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 here. 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.

Tried this tonight, pork chops were ok, didn’t care for the potatoes. My husband gave this recipe a 1 1/2 out of 5.
This was great! I like to tweak every recipe I use though. So instead of spraying the pot, I buttered it with a soft spatula. I also added a little onion powder and rubbed on the seasonings. I did not have sliced cheese but the shredded turned out awesome.
If you are wondering if you can cook it longer, you can! (I had classes all day.) I had my crock pot on for 8 hours on low heat. Worked like a charm.
Thanks for the tips Sarah!
My husband hates BBQ sauce. Could I substitute w something different? Like maybe A-1?
I personally wouldn’t use A-1, it would be too strong. You could go another direction and use cream of mushroom soup with a little milk mixed in and some seasonings? Sorry I am not too much help!
Glad you asked that question as well my husband doesn’t like it neither. How did it turn out? Did you still use the bacon and cheese?
So I don’t know what happened with mine. It sounded so delicious!! But it wasn’t A good majority of the potatoes were undercooked and the chops turned into bricks. I reeeeaaaalllly wanted to love this one!
did you leave the lid on the entire time? That would effect the potatoes cooking, and not let the pork get tender.
Can this go on low for 8 hours instead?
I have not tried it. The sugar in the barbecue sauce could make it burn around the edges.
Loved the pork chops(didn’t add the cheese) but…the potatoes weren’t a hit=( too much with the bbq sauce. Will make again with out the potatoes. Thanks!
Its in the crockpot as I type. I am really looking forward to tonights dinner
Do you brown the chops first? Plan on making it this Thursday.
I did not brown them first. You can if you want, it wouldn’t hurt the recipe.
Made the Slow Cooker chops and Potatoes and thoroughly enjoyed it. So simple and so good. I left out the bacon and cheese. This is a keeper.
So great to hear!
Making it for dinner tonight. I debated if I should cook on low for 6 hours? I used sweet baby rays hickory &brown sugar. Our favorite. Has anyone tried it on low? If so how did it turn out. Thanks
How did they turn out on low?
Yes – I also wanted to cook them on low (while at work). Did it work out okay?
Did try out with the chicken. Like try it
I’ll try it, replacing bbq sauce with garlic butter.
Wow sounds perfect too.
Yes I hate the banner on the side as well. But I would also like to know how the potatoes taste covered with bbq sauce…
what device are you using? My laptop, PC and mobile the banner isn’t close to the recipe. I really want to fix this but don’t know where to look to see where the problem is. I have an iPhone, do you have something different maybe?
Ipad, i also had a problem getting to it.
I took away that side bar, there was no fix it. I hope you can view the recipe better now.
I made this recipe today and added a little baby rays sweet chili add a little something
And I added carrots no cheese no bacon
Came out amazing what a flavor thanks for the recipe
The banner for sharing on the left hand side of the page makes it very hard to read the recipe. 🙁
Do the porkchops have to be thawed?
Yes
Is it good with rice
I’m about ready to do this but going use Chicken Breast instead let you all no how it turns out
How did it turn out with the chicken? I was thinking of doing the same thing.
