Crock Pot Pork Chops

Zutaten

• 2 pounds THICK-CUT (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch-thick) boneless pork chops or bone-in pork chops*
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups barbecue sauce
• 1 small yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry)
• Chopped green onion (optional for serving)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Stir: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle on both sides of the pork chops.

2. 2

   Spread: Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the bottom, then scatter the onions over the sauce.

3. 3

   Cook: Add the pork chops, overlapping somewhat as needed.

4. 4

   Spoon the remaining sauce over the chops so that each has a nice amount on top. Cover and cook on LOW (1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours for boneless chops and 5 to 6 hours on LOW for bone-in chops).**

5. 5

   Remove the pork to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while you thicken the sauce.

6. 6

   Thicken: Add the slurry to the slow cooker with the remaining sauce.*** Whisk to combine, cover the slow cooker, and set to high. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon your slow cooker.

7. 7

   Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the thickened sauce and a sprinkle of green onion.
