Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 bone-in pork chops, about 3/4 inch thick (1 1/2 to 2 lb)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels; season both sides with pepper and salt.
  • Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook and stir 6 to 8 minutes or until browned. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to slow cooker. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat; reserving remaining fat for another use, or discard. Increase heat to medium-high; add pork chops to bacon drippings in skillet. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer to slow cooker and stand pork chops up against sides of slow cooker, bone side down.
  • Add onions to skillet. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add garlic; cook and stir 30 seconds. Transfer to slow cooker. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until pork chops are just cook through (at least 145°F in center, but still moist.)
  • Remove pork chops; cover with foil to keep warm. Remove bay leaves and discard. Increase slow cooker to High heat setting.
  • In small bowl, beat cornstarch, vinegar and water with whisk. Stir into liquid in slow cooker. Cover; cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  • Ladle sauce over pork chops; serve immediately.
