This slow cooker meal is layered with potatoes, onions, barbecue sauce, pork chops, cheese and bacon! A perfect comforting meal.
Hi, Slow Cooker Friends! What could be better than pork and barbecue sauce? I wanted to make a pork recipe in the slow cooker that wasn’t the usual pulled pork. To my slow cooker, I added pork chops, sliced potatoes, and onions and covered that in barbecue sauce, THEN topped that with bacon and cheese! YUM!
I used an entire bottle of my favorite barbecue sauce Sweet Baby Ray’s. There are so many flavors to choose from, don’t feel like you have to use the original flavor in this recipe, see the other flavors Sweet Baby Ray’s has to offer. I’m going to try the Sweet Golden Mustard next time!
We had a busy weekend of birthday parties and girl scouts. This meal was easy to set up and get going on our way out the door. When we got home I cooked up bacon in the oven, then added that bacon and Colby-Jack Cheese on top of the pork. I often make a big salad on Sunday night for lunches later in the week. I used that salad for a fresh side for this meal.

Look at that beautiful sauce! The pork juices and the barbecue sauce baste the potatoes perfectly! I hope you try this hearty meal. Which Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce will you choose? Have a great week!

will this work if the chops are not all the way thawed?
DO YOU ADD ANY WATER TO THE CROCKPOT WHEN YOU COOK THE POTATOES AND ONIONS RECIPE? No! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE POSTED OR ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT THIS RECIPE!!
No, the pork will let out it’s own liquid for this dish.
do we have to add cheese if we don’t have to
I wanted to try this with sweet potatoes instead of russet. Would it be the same in the crock pot?
Also, if I decided to bake the sweet potatoes instead, can I just put the pork chops in by themselves?
Is there an oven baked option?
Hi Lauren, you can probably cook sweet potatoes instead of russet. I think it would be fine with out potatoes. I have no idea on oven times.
I’m about to try it with the family, it smells delicious! Thanks (:
Have boneless 3/4 inch pork chops. Told her to cut thicker but she didn’t. Large oval crockpot. How long on low?
Made it today pork chops feel apart were so tender n good! Potatoes were good also. I didn’t do the bacon n cheese just the bbq sauce will be doing this again in the future I’m sure.
Loved this recipe. Cooked in slow cooker and left out bacon and cheese. Sliced potatoes thin…delish
These are the best pork chops I’ve ever ate! So good! Thanks for sharing!
What is the calorie count on this?
OMG this was soooo good! I did a few variations: sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes , added chopped garlic, no bacon or cheese. I didn’t have Sweet Baby Rays but used a smokey bbq sauce. Also, cooked it in the oven at 325 for an hour, potatoes were not done. 425 another half hour and they were perfect! Thank you for sharing!
Sweet potatoes are such a great idea!
I’ve made this recipe numerous times now and my non-meat eating kids even love it. I’ve used both thick and thin sliced chops. I’ve used multiple flavors of bbq sauce. I’ve even made it with just the porkchops and no onions, potatoes, bacon, or cheese. I’ve cooked for both 4 hours on high and 8 hours on low. Every time it has turned out amazing. The chops are always tender. Potatoes always cook. The number one key to this recipe is to NOT take the lid off while cooking. But this a good rule to all crockpot recipes. This is a family favorite and requested at least once a week. Side note: we never ate porkchops in our house before this recipe.
This was delicious! I mde it for the first time tonight and my husband said they were the best pork chops ever!
Hi Sarah! Had this for lunch today and it was really delish! However, the onions seemed to have disappeared! The chops were tender, but probably should have pulled them out about 45 minutes before finish. Back to the onions, I think next time I will carmelize them and put on top of chops after cheese and bacon. Thanks for the recipe!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe tomorrow. It’ll be nice to come home after work and be able to rest with my family to start the weekend. Thanks! Will let you know how the fam likes it. 🙂
That’s great Misty! I hope you like it!
