Oh yes 😏 slow cooker pork chops—juicy, tender, and basically melt-in-your-mouth. Here’s a foolproof recipe:
🥘 Slow Cooker Pork Chops
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream (or sour cream for tangier version)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
- ½ tsp thyme (dried or fresh)
Instructions
- Optional sear
Heat oil in a pan and sear pork chops 2–3 min per side until golden. Adds flavor but not required. - Layer in slow cooker
Place onions and garlic at the bottom. Lay pork chops on top. Sprinkle with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. - Add liquid
Pour chicken broth (and mustard if using) over the chops. - Cook low & slow
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
Until chops are tender and juicy.
- Finish with cream
Stir in heavy cream (or sour cream) about 15–20 min before serving. This makes a creamy, flavorful sauce. - Serve
Over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. Spoon sauce on top.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overcook! Even in a slow cooker, 7+ hours can dry thinner chops.
- Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor.
- For a tangy twist: a splash of apple cider vinegar or apple juice in the broth.
If you want, I can give a sweet & sticky slow cooker pork chop version with brown sugar and apple—perfect for a comfort meal 😏🍎.
Do you want me to do that version too?
