To make slow cooker pork chops, you will need the following ingredients:- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by seasoning your pork chops with salt and black pepper. 2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. 3. While the pork chops are searing, slice your onion and mince your garlic. 4. Once the pork chops are browned, remove them from the skillet and place them in the slow cooker. 5. In the same skillet, add your sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. 6. Add your chicken broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine. 7. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker. 8. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked. 9. Once the pork chops are fully cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and set them aside. 10. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the sauce until smooth. 11. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by cooking it on the stovetop over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. 12. Once the sauce is thickened, pour it over the pork chops and serve.Nutrition
