I love coming up with great Sunday dinners and Slow Cooker Parmesan Pork Chops was another great hit. This is a creamy dish with a great Parmesan flavor. With the sweet potatoes it adds some nice nutrition to the dish as well. The color of the sweet potato gives your dish a great pop as well.
You will need a 6.5 or larger Slow Cooker (If you don’t have one this large, you’ll want to cut the recipe in half and just do one layer). You’ll want a basting brush, cutting board and knife, mixing bowl and measuring spoons/cups .
I like to use Cream of Onion with this recipe since I’m not adding onion itself to the dish. You can also use Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Celery.
I served Slow Cooker Parmesan Pork Chops with just the pork chops, sweet potatoes and sauce. However you can serve this over rice, pasta or even regular mashed potatoes. If you prefer you could swap the sweet potatoes for pearl or similar size potatoes, fresh green beans or baby carrots. You could even make a separate mashed sweet potatoes or mashed cauliflower and just serve the pork chops and sauce over. Remember with the cauliflower that it takes on the sauce flavor that you are using, so you’ll want to mix some residual sauce and juices into it to calm that cauli flavor down. Experiment!
