Open in Pepper →Pork chops have a reputation for drying out on you, and that's exactly why the slow cooker earns its keep. A few hours in gravy and they come out fork-tender, with sauce already made for the mashed potatoes.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the mornings when they know supper needs to be handled before school pickup, ball practice, or a late shift.
Every recipe here starts with chops and ends with gravy: Crock Pot Pork Chops with cream of mushroom and beef broth, Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Garlic Parmesan Sauce, Smothered Pork Chops with a ranch packet, and one-pot versions with potatoes and onions or sweet potatoes.
Sear the chops first
Brown each side 2 to 3 minutes in a hot skillet before they go in the crock. It keeps them from looking gray and adds real flavor to the gravy.
Go low, not high
Cook on low 4 to 6 hours instead of high 2 to 3. Pork chops toughen fast when the heat is cranked up.
Use thick-cut chops
Look for chops at least 1 inch thick, bone-in if you can get them. Thin chops fall apart before the potatoes are done.
Thicken at the end
If the sauce is thin, stir in 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water and leave the lid off for 15 minutes.
