This meal was very good, except my crockpot seemed to cook it too fast. We had it on low for 7 hrs, and it turned out very dry & part of the stuffing burned. Will definitely make it again, but will cook for only 5 hrs & will add more stuffing.

This meal was really good except the pork was a wee bit dry. Even though I only cooked it for 5 hours. Next time I will not be cooking it as long. I added more stuffing mix, cherries/cranberries, and apple but I kept the original 1 cup of broth and the stuffing was PERFECT and so flavorful! I will be making this again to try and perfect the meat.

I loved this recipe. It was quick and easy. I substituted cranberries for the cherries and used apple juice for the chicken broth. I also will use less liquid next time. My cook time on low was only about 3 1\2 hours.

I thought this meal was easy and tasty. I did used dried cranberries instead of cherries and also used dried apples so they wouldn't get mushy so fast. I only cooked about 4 hours though and the chops, fell apart. I think the longer cooking time would have made the stuffing too dry for me. I would cook this again. Really spray your crock pot good with ckg spray as directed or the sides of the stuffing will start to burn and stick a little.

This recipe was great. My whole family enjoyed it, my crockpot cooked it perfectly. I cooked it for 6 1/2 hours any longer and it would have been too long. Next time I will add some additional seasoning like sage. I will make this again.

Wow!! I took one of the suggestions and added extra apple and changed cherry to dried cranberries. It tasted like a thanksgiving meal! A burst of flavors!

Wonderful meal. My husband and I both enjoyed it. Just have to add a veggie to your plate and it's holiday ready.

I cooked this overnight while sleeping and it turned out great! I used dried cranberries instead of the cherries and used more apples and it gave it a great taste. I would definitely make this recipe again! My family loved it and it reheated really well for dinner the following night!

Oh my is this good! The dressing does need a little something though, perhaps a little sage. I bet it would also be great with cranberries instead of cherries and also yummy with chicken. The combination of the fruits, celery, and onion give it a wonderful sweet-savory flavor. The pork chops came out of the crockpot in pieces they were so tender. This is definitely a keeper.
