How do you make pork chops in a crock pot ?!
Answers: I know done right the meat is very tender . I want to make them in a tomato sauce and have them with pasta later , do I need to cook them first ? , are there other ingrediates I should toss in ? ,what temperature do I set them at and for how long ?. Thanks so much for your help...
S&P your chops, maybe add a little garlic powder, too.
Cut an onion into rings, separate, and put at the bottom of the slow cooker. Top w/ chops, a can of diced tomatoes w/ juice, a bay leaf, and a pinch of dry thyme. Set on LOW and cook covered, 6-8 hours.
Just put them in raw with the tomato sauce and your favorite seasoning and slow cook per your cookers directions.
I would brown them in a pan before putting them in the slow cooker. Cooking time will depend on how thick they are and if they have a bone or not. I would consult your slow cooker manual for cooking times and temperatures.
