Melt-in-Your-Mouth Slow Cooker Pork Chops
Make tender, flavorful pork chops with just three simple ingredients in a slow cooker. Perfect for a hands-off, delicious dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
- 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (or a sweet-savory sauce)
- 1 small onion, sliced
Optional Add-Ons
- Garlic cloves for extra flavor
- Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Lightly grease the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- Place the sliced onions at the bottom.
- Lay the pork chops on top of the onions.
- Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the pork chops.
- Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until pork chops are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
- Serve:
- Remove pork chops carefully and serve with the sauce from the slow cooker.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips for Extra Tender Pork Chops
- Use bone-in chops for more flavor and moisture.
- Avoid overcooking; slow cooker times vary depending on the size and thickness of the pork chops.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after removing from the cooker to retain juices.
