Easy Slow Cooker Pork Chops Recipe Highlights
You won’t believe how easy and delicious these Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops are!!! I have been planning out the week’s menu, but I haven’t been in the mood to cook big and elaborate meals. All I want is a quick and straightforward dinner, and there is nothing simpler than a slow cooker meal. These Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops are unbelievably tender and flavorful. I love this recipe because the prep time is minimal. So simple to make. These pork chops are an excellent dinner that the whole family will love. The combination of flavors in this recipe is absolutely amazing! Serve them with some mashed potatoes or your favorite salad. Now it’s time to turn on that slow cooker, and let it work its magic!
Pork Chops: I like and recommend using thick-cut, bone-in pork chops. Leaner/ thinner cuts will not be as tender. Seasonings: You’ll need salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Oil: Any oil you have handy will work for this recipe. Fresh garlic: For extra flavor! Don’t skip it. Honey: This helps to naturally sweeten the sauce. Feel free to use more or less to taste, depending on how sweet you prefer the sauce. Broth: Regular or low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth or stock is the base of the sauce. Rice wine vinegar: You can substitute for another light, mild vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or champagne vinegar. Soy sauce: Regular soy sauce is usually pretty salty, so I like to use the low sodium soy sauce to cut back on the sodium level. Coconut aminos is also a great substitute for those looking for a soy-free alternative. Worcestershire sauce: I love adding it for extra flavor. Cornstarch: You can substitute for potato starch 1:1.
Storing & Freezing Instructions
STORE: Store leftovers in a sealed food storage container in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days. Sear the pork chops first. Although it’s an optional extra step, searing the pork chops before adding them to the slow cooker is a must! It caramelizes the exterior, adding a flavorful brown crust that you can’t get just from slow cooking on its own. If the chops aren’t tender (and you’ve used the recommended type), they likely need more time. FREEZE: Place them in an airtight freezer container and freeze them for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, let thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
