Slow Cooker Minnesota Pork Chop Casserole

Slow Cooker Minnesota Pork Chops are tender chops in creamy brown and wild rice!

I saw this recipe for Minnesota Pork Chops on a friends blog Norine’s Nest. I knew the minute I saw this recipe I had to try it in the slow cooker. I am guessing this recipe is named Minnesota pork chops because wild rice is grown in Minnesota. Though after I had made the recipe I looked at my box of wild rice and saw that it is from California, but I decided to not call this California pork chops, where ever you get your wild rice from this meal will be good.

I didn’t change much from Norine’s recipe except I did used Minute® rice and wild rice instead of a rice blend. Minute rice always does well for me as does wild rice in the slow cooker. Did you know that wild rice isn’t actually rice it’s really a grain, no wonder there is such a texture difference.

I really enjoyed the flavor of the mushrooms with the wild rice. The pork chops were very tender as well.

    Hi Sarah, this is the first cooking site that I have come across that is dedicated to Slow Cooking. Yeah!!!! I love that you came up with the idea for this site. I am disabled and my husband has several heart problems, but gets around much better than I do. I have a motorized wheelchair, which really helps me get around some. I use to be in the kitchen cooking and baking, but now, I don’t do much. Just found the Crock Pot Liners, boy what a blessing they are! I can’t lift the crock out of the base and my husband shouldn’t be lifting it either. I have made 3 meals in the crock pot since the first of the month, which is amazing!!!
    Anyway, I would like to sign up for an email newsletter, if you have one.
    Would you please let me know if you do…or I’ll just go over to your web site once a week or so.
    Thank you so much, Linda

    I made this for supper last night, and it was amazing! Leftovers for lunch today had the review of ‘this is right up there with hot beef’, you can’t get much higher than that in my house! Thank you for a simple, great tasting recipe that’ll be on regular rotation in this MN home.
