This simple slow cooker pork chops recipe is sweet with just a hint of spice.
We don’t really eat much pork except for bacon. But every once in a while I want to eat pork chops. My favorite way to cook pork chops is to coat them in a homemade seasoned breading and then bake. But pork chops also hold up very well in a slow cooker.
Use bone in pork chops for the best results in a slow cooker. Like chicken, I prefer dark meat on the bone in a slow cooker. But feel free to use whatever kind of pork chop you prefer.
This recipe needs a 4 quart slow cooker and can be left to cook all day. If you need to feed a larger family, this slow cooker recipe is easy to double. Just make sure to use a larger slow cooker.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with a sauce made of tomatoes, peaches and soy sauce but it’s really really tasty. It wasn’t nearly as fruit tasting as the slow cooker orange chicken recipe. It was more of sweet tangy barbecue.
The pork chops cook up nice and tender and it’s easy to just slip the meat right off the bone to discard.
