Slow Cooker Parmesan Crusted Chops is a dish that is adapted from a regular casserole dish. We love having Pork for Sunday Dinner so this was a fun meal to put together and eat. This is not a quick dish to put together, so you’ll need to do it when you have enough time BUT when you brown meat and then slow cook it, it tastes divine. Even better this recipe is browning the parmesan and spices into the meat.
You will want to use either a large Slow Cooker or a Casserole Slow Cooker. You will need a large flat flying pan, tongs, wide flat bowl, measuring spoons/cups, cutting board and knife.
Slow Cooker Parmesan Crusted Chops can still be made in your oven as a casserole instead. You’ll need a casserole dish, and then you will follow basically the same instructions as the slow cooker version. To bake you will cook them for about an hour at 350 if the chops are one inch thick, If they are regular thickness, you’ll want 350 for 30 minutes. Be sure to check temps with a meat thermometer.
Slow Cooker Parmesan Crusted Chops is like most of my recipes. You can swap out many of the ingredients. Chicken Breasts instead of Pork Chops. Potato Slices instead of carrot chips. Homemade bread crumbs. Use what you already have on hand. That’s how we can be frugal.
