Why Crock Pot Pork Chops Are a Must-Make
These pork chops stand out thanks to a luxurious, gravy-like sauce and the incredible tenderness you can only get from low-and-slow cooking. Better yet, most of the prep is hands-off—making it perfect for busy evenings or when you want to free up time for the family.
A handful of pantry ingredients, a quick sear, and a few hours in the crock pot transform budget-friendly pork into something worthy of a special occasion.
Prepping the Pork Chops and Veggies
For extra flavor, it’s ideal to sear your pork chops before adding them to the crock pot. Use a sturdy nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for easy browning and cleanup. Chop onions, garlic, and any other desired veggies—speed up prep with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for precise, uniform pieces in seconds.
To lock in moisture and add depth, pour a quick mix of condensed soup or broth over the pork, letting the juices meld and turn into a crave-worthy gravy as everything cooks.
Slow Cooking to Perfection
Layer the browned pork, aromatics, and a savory liquid in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for about 3–4 hours until the pork chops are melt-in-your-mouth tender. Want to get the texture just right? Use an accurate thermometer like the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking to ensure perfect doneness.
For an extra hint of freshness, add some minced herbs or a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
