A SLOW COOKER PORK CHOP RECIPE

These Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops are made with BBQ sauce, apricot preserves, onion soup mix, bone-in pork chops, garlic powder. So easy and delicious! I love the sauce for the  Crock Pot Party Meatballs so that was my inspiration for these chops! These are not only simple to make but the pork comes out so tender and the sauce is surprisingly unique and yummy!

IS IT BETTER TO USE BONE-IN OR BONELESS PORK CHOPS?

I am using bone-in pork chops for this recipe for a couple of reasons. First of all, bone-in chops tend to be a little cheaper than their boneless counterparts. Plus, more times than not, I can get the bone-in pork chops on sale. Secondly, the bone-in pork chops are less likely to dry out and get tough. They can handle the longer, slower cooking time and end up coming out so tender that you can cut through them like buttah!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CROCK POT BBQ PORK CHOPS?

Serve with a side salad and maybe some steamed and roasted veggies. Or maybe try whipping up some Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Garlic Parmesan Potatoes.

    Love the recipe, my son can only eat grape jelly, he has a lot of allergies, would that taste good here do you think?

    Do you think 8 boneless thick cut pork chops would do? Should I double the ingredients.

    Reply

    • Brandie @ The Country Cook

      I think it depends on how much sauce you want and if the sauce covers the pork chops. The goal here is to have each chop covered in the sauce as it cooks to really infuse it with flavor.

    Excellent! Used 5 thick cut boneless chops each sliced thin into two chops. Plenty of sauce to accommodate another couple of thick cut chops

    Trying these right now in my crockpot, I didn't have apricot preserves, so I went with a jar of blackberry preserves, the sauce tastes amazing so far, can't wait for dinner. I think my husband will be thrilled. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    This one is my favorite among all other meals at BBQ. I never thought of making pork chops at home. It looks easy to prepare.
