Key Ingredients for Slow Cooker Pork Chops
The best part about this recipe is that the ingredients are super common items that you might already have. No need for a special grocery trip. Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Boneless Pork Loin Chops: This recipe calls for thick pork chops, at least 1 ¼ inch thick. Thinner pork chops will dry out terribly in the slow cooker, so I’m telling you now, buy the thick ones. Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Ground Mustard add savory, salty, and tangy flavor to the meal. Onion and Garlic: We will sauté these aromatic vegetables before adding them to the crockpot, for even more savory flavor. Flour: Flour serves two purposes in this recipe. First we’ll use it to dredge the pork to get a nice brown crust on it. Later we’ll use a bit more to thicken the gravy. Chicken Stock: This will turn into a delicious gravy, and it’s the liquid that slowly braises the pork.
