Why You’ll Love It
- Cooking pork chops can be tricky, often ending up too dry. But with slow cooking, this problem disappears. The pork chops slowly simmer in a moist environment, resulting in chops that are not just tender but juicy to the core.
- These pork chops cook in their own creamy sauce which helps keep them moist and tender. You also end up with a delicious sauce so half your dinner is done and ready to go.
- You will come home to a perfectly cooked dinner waiting for you. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Helpful Tips
- Thicker is better. Choose bone-in chops about 1 inch thick for the best results.
- Pat the chops dry and season them before laying in the bed of sauce in the pot. This will ensure the chops themselves are seasoned and flavorful.
- Resist the urge to rush; slow cooking is key for fork-tender goodness. It’ll take 3-4 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low.
