Slow Cooker Pigs in a Cornfield is corn on the cob, pork and even potatoes cooked together for an easy hearty meal.
This recipe Slow Cooker Pigs in a Cornfield is a request from a gentleman named Buford, a fan from my YouTube channel. Before he suggested this recipe, I had not heard of this recipe before. I was almost nervous to search for it. After I did a little research, I knew that this recipe would cook up great in the slow cooker. Thank you, Buford, for suggesting I try this.
How to make Pigs in a Cornfield:
The recipe starts with frozen halves of corn on the cob.
Then I add potatoes and onion in between.
Then I topped that with pork chops and bacon.
A mixture of cream of mushroom soup, milk and seasonings goes over everything in the pot.
7 hours later and this is what the meal looks like.
The recipe isn’t easy on the eyes, but sure tastes good!

Can you convert this to an instant pot recipe?
At this time, I do not have time to test every recipe with a pressure cooker. Sorry!
On the Instant Pot. Just press your slow cook button until you get it to the low setting.
OMG I’m so making this soon as we get to the store to get what I need. It looks like you used boneless chops, am I correct? Just signed up and am excited to get more. Thanks
Yes, boneless is what I used, but really any pork chop will work fine.
Will fresh corn be ok to substitute for frozen?
I have not tried yet. If anyone tries this with fresh corn, please give us an update on how it worked.
Looks amazing, have two questions, 1. Have you tested this recipe with fresh corn, and 2. If I don’t want to use canned soup, would a white sauce with sauteed mushrooms work as well?
I’m unsure about the fresh corn. But bone in chops should work fine!
Here’s a homemade cream of mushroom soup – dairy free: https://www.realfoodwithjessica.com/2015/05/29/healthy-cream-of-mushroom/
Also waiting for answers to the previous questions. Boneless or bone-in chops? Can I use fresh corn instead of frozen???
How can it serve six when there are only four pork chops?
It will only serve 4 if you want an entire chop. 6 if you split them up.
Can anyone suggest anything other than mushroom soup? Not a favorite of mine
My daughter doesn’t like mushrooms but love green bean casserole so I use Cream of celery soup in it so I bet that would work here too
What about cream of celery, cream of chicken soup?
Maybe use cream celery or chicken soup,,,I might even try a pack of country gravy,,,
cream of celery or onion if you can find it.
Can I use frozen corn not on the cob. And I can how much
I think a bag would work fine, a few cups.
Could you use chicken in this recipe? It looks so delicious. Thanks
Made this today and thought it was fantastic!!!! One tweak I’ll do next time is season the potatoes and the chops just for a little flavor. Thanks for the recipe and definitely will make again.
Glad you liked it Keith. Thank you for the tip 🙂
I’m trying out this recipe but am a lil short on time. Can I flip it over to high after a few hours to speed up cooking?
Yes, that would work fine.
Should I sear the port chops first before putting in crockpot to keep juices in
Marvelous!!!!! I don’t even like potatoes cooked in the slow cooker but this is recipe is something else. If you like bland food, follow the recipe. Otherwise, generously season the potatoes with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme (oregano or basil) before placing in the slow cooker. I also seasoned the bone-in pork chops with my favorite spices. I cooked this overnight and I woke up to a wonderful smell. I had a plate for breakfast (don’t judge 🙂 ). Wow, that was GREAT! This recipe is a keeper, no doubt! Thank you for sharing!
