Slow Cooker Pepper Pork Chops
Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the mixture and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight. Remove the chops from the brine, rinse, and pat dry. Season on both sides with the kosher salt and set aside Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan followed by the onions and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking for another 4 hours and 30 minutes or until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone. Continue reading >>
Smothered Pork Chops {slow Cooker}
posted by Mel on June 8, 2011 113 Comments Ive tried no less than eight smothered pork chop recipes in the last year. That may not sound like very many, but let me tell you, when eight smothered pork chop recipes fail miserably, you might get in what I like to call a Smothered-Pork-Chop-Recipe-Funk. Its an official diagnosis. Ive had it for a while. But Im happy to report I have been cured of my funk thanks to this recipe. Oh, it is wonderful. Tender, fall-apart pork chops are, well, smothered in a flavorful gravy enhanced with smoky bacon, aromatic onions and garlic, a hint of thyme and a little soy sauce. The flavor in this meal is out of control. Which is why I have to insert here right here that although you may weep and wail and gnash your teeth at the advance prep work to get the pork chops in the slow cooker, it is worth it. Worth it, I tell you! So please dont skip those essential steps. The browning of the pork and onions (sweetened by a touch of brown sugar heaven!) adds a depth of flavor you wont want to miss. And to make it up to you, Ill send a special blog fairy to wash that skillet for you since you followed my wishes and the recipe. Ok, not really. But I will think good thoughts for you while you do it. Even though the weather has finally warmed up here to full summer force, Ill be using my slow cooker all hot season long. Perfect way to get a great meal on the table without heating up the whole house. I dont know what it is about smothered pork chops but they just kind of scream Sunday Dinner to me, which is why these babies are going straight into the Sunday Dinner Rotation. Ive served this a few ways; with these salt-crusted rosemary potatoes and weve also enjoyed it with our favorite cheesy potatoes . Throw in a steamed vegetable, dinner roll if you Continue reading >>

Originally published as Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy in Simple & Delicious September/October 2008 Recipes from real home cooks, tested in our kitchens and delivered right to your inbox! Thank You! Your rating has been submitted. Please allow 24 hours for your review to appear. Ive Rated this 4 stars bc its a solid basic recipe; the method makes for nice, tender, pork chops. Its not a dump meal, so be prepared for some prep time, and dont skip browning the chops, because its a very important step. I do have to agree with the others who say its pretty bland, as written, though. The second time I made this recipe, i took the other reviews into consideration...so I used salt and pepper to directly season the chops, and I doubled the seasonings (season salt, mustard, garlic pepper) in the flour dredge-which makes for tastier chops AND gravy. Another hint...I slice maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of a small on Continue reading >>
Two Ingredient Slow Cooker Pork Chops
February 18, 2013 by burntapple 2 Comments The past week has been busy and these slow cooker pork chops has come in handy. It was nice to have a day yesterday just to sit and relax. Im not one that does well relaxing. Im so used to being on the go that I have a hard time just sitting there. I really cant even remember a time Ive watched an entire movie without working on some project as well. So having a slow cooker recipe on hand to allow me to take a few minutes to myself feels heavenly! Over the weekend I had a chance to get together with some other bloggers. It was great to finally put names to faces. Highlights of the day? * Spending half of lunch going back and forth with a fellow blogger trying to figure out where we knew each other from. We finally narrowed it down to college and found we had even lived in the same apartment building. * Listening to fabulous bloggers like Chef In Training. I could totally identify with hershe also has a husband that travels a lot and made me feel totally okay with the fact that you can tweet, hold a baby on your hip and take a picture of your dinner for your next blog post all at the same time. So nice to know Im not the only one that is trying to balance it all! * Running into Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod. Besides inspiring me to outdo her in the cookie department from time to time (Im competitive, but in a good way. Were talking cookies here). She and I went on one of our local television stations together back in the early days of blogging for us and both of us have had such busy schedules that it was great to run into each other again. Okay, back to the pork chop recipe. This is a really very difficult recipe. Youll need boneless pork chopsI used thin style this time but use boneless pork loins from time to time too.

Slow-cooker Pork Chop
Recipe photo courtesy of Bryan Gardner Pork chops cut from the shoulder have more connective tissues that break down as they cook, making them a great choice for a low and slow cook. Browning the bacon and pork chops in a pan first gives this dish layers of added flavor. 1/2 small red cabbage, thinly sliced lengthwise (6 cups) 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (3/4 cup) 4 pork shoulder chops, each 3/4 inch thick Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley and dill, for serving 1. Place cabbage, onions, allspice, and thyme in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper and toss. 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until it begins to brown and crisp up, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon and any rendered fat to slow cooker. 3. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Swirl oil and butter into pan over high heat. Working in two batches if necessary, cook chops, turning once and pressing down with tongs to make contact with pan, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Slow Cooker Recipes
Slow cookers, also known as Crock-Pots, have been a big hit since the 1970’s. It is a countertop appliance that is used to simmer food at a reduced temperature for a longer period of time. Many people think of dishes like pot roast, pulled pork or soup when it comes to a slow cooker, but you can use it for much more – including cake! One note of caution: raw kidney beans and a few other beans (like broad beans or fava beans) contain the phytohemagglutinin toxin. Boiling destroys this toxin, but the far lower temperature of a slow cooker does not (read more at WikiPedia). Continue reading >>
Diabetics Rejoice!: Slow Cooker Pork Chops With Carrots And Apples
Low carb recipes for EVERYONE wanting to eat healthier and heal their bodies from within, including sweets that are actually nutritious and won't spike your blood glucose! Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Carrots and Apples I love my Crock Pot and use it often. Even if I'm at home for the day, I love the aroma wafting though the house and knowing that all I have to do is lift the lid from the slow cooker and dinner is ready. This recipe in particular smells wonderful while it's cooking and it's so easy to throw together. The combination of pork and apples is a classic and by cooking them in a crock pot, the pork chops turn out moist and tender. To reduce some carbs, I recommend using a green Granny Smith apple, instead of a higher sugar variety. With a side of probiotic-rich homemade sauerkraut, this is a comforting and healing meal. Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Carrots and Apples Makes 2-4 servings, depending on the size of your pork chops 2 large, thick, center cut, boneless pork chops (organic or antibiotic free) 2 cups carrots, thickly sliced (I use multi-colored carrots) 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into slices and sprinkled with lemon juice 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (or 1 teas dried) 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 teas dried) 1. In a heavy skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. Season the chops with salt and pepper and brown on both sides. 2. In the crock pot, add the sliced onion and carrots and season with a little salt and pepper. Place the pork chops on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with the chopped herbs. 3. Spread the sliced apples on top of the pork and put the lid on the Crock Pot. Set the slow cooker to high (or 350-degrees Fahrenheit) and cook for 3 hours. Test meat and, if it's tender and the internal temperature is at least 165-degrees, turn Continue reading >>
