Welcome back everyone. Today we are
making crock pot pork chops, apples, and
stuffing. Doesn't that sound like the
perfect way to start fall with in your
slow cooker?
Here's my Granny Smith apples. Okay, but
first thing we need to do is we're going
to sear up our pork chops to get them
nice and tender, flavorful, and lock in
those juices. So, you're going to take
your pork chops, whatever pork chops
you're using. Now, mine are about half
inch thick, and they're boneless. And
these are the center cut from the pork
loin. And we're going to salt.
[Applause]
And we're going to put some black pepper
across them.
We're going to place some garlic powder.
We're going to do one side. And then as
we put them into the pan to cook, we'll
do the other side. And some onion
powder. All right, let's add some oil to
a large skillet. We're going to put this
on a medium high heat and get this nice
and hot. I got about 2 tablespoons of
oil going in. Now, once your oil starts
simmering, we're going to add our pork
chop, seasoning side down.
I'm going to try to get all of these in
there. Now, if you can't get them all in
there, you can do these in two batches,
but I think we got it. We're looking to
get these nice and golden brown on the
bottom side. Now, we're going to season
this side. Some salt,
black pepper.
If you don't want to do this step, you
don't have to do this step. You don't
have to sear them at all, but why would
you not want to? It'll give it a nice
color. They'll lock in these seasonings.
They'll be nice and tender. Got garlic
powder going right across the top. And
some onion powder. I want these to look
nice.
There we go. Give them a few minutes and
we'll flip them over. Now, while the
pork chops are searing, I am going to
bring you over here to the celery and
the onion and the apple that I'm going
to be chopping up. Now, I'm just taking
half of the base of the celery here.
I've already rinsed it off. I'm just
going to run my knife through it.
Get nice size pieces.
Cutting through that flower part, too,
on the inside.
Oh, those pork chops. I'm telling you,
when you start searing pork chops, you
know it's fall.
I love to bring out pork chop recipes
for the fall. I think that's plenty
right there.
We are going to be adding some celery
soup later to this dish also. Perfect.
Put that off to the side. We're going to
take a large onion. Now, I don't make
any dish unless there's an onion in it
somewhere.
So, I've got a large yellow onion. I'm
going to take off both ends, the outer
layer. I'm going to cut the onion in
half. And then I'm just going to chop it
up. Pretty big pieces, decent size,
because it'll melt inside of here.
There we go. You know who's in the
kitchen.
All right, let's cut it in half.
I'm just going to run my knife through
pretty big slices here.
There we go. These will melt down.
Let's check those pork chops.
Woo! Look at that. You're not getting
that. You need to wait.
We'll get the other side now.
All right, we'll give them a few more
minutes on this side. We'll finish the
apples.
Okay, we've got two Granny Smith apples.
Now, if you want to use red apples, you
can do that also.
These add a nice tartness to the dish.
I'm going to take off
the four sides of the apple here.
And then Thomas will eat the core later,
or I should say around the core. Right.
There we go. I know it.
And what we're going to do is just take
it and just cut it into bite-sized
pieces. And these will get nice and
soft.
Nice and juicy.
Nice and juicy. Those pork chops are
smelling delicious.
Now, we're going to do to the vegetables
here and the apples like what we did to
the pork chops. Yeah. We're going to add
some color to this. Do the last apple
here. There we go. Pass it on. Here we
go. These will soften considerably.
We're going to leave them on the skin so
they don't disappear.
If you want to take the skins off of the
apples, you can. We're going to go check
our pork chops. I'm going to pull them
out of the pan and we're going to add
all of this. All right, let's see what
we got. Yeah, there's some color to
them. I'm going to give them one more
minute.
All right, let's remove them.
Now, once we get these all out, I'm
going to add a little bit of extra oil
to the pan.
Woo! Look at that. Yeah.
Woo.
All right. Now, what you do to one, you
got to do to the other. So, we're going
to season the same way. Little bit of
salt, cracked black pepper, garlic
powder, onion powder. I'm going to sear
these for just about two to three
minutes.
Want to get some color on it. All right,
I'm going to take some cooking oil and
I'm just going to spray the inside of
the crock pot
and keep everything from sticking
because we're going to have some
stuffing go in there. We don't want them
sticking to the sides of our dish.
There. Doesn't that look like fall in
there? It not only looks like fall, but
it smells like fall. I'm going to go
ahead and turn this off now and let's
start layering in our crock pot. Now,
I'm going to place half of our apples,
onions, and celery into the bottom of
our crock pot that we've already
prepared.
What a nice little bed down there the
pork chops to lay on. There we go.
Y'all see in there? Yep. That's what
we're looking for right there. Now,
let's place all the pork chops on top.
And these will get nice and tender in
the crock pot.
Don't forget all the juices.
All right, we're going to take the rest
of the apple, celery, and onions and
pour it right on top. Nice layer.
We'll just smooth it out.
All right, we're going to need two cans
of cream of soup. Now, I'm going to be
using the celery soup. That'll make it
smell like fall. You can use cream of
chicken
if you want to do that. If you want to
do a cream of mushroom soup, you can do
that. Or you can mix and match. If you
want to do a cream of mushroom, a cream
of celery, these are the 10 oz cans, two
of them.
And then we're going to add in one can.
I'm just going to fill it up with some
chicken broth. Get that all stirred.
I'm just going to grab a whisk, blend
this together,
and then we're going to pour this on top
of the pork chops, apples, celery, and
onions. Now, if you want to season this
layer, that's fine. I think I got enough
seasonings in there. I'm not going to
worry about it. All right, let's bring
it over.
And we're going to pour it all on top.
That'll make a nice gravy, too. Make
sure it's nice and evenly spread out.
All right, let's get that stuffing.
In a medium bowl, you want to make sure
it's microwave safe. I melted 3
tablespoon of butter. To that, we're
going to add one package of stove top
stuffing mix. Now, I'm using the
cornbread. You can use whatever flavor
you like. This is the 6 oz box.
And then we're going to add one cup of
chicken broth.
Help get those bread crumbs
moistened up.
That looks about right.
You need to add more. Add more. Oh my
gosh, you guys. It's starting to smell
like the holidays in here. We're getting
close, huh?
We're definitely getting close to the
holidays. Add a little bit more.
All right. Once we get this all
moistened,
we're going to add it to our crock pot
on top of the cream of soup mixture.
Just going to sprinkle it all on top.
Oo, you excited? I'm going to spread
that out just a little bit.
Leave it just on top. Don't mix it in.
Okay, we're going to place the lid on
it. All right, we're going to cook this
on high approximately 4 hours or you can
cook it on low for 6 hours. Now, this is
all going to depend on the size of your
pork chops and how tender you want them.
All right, you guys. We'll come back.
I'm going to show you the finished
product. Our house is going to smell
amazing. Okay, you guys, look at that.
my crockot, pork chops, apples, and
stuffing. It's a slow cooker recipe for
the fall. It smells delicious. I let it
rest for about 20 minutes to kind of
pull itself all together.
We got the spoon.
Let's go in. Oh,
let's plate this up. Doesn't that bowl
up beautiful?
Yeah, look at that pork chop, those
apples. It's going to add a nice little
sweetness to it. Got the stuffing and
that soup mixture. All right, here's my
bite.
Oh my gosh, that is so delicious.
Thomas already came by and had a pork
chop out of the crock pot, you guys.
Why do you got to tell on me?
I know. That's what's left right here.
Oh my goodness, you guys. Oh, if you
want to put another apple in there, you
go and do that.
All right, you guys. Oh,
y'all give me a thumbs up on this one.
