SLOW COOK DOWN HOME PORK CHOPS AND GRAVY
I don't even like Pork, but was tricked into tasting this dish when I was told it was chicken. WOW! The meat was sooo tender and juicy; so tender in fact, that it was literally falling apart! It was like nothing I'd ever tasted before! Definitely not like my mother's hard, crusty pork chops! lol! This recipes goes hand in hand w/ some mashed potatoes. Just pour the leftover gravy on the taters' and enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine 1st four ingredients in a shallow dish.
- Dredge chops in flour mixture and set aside.
- Combine what is left of the flour mixture w/ the chicken broth and pour into your crock pot.
- Pour oil into a large skillet and cook the chops in hot oil until browned on both sides.
- Place chops in crock pot and cook covered on High for about 2 to 5 hours or until tender.
- Serve w/ hot rice and/or mashed potatoes.
- ++If the gravy becomes too thick just add a little water. If you accidentally add too much water then add a little more flour.
- Season w/ salt and pepper too your taste.
Tips:
- Tender Pork Chops: Opt for bone-in pork chops as they impart more flavor and remain moist during cooking. Thinner chops cook faster, while thicker chops require longer cooking times.
- Flavorful Marinade: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids (such as apple cider vinegar or buttermilk) enhances their taste and tenderizes them.
- Perfect Browning: Sear the pork chops in a pan over medium-high heat before transferring them to the slow cooker. This step creates a flavorful crust and locks in the juices.
- Veggies and Liquid: Add a variety of vegetables to the slow cooker along with the pork chops. They will infuse their flavors into the cooking liquid, creating a flavorful gravy.
- Low and Slow Cooking: Cook the pork chops on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. This allows the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender while absorbing the flavors of the marinade and vegetables.
- Thicken the Gravy: Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and set them aside. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Add a cornstarch or flour slurry to thicken the gravy, stirring constantly until it reaches your desired consistency.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker pork chops and gravy is a classic comfort food that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
