A Unique Slow Cooker Pork Chop Recipe These Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops are made with BBQ sauce, apricot preserves, onion soup mix, bone-in pork chops, garlic powder. I know the apricot preserves sounds like a wild ingredient but I just need you to trust that they add just a little sweetness while also creating a gorgeous glaze for the chops. The sauce for the Crock Pot Party Meatballs was my inspiration for these chops and it turned out perfect! Frequently Asked Questions: Is it better to use bone-in or boneless pork chops? I am using bone-in pork chops for this recipe for a couple of reasons. First of all, bone-in chops tend to be a little cheaper than their boneless counterparts. Plus, more times than not, I can get the bone-in pork chops on sale. Secondly, the bone-in pork chops are less likely to dry out and get tough. But boneless definitely works here. What to serve with Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops? Serve with a side salad and maybe some steamed and roasted veggies. Or maybe try whipping up some Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. If you want a different carb, some Butter Swim Biscuits, Dinner Rolls, or Garlic Bread are always great options. What else can I add? You can add some quartered potatoes or sweet potatoes on top of the onions if you want to make this dinner go a little further. How to store leftover Pork Chops? Allow the pork chops and sauce to cool slightly, then transfer everything to an airtight container. Be sure to spoon plenty of the BBQ sauce over the chops before storing to keep the meat moist. Store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. These freeze well for up to 2 months in a freezer safe bag or container.

Notes Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions. I didn’t season the pork chops with salt as there is already salt in the onion soup mix and bbq sauce. You can certainly season the pork chops however you like.  This sauce makes enough for up to 6 pork chops if you need to make more. Just make sure you have a larger slow cooker to accommodate 6 pork chops to cook evenly.  NutritionCalories: 298kcal | Carbohydrates: 35g | Protein: 35g | Fat: 15g | Sodium: 117mg
