Notes
An optional step is to sear the seasoned pork chops in a hot skillet before placing them in the slow cooker. This step enhances the flavor by creating a nice crust.
Mix in corn, beans, or even chunky salsa if desired.
Add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
Garnish the casserole with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving for a burst of freshness.
Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat the casserole gently to avoid overcooking the pork chops. A microwave at 50% power or reheating on the stovetop works well.
