Description

Slow cooker recipes are a lifesaver for busy people who want to enjoy a delicious and hearty meal without spending hours in the kitchen. One of the best ingredients to use in a slow cooker is pork chops, which become incredibly tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow. By adding potatoes to the mix, you can create a complete and satisfying meal that is perfect for cold winter nights or lazy weekends.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is minimal, as most of the work is done by the slow cooker. You will need to chop the potatoes into small pieces and season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and other spices of your choice. This should take no more than 10-15 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of your pork chops, as well as the temperature setting of your slow cooker. In general, you can expect the dish to be ready in 4-6 hours on low heat, or 2-3 hours on high heat.

Recipe Tips

To make this dish even more flavorful, you can brown the pork chops in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the chops and enhance their taste. You can also use different types of potatoes such as sweet potatoes or red potatoes, depending on what you have on hand. Lastly, if you want to thicken the sauce, you can mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water and add it to the slow cooker 30 minutes before the end of cooking time. This will create a creamy and delicious gravy that will nicely coat the pork chops and potatoes.
