The chops will cook in a slow, moist environment for hours, resulting in a super tender and juicy chop. Serve them along side of the crock pot potatoes pictured above for a full meal.

Helpful Tips

  • Opt for bone-in chops with a thickness of 1 inch; they hold up better to the slow-cooking process, resulting in a more succulent end product.
  • When seasoning the pork chops, take a moment to pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps in achieving a better sear, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
  • Resist the temptation to crank up the heat; the low and slow method is your ally here, ensuring that your pork chops become fork-tender and packed with flavor.

Storing

Refrigeration: Place any leftover pork chops and sauce in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
