This slow cooker Amish-style green pepper pork pasta is the kind of comforting supper that earns a regular spot in a busy family meal rotation. With just a handful of simple ingredients, the pork cooks low and slow until tender while the green peppers soften into the sauce, creating a hearty topping for pasta that feels old-fashioned, practical, and wonderfully filling.
Serve this over hot buttered noodles or short pasta with a side of cottage cheese, a crisp lettuce salad, or warm bread for soaking up the extra sauce. If you want to round it out for a bigger family meal, steamed green beans, sweet corn, or applesauce all fit right in with the cozy Midwestern feel of this dish.
Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Amish Green Pepper Pork Pasta
Servings: 6
Ingredients
4 boneless pork chops
2 large green bell peppers, cut into strips
1 can condensed tomato soup, about 10.5 ounces
1 packet dry onion soup mix, about 1 ounce
12 ounces egg noodles or other pasta, cooked for serving
Directions
1. Lightly coat the inside of the slow cooker if needed, then place the pork chops in the bottom in an even layer.
2. Tuck the green pepper strips all around and between the pork chops so they are nestled down into the cooker.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the condensed tomato soup and dry onion soup mix, then spread the mixture over the pork and peppers.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
5. Near the end of cooking, boil the egg noodles according to the package directions and drain well.
6. Serve the pork chops and green pepper sauce over the hot cooked noodles, spooning plenty of sauce over each portion.
Variations & Tips
For picky eaters: Slice the peppers a little larger so they are easy to pick around, or use just one pepper for a milder flavor. If your family likes a smoother sauce, stir the cooked peppers into the sauce more thoroughly before serving.
Add a creamier finish: If you like a richer sauce, stir in a few spoonfuls of sour cream at the end after the slow cooker is turned off. That gives the sauce a softer, creamier texture that tastes especially nice over wide noodles.
Use a different pasta: Egg noodles are especially cozy here, but rotini, penne, or even mashed potatoes can work if that is what you already have on hand. This is one of those forgiving dinners that fits right into real life.
Make it extra tender: If your pork chops are on the thicker side, choose the low setting for the best texture. Overcooking on high can sometimes make lean pork a little firmer, while low and slow keeps it more tender.
