’t have to think.
Crockpot Pork Chop Favorite
This recipe begins with ingredients that I have on hand.
When the pandemic began, I found myself buying things in bulk. A bag of Jasmine rice tucked into a 5 gallon lidded bucket, cream of chicken soup in cases, boxes of Italian dressing mixes were all added to my pantry. When I find great prices on meat, pork loin and chops are added to my freezer.
Thinking ahead is part of that home economics teacher background that is just simply a basic skills life lesson for me for food preparation.
You know that canning is my passion and adding to the freezer during production months–a true favorite.
So, back to that crockpot pork chop favorite.
Many people tend to only think of crock pot use during the winter months. For me, the crockpot heats the kitchen up less during those summer months than the stove, so I often use mine then…especially when recipes provide a great meal at the end of a busy day.
For some of you it may be a solution to game day meal times or pool days when exhaustion takes over at meal preparation time.
So, let’s begin with this easy crockpot pork chop recipe…
- Add pork chops or loins to the bottom of your crockpot.
- Top with a mixture of softened cream cheese and cream of chicken soup.
- Sprinkle with a packet of Italian Dressing mix.
- Heat on low for 4-5 hours.
- Serve over a bed of rice with your favorite side.
- Enjoy!
And, here’s the recipe for you to pin or print:

How easy and delicious. Today mine was served with those green beans I canned last summer and fresh local grown tomatoes. Yum!
Feel free to serve with a simple salad to make it less “comfort” and a lighter summer meal.
An easy fix to summer days that saves time, heat from a stove, and provides a meal ready at the end of a busy day.
A true favorite–with pork chops OR chicken. Switch it up. Your family will love you.
