Today I’m sharing my recipe for Slow Cooker Alpine Pork Chops. This recipe is a spin off from my recipe Slow Cooker Alpine Chicken but with pork instead. It’s a recipe I got from a friend named Kelliss. I haven’t found her exact recipe online which is rare nowadays. Though I found this interesting version of alpine chicken that has mayonnaise in it, I love that they made their own stuffing and add fresh veggies, that recipe looks worth trying too.

My favorite thing about this recipe is the crunchy almonds. Very rare a slow cooker recipe has great texture like this one. Stay tuned I may be adding almonds and other nuts to more recipes!

How to make this:

To start this recipe I start with my 6-quart oval slow cooker. I add boneless pork chops to the slow cooker, though bone-in works great too.

Next I add 8 slices of swiss cheese. I’m not a huge swiss cheese fan but in this recipe it melts into the next step, you’ll see and makes for a wonderful sauce.

The next layer is cream of chicken soup, milk and pepper. Very simple to mix together. This is the liquid for this recipe.

Next for the crunchy almonds. Note in this step that only half of the almonds go down. My friend Kellis does it this way and it’s a great crunchy layer.

The next photos is three more layers: stove top stuffing, butter and the rest of the almonds. The butter helps moisten the stuffing. I love using stove-top stuffing in recipes in the slow cooker, makes great casseroles. Cook this for 6 hours on low.

Here is what the casserole looks like after cooking for 6 hours. The edges get a little toasty and the cheesy creamy sauce forms.

This recipe for Slow Cooker Alpine Pork is very comforing and a complete meal, just needs some greens on the side.

I wasn’t sure how the pork would turn out in this dish, but the flavors were great. These pork chops turn out very tender and go great with the sauce, stuffing and almonds. This is a great dish to make for company or as a meal to bring to a family who needs help with dinner. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Have a great week.

Sarah’s Notes

Bone-in pork chops work great in this recipe too. Change up this recipe by using a different type of cheese such as pepper-jack or even gouda. Pecans can be used instead of almonds too if desired.

    Can you cook it then serve an hour or so later…does it dry out? Thank you

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      It will be fine if you keep the lid on and don’t stir it!

  2. Jerry says:

    I discovered that you should mix the dry stuffing in a bowl first before adding. The herbs can out of the packet in one clump.

  3. Jane says:

    Hi! Can cream of mushroom soup be used instead of cream of chicken?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Yes!

    This recipe is absolutely amazing! I have passed it along to several people and everyone loves it!! I do not add the almonds thoughโ€ฆjust not a huge fan. Thank you for a wonderful, easy, comfort food at its best recipe!

  5. Leslie says:

    Can you leave out the almonds altogether if thereโ€™s an allergy

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Yes!

  6. Leslie says:

    Can you use provolone cheese instead?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Provolone is a great choice for this recipe.

  7. Sandra Williams says:

    I have one question. When you add the stovetop stuffing, do you prepare the stovetop according to directions on the box, or do you just dumped in the dry ingredients that is in the bag? Your recipe says to just sprinkle over the stove top dressing mix. So I was wondering if that’s why the one person said it was dry, because if you are supposed to prepare it per the box instructions before you put it in the Crock-Pot that could definitely create a problem.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      You add it dry. Do not prepare.

  8. Shirley says:

    I canโ€™t eat whole nuts could I use crushed nuts instead?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Yes, of course! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love this recipe! I also add half cobs of corn on top around the edges. Makes a great meal.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Such a great idea, thank you.

  10. Ed White says:

    If you are preparing this for the first time, I would have a Plan B for dinner. I didn’t. Big mistake.
