I love the ease of slow cooker meals. Today’s recipe is a tasty pork chop recipe. Put it on low for 5 hours and the meat is tender and falling apart. The sauce is so tasty. I like it with rice and broccoli, but it works well with baked potatoes or mashed potatoes too.

I rarely use my slow cooker but when I see a recipe like this, I think maybe I should rethink that!
I can forget about it too, but there are many things like pot roast or stew that are easier using it. I hope this is a sunnier week for you.
Pork and pineapple sounds like an interesting combination although I guess I eat pineapple with ham. We always have applesauce with our pork chops.

I had Mary Lou get me 3 large pork chops and after seeing this I’m going to do what you showed. It sure looks tasty Carol.

let me know what you think Paul – I hope you have a sunny day today
I love my slow cooker but rarely cook pork chops in it, I don’t know why, I should. This sounds like a great recipe. I imagine the pork just melting in my mouth.
Looks great. We don’t eat pork but should work will with lamp chops as well.
These look absolutely fantastic… what a delicious flavor combination!
Pork chops in the slow cooker sounds incredible X #mmbc
Gracias por la receta te mando un beso.
Thank you for this delicious recipe. I use my slow cooker a lot during the warmer months. It doesn’t heat the kitchen like the oven. I am looking forward to trying this.
I agree – who wants a hot kitchen in August? Slow cookers and grills to the rescue!
I’ve never tried a slow cooker but you inspire me. This looks lovely, a proper dinner.

I’m starting to enjoy my slow cooker again (used to love it when I was working and with kids) and then got away from it , but just lately I seem to run out of steam in the late afternoon, so a dinner that I prepared while still fresh in the morning is now right up my alley…. so yay, perfect. (Bookmarked for when we get home to Oregon. This week we’re just eating up everything that’s already in the cupboard and frig as we get ready to go.)
the tradition of emptying the refrigerator is part of traveling – then you come back to an empty fridge and go shopping!
That look delicious. We have a slow cooker but I’ve never tried cooking pork chops in it. Will have to give them a go sometime. #MMBC
Looks yummy. We normally have stewed, fried, or baked apples with our porkchops but this sounds good. Thanks for sharing at #aclwcc. Pinned & Tweeted

Oh these sound so good! I love cooking pork chops in the crock pot because they do get so tender that way. Pinned.

I love cooking in my slow cooker. Everything tastes full of flavour. I’ve not tried pork chops, but this sounds delicious. Will be adding to pins!
Have a lovely Sunday.
