In my house we eat a lot of chicken and ground beef. Like a lot. It's quick and easy, so it usually wins out. Yesterday, I remembered I had some thick pork chops in the freezer and decided to thaw them out and try something new. Pork chops have always been more difficult for me to cook, just because they can be so dry and so not-flavorful.
I searched online for a good slow cook recipe for tenderness, combined a couple of them, and voila! I actually made good pork chops, and I wanted to share. It's SO easy, and a crockpot is involved. Win-win.
Dang Good Pork Chops:
Serves: 2
2 bone-in thick cut pork chops
1 packet of onion soup mix
1 cup of chicken broth
1/4 cup of apple juice
salt, pepper
Lawry's seasoning salt
Brown pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper and Lawry's. In separate bowl, combine onion soup mix and chicken broth. Place pork chops in crock pot (I used my really small one so that the juice could cover as much of the chop as possible) and pour the onion/broth mixture over it. Then pour in about 1/4 cup of apple juice. Cook on low for 5 hours. I turned them over and flipped them around every once in a while to make sure maximum juice absorption was happening equally.
Delicious! And so tender! I served it over some Jambalaya Wild Rice, but also think it would be awesome with some mashed potatoes!
