Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Chops

  Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Chops

• Prep time: 5 minutes
• Cook time: 4 to 6 hours
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut pork chops (boneless or bone-in, about 1-inch thick)
• 1 ½ cups of your favorite BBQ sauce
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prep the Pork Chops Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. If you want a little extra flavor, sprinkle them lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Place the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of your crockpot.

2. Mix the Sauce In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until the sugar dissolves.

3. Coat the Meat Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop is completely covered.

4. Slow Cook Cover the crockpot with the lid. Cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours (or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours).

• Tip for tenderness: Pork chops can dry out easily. Cooking them on the LOW setting for around 4 to 5 hours yields the most tender, pull-apart results. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Serve Transfer the pork chops to a platter. Give the remaining sauce in the crockpot a quick stir, then spoon it generously over the chops before serving. These pair perfectly with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, or coleslaw.
