Ingredients
  

Pork Chop Marinade
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Pork Chops
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, black pepper, onion powder, and salt to create a marinade.
  2. Place the pork chops in the crockpot and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  2. Once cooked, remove the pork chops and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  3. Optional: To thicken the sauce, pour the remaining liquid into a saucepan and simmer on medium heat until reduced by half.
Serving
  1. Serve the pork chops with a generous spoonful of the sweet and savory sauce on top, paired with sides like creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or steamed vegetables.

Notes

Make sure to coat the pork chops well in the marinade for the best flavor. For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of vinegar or some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. If you want to meal prep, these pork chops can be cooked and then frozen for an easy dinner later on.
