Spicy and Tender Crock Pot Pork Chops

Missy Wright's Note:

These are the most tender chops I have ever had! I usually cook some apples to go on top of the chops and use the sauce in this recipe to put over rice. I found this recipe in one of my favorite Cookbooks 'Fix It and Forget It.' Hope you enjoy!

I had to fend off the family and guard the crockpot to keep them from opening it up and trying to sneak a taste. The pork chops were tender and the juices from the pot were terrific poured over steamed rice. This is a definite keeper.

This does, as Mellisa says, produce tebder chops. I made 5 chops. I liked the sound of the apples but instead of cooking them separately I peeled, cored and quartered 2 medioum apples and put them in with the chops-excellent. I mixed all the sauce ingredients before pouring over the chops. I was a bit short on the green pepper so I decided to add a bit more heat and added a small tin (apprx 2 oz) of sliced jalapeno peppers. Loved the end result.Served with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli steamed carrots I froze the remaining 4 chops with some sauce and after freezing them individually I vaccum sealed them in bags, again individually. Thanks Mellisa for a great recipe that I will be enjoying several times over

I used very thick chops, and really liked the flavor of the sauce. I think next time I'll cut the chops into smaller pieces so the sauce penetrates a little better into the meat. The only change I made was using some red bell pepper and some chopped jalapeno in place of the green pepper, just because that's what I had. I'll leave more jalapeno seeds in next time to give it more of a 'kick'. Thanks for a winner!
