Crock Pot Chops

Submitted by Mamas Kitchen Hope

"These sweet and tangy pork chops smell great as they cook all day and are a wonderful meal to come home to. Other cuts of pork would work in this recipe as well. Try some economical pork steak or a roast. I have even done this with strips and cubes and served over white rice. If you are salt sensitive you can use low sodium soy sauce. I use chenin blanc for the wine or a good chardonnay. Reisling might be a great sweeter wine to try here! A salad or veggie rounds out this meal really well."

 

• Ready In: 6hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 pork chops, about 1 in thick
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium is fine)
• 1⁄4 cup white wine (NOT cooking wine)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

directions

1. Spray crock pot with cooking spray and place all ingredients inside.
2. REVISED: Some reviews stated that the meat was dry and cooked too long so I am revising the cooking time to low for 6 hours or until chops are tender. My crock is old and probably cooks slower- sorry!
3. Remove chops and thicken liquid in pot with a slurry of 1 TABLEspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 TABLEspoon water.
4. Return chops to pot and cook until liquid has thickened.

Yesterday I needed something to throw together really quickly because I had to go get some work done on the car and I knew I wouldn't be home until after dinnertime. I found this recipe and knew I had some chops in the freezer. I dumped six bone-in chops and a double recipe of the sauce in the crockpot on low and left, returning six hours later to something wonderful! These were literally falling apart so we shredded them up and wrapped in some tortillas with cilantro, cucumber, red pepper, and green onion topped with the thickened sauce. Next time, I'll definitely use low-sodium soy sauce because it was a bit too salty for us, but they were great and SO no-fuss!

Mama- I can only beg forgiveness for not reviewing this on time. I actually made these again last nite and of course everyone loves them. DS and GF were here so this was a super handy meal for me. I make these about 1 time per month and cannot be;ieve although in fact I did not review this recipe. Last nite served with aspargus, greek potatoes, salad and vino.

I made these just as described with the 6 hour slow cooking time. The chops were exquisitely tender and the sauce was quite good. I did use reduced sodium soy sauce and even with that, the 1:1 ratio of soy sauce to wine was a bit salty for my taste but I'm sure that's just because the doctor has me on a very low-salt diet and I've become accustomed to relative unsalty fare. I'm sure that for people on a normal diet it would seem just right. I liked it quite a bit even so, but next time I will probably increase the wine a bit and reduce the soy sauce. I served it with rice so that the sauce could be spooned over the rice and it was quite good that way. Later I cut the leftover chop up (I could do it with just the side of a fork!) mixed it with the rice and sauce and added some leftover cooked broccoli and grated ginger, re-heated on the stove and had a great second dinner.

So delicious! I used thick boneless chops and they were dark on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside (perfect). We like our sauce a bit on the sticky side so I tripled the brown sugar and added a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup water to the sauce. Great flavors! Next time i am going to add some ginger the the sauce as well. Lovely recipe! So easy and So good! Thanks mama!
