I had an idea for this recipe. What if I put some lean pork chops, spinach and creamy salad dressing in a slow cooker, would it be good. They answer is yes but it won’t look good. When I made this the other day I thought there was no way my husband would eat it but I was wrong. He loved it! I made such a big batch and he ate it for the next two days. So don’t judge this low carb pork casserole by it’s pictures. It tastes way better than it looks. 🙂
Low Carb Pork Chop Casserole Ingredients
There are only 4 ingredients in this recipe: spinach, pork chops, garlic parmesan dressing and sun dried tomatoes. Originally I didn’t have the tomatoes in it but I felt it was a bit sour and the sun dried tomatoes gave it some sweetness to balance it out.
For the dressing I used Ken’s Garlic Parmesan dressing. I used the whole bottle but it produces quite a bit of sauce. You could probably cut that down to ¾ of bottle if you wish.
What Type Of Pork Do You Use?
I used a large package of boneless center cut pork chops I got from Aldi. It had 16 very small pork chops in the container and I used them all. This recipe makes 8 servings so you might want to scale it down a bit or freeze half of it. I think you could use any type of pork chops but they should be thin. You could also use pork loin chops or boneless pork ribs too.
Now For The Recipe
First add half a bag of spinach on the bottom of a slow cooker. Next layer half of the pork chops and then pour over half of the dressing. Then add the other half of spinach, the rest of the pork chops and dressing. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When it’s done, take off the lid and add in another bag of spinach. Slowly mix it in and it will wilt quickly. The first batch of spinach will cook down to nothing. That is why I added an extra bag because I wanted more volume.
Then add in the tomatoes and stir well. You can probably add the tomatoes earlier but it was an after thought for me.
Well I hope you enjoy this low carb pork chop casserole as much as my hubby did! If you don’t care about the carbs, add some cooked rice at the end and it will soak up all that juice. The nutritional information for 1 serving is:

Spray the pot of your slow cooker and then place ½ of the bag of spinach on the bottom.

Next layer half of the pork chops and pour half of the bottle of the dressing on top.
-
Add the rest of the bag of spinach, pork chops and dressing. Place on lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 or until the pork chops are cooked. Mine were thin so it didn't take long on high.

When the pork chops are done, take off the lid and add in the other bag of spinach leaves. Do it slowly and stir as you are doing it. It will wilt quickly and shrink down a lot.

Once you have all the spinach in the casserole, add in the sun dried tomatoes. Mix well and serve.

**Note: This produced a lot of sauce when I used the whole bottle of dressing so you might want to use ¾ of the bottle or 12 oz.
