Crock Pot Chops That Will Make You Eat Til You Pop!
"These have to be, hands down, the BEST meal I have EVER made in a crock pot. I borrowed a friend's crock pot one weekend and made this for my honey. Low and behold, I got a crock pot for my next birthday along with a request for this recipe to be the first thing I made. I really wish I know where I got the recipe from because I would LOVE to give credit for it. I beg of you, do yourself a favor and try this. You will NOT regret it. Let me know what you think!!"

I am with reviewer Marcia Smith on this one. It was not bad but I don't think it deserves the highest rating on the site. I tried it and followed the recipe faithfully and was quite disappointed. I tasted as I thought it would ...sweet and somewhat ho-hum. The best that can be said for it is that it is easy and for those with weak teeth, the chops are tender. I would far rather marinate a boneless pork steak and grill it. I have given it one star and am not sure it deservs that. I prefer to give good reviews but this recipe has been so over-rated that I felt I should help to correct the balance. -
I gave this recipe 1 star because the pork chops were tender. The sauce was way to sweet. I would not make these again. I threw all the left-overs away. Sorry! -
What did I miss? I made this recipe and was dissappointed in the results. I told my husband, someone hasn't had good porkchops. Yet, as I read the comments, I wonder what I missed. I used butterfly cut 1" center loin chops. Sorry--can't say we enjoyed these or that they are worth sharing. Too soupy on the veggies and broth. -
Well these were tasty enough, but I don't think I would make them again. The veggies never got soft, the onions were practically raw! And I chopped them small, too. Kind of disappointing after all the great reviews. I did follow the recipe word for word. I did save the leftover sauce for some other possible use, but I would have to cook down those crunchy veggies. Family will only eat crunchy veggies in salad, not in a sauce. Sorry, the flavor is there, but it needs some work. -
Made these according to recipe today. I rechecked the recipe after eating them to make sure I didn't forget something as I was expecting them to be really out of this world. I'm not a big stew person and this was very much like a sweet stew to me. The pork chops definitely got very tender and that was nice. They weren't really bad, but no one said they looked forward to having them again. Maybe being from South Texas, I just was missing some spice and heat.

This is a go-to recipe in my cook book... but not for pork chops! It has all the makings of a perfect recipe for delicious moose or venison steaks, cuts the gamey taste and makes them oh so tender! I have also used this recipe for pork chops and they turn out delicious! One change I always make is diced tomatoes instead of stewed... I have used BBQ sauce instead of the ketchup once or twice...and I have added extra veggies if I had them kicking around.

Loved this recipe!! Only thing we changed was used 1 Tbsp of brown sugar instead of 2 and didn't have a beef cube on hand so left it out. Also added in some garlic and cayenne peppers. Pork chops were so tender I could pull them apart with my fork. Will definitely be making again. -
Very tasty and easy. I don't like pork chops that much, but the meat was so tender it just fell apart. I did add some "heat" to give it kick. I used some buffalo sauce--about 2 tablespoons. For those who don't like big stewed tomatoes, I think diced tomatoes would be great. I served mine with mashed potatoes. The sauce was great over those. I didn't have any celery and it turned out just fine without it. I also used regular white vinegar instead of cider. I will make this again! -
WOW what can I say but WOW. My husband is a picky eater and he loved this. I accidently left out the beef boullion and we didn't miss it and being on a low calorie plan i substituted the brown sugar for Splenda brown sugar and my husband's only suggestion was to cut back on the brown sugar. I served it over brown rice and it was stupendous. Thanks for sharing this is one of my all time "favorites" now.

Love, love, love it! I have made this twice already, and both times the chops have come out SO tender! The veggie types you can use are flexible (I put in carrots to add a little different flavor), and the mix of flavors is reminiscent of vegetable soup. I also substituted Coke in place of brown sugar--as one reviewer suggested--and it made the sauce sweet, but not too sweet. The acids in the Coke also served to tenderize the meat. All in all a GREAT recipe. I will be adding it to the circulating repertoire!
