CROCK POT PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle on both sides of the pork chops.
• Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the bottom, then scatter the onions over the sauce. Add the pork chops, overlapping somewhat as needed. Spoon the remaining sauce over and in between the chops so that each has a nice amount of sauce on top. Cover and cook on LOW (this recipe does not work well on high) for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours for boneless chops. (If using bone-in chops, your time could be up to 5 or 6 hours on LOW.) Pork chops can dry out easily, so be sure to check them early, especially if it is your first time making pork chops in the slow cooker. Remove the pork to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while you thicken the sauce.
• To thicken the sauce in the slow cooker: Add the slurry to the slow cooker with the remaining sauce. Whisk to combine, cover the slow cooker, and set to high. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon your slow cooker.
• To thicken the sauce more quickly: Transfer the sauce to a medium saucepan. Whisk in the slurry, and then cook on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring often until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. (If your slow cooker insert is stovetop safe, you can remove it from the slow cooker and place it directly on the burner. Do not do this unless you are POSITIVE your insert is stovetop safe or it may crack).
• Serve the chops hot, topped with the thickened sauce and a sprinkle of green onion.

SLOW COOKER PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a pie plate, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne and thyme leaves. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops to the pan (work in two batches if the need be) and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Remove them to a plate.
• Add the onions to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until lightly golden and slightly softened. Remove from the heat.
• Add the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce to the base of a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Whisk everything to combine. Add the onions and thyme sprigs, the nestle the pork chops into the broth mixture. Cover and cook over high heat for 1 hour, then reduce to low heat for 2 more hours, until tender. Serve the pork chops with some of the gravy, onions, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves, over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes, if you like.

SLOW-COOKER PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Lay the pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper. Put the flour on a small plate. Coat both sides of the chops with the flour and put back on the baking sheet to come to room temperature while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Add the mustard, honey and 1 tablespoon of water to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Cut the shallot into rings and add to the cooker, separating the rings. Core and cut the apple into 1/2-inch chunks and add to the cooker with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine the shallots and apples with the sauce. Spread the mixture in an even layer and lay the pork chops on top, overlapping as needed.
• Cover and cook on low until the pork is cooked through, about 3 hours. Transfer the chops to a large plate and top with the warm apples and sauce. Serve with creamy grits or buttered rice if desired.

CROCK POT PORK CHOPS

• Season with salt to taste if desired.
• Serve over rice.
