Notes
- Thicker pork chops are better. Thin cuts will cook too quickly and may become tough.
- Are you feeling a bit adventurous? Add about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
- While it's not strictly necessary to brown pork chops before placing them in the slow cooker, I recommend doing so. Browning provides a rich flavor to the meat and can enhance the final dish's taste and appearance.
- For juicy pork chops, use thick-cut chops and make sure to cook on low heat.
