Slow Cooker Pigs in a Cornfield is corn on the cob, pork and even potatoes cooked together for an easy hearty meal.
This recipe is so unique! Pork chops can be made in so many variations, also try my pork chop cacciatore or my pork chops and onions recipe.
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!

Mark "Dutch" Wilkins says
I am the original author of this recipe and named it from its design when I was doing a Dutch oven segment for channel 12 news several years ago here in Arizona. It has since been found used all over the world, adapted for different types of cooking, as well as alterations of the ingredients, but still holds true to the name. The first time I cooked it, we only lined with half-ears of corn, but found we had too much corn, so we alternated using kielbasa in between each corn cobette. Have used many different soups/combinations, as well as variations of vegetables, and have used other proteins but then we call it something else, like cluckers in the corn-patch.
Sarah Olson says
Hi Mark! Thank you for creating the recipe! I love your variations!
Amanda Booth says
Can you cook in Insta pot?
If so, do you know how long and what setting?
Sarah Olson says
Hi! I have not tested, I apologize.
Brittney says
Have you tried the instant pot yet? My sister sent me this recipe and I wanted to try it but don’t have 7 hours lol
Debbie says
I’ve tried with pork chops I’m going to try chicken breast should I cut in pieces or just leave whole
Sarah Olson says
I would cut into pieces or at least in half.
Kendra says
I made this tonight and it was a 10! I did season the potatoes and the chops (also used bone in chops) very well and cooked it exactly 7hrs without lifting the lid like it said. The chops were fall off the bone tender, the potatoes were perfectly cooked, and everything was seasoned well and delicious! Hubs said it was a 20/10! It will definitely be a regular monthly in this house.
Emily says
What did you use to season your potatoes and chops?
Nina says
Wouldn’t the corn be mushy from being in the slow cooker for 7 hrs?
Sarah Olson says
No, just as a can of corn in a chili doesn’t get mushy. And these start out frozen.
Debbie says
So yummy hubby kinda picky husband it for 2 days
Pat says
What?
J says
Food was good. Husband picky. Husband ate it for 2 days.
Jeff says
I will be trying a variation on this. In the household there are non-pork eaters, so chicken will be used. Also will be adding carrots.
And wondering if topping it with biscuits for the last hour would work? Hmm…may have to make this several times!
Sarah Olson says
The biscuits may be more like dumplings.
