Scale

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  2. Season the pork chops with the salt and pepper on both sides and sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes or until brown.
    6 bone-in pork chops, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  3. Once done, add the pork chops to the slow cooker and spread the garlic all over them. Then sprinkle the brown sugar all over the top.
    6 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup brown sugar
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Notes

  • Thicker pork chops are better. Thin cuts will cook too quickly and may become tough.
  • Are you feeling a bit adventurous? Add about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
  • While it’s not strictly necessary to brown pork chops before placing them in the slow cooker, I recommend doing so. Browning provides a rich flavor to the meat and can enhance the final dish’s taste and appearance.
  • For juicy pork chops, use thick-cut chops and make sure to cook on low heat.
