    Slow Cooker Pork Chops Question

    I need to slow cook a lot of pork chops. Around 15-20. I think it will fit in my 8 Qt. but my question is, can I cook that many at once? I have found lots of recipes for pork chops, but all call for one layer of chops in a slow cooker. Is it possible to cook that many ( 4 layers ) at one time?
