Crockpot Teriyaki Pork Chops Recipe
Description
This recipe uses bone-in pork chops simmered in a crockpot with teriyaki sauce and minced garlic to infuse flavor while slow cooking. Cooking times vary from 2.5-3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low, ensuring the meat becomes tender but not overdone. Once cooked, a mixture of cornstarch and cold water is stirred into the crockpot to thicken the remaining liquid into a glaze.
The final dish delivers juicy pork chops coated with a glossy teriyaki glaze that holds a balance of savory soy elements and subtle sweetness from the sauce. The garlic adds a mild pungency. Serving these pork chops over rice captures the sauce, complementing the meat and making a filling meal.
Using a meat thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 145°F ensures proper doneness. Alternative thickening agents like flour can be substituted for cornstarch. Garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds can add extra texture and flavor if desired.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container, making this recipe suitable for meal prepping.
Ingredients
