This 3-ingredient slow cooker peach glazed pork chops recipe is one of those simple, cozy dinners that feels like a hug at the end of a long day. It reminds me of the kind of church potluck dishes I grew up with here in the Midwest—sweet, savory, and comforting, without a lot of fuss. Using peach preserves gives the pork chops a gentle sweetness and a glossy glaze that tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen, even though the slow cooker did most of the work. It’s a wonderful option for busy weeknights, when you want something warm and homemade on the table without dirtying every pan in the house.
These peach glazed pork chops go wonderfully with simple, homey sides. I like to serve them over fluffy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles so they can soak up every bit of that sweet peachy sauce. Steamed green beans or roasted carrots balance the sweetness nicely, and a simple side salad adds a bit of crunch and freshness. If your family loves bread, warm dinner rolls or cornbread are perfect for mopping up the extra glaze. For an easy summer-style meal, you can also pair the pork chops with corn on the cob and a fruit salad for a light, colorful plate.
3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Peach Glazed Pork ChopsServings: 4 servings
Ingredients
4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
1 cup peach preserves (or peach jam)
1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)
Directions
Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or rub with a little oil to help with cleanup.
Place the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker. If they overlap a bit, that’s fine; just try not to stack them too high.
In a small bowl, stir together the peach preserves and the onion soup mix until well combined. It will be thick and a little chunky—that’s perfect.
Pour the peach mixture evenly over the pork chops, using a spoon to spread it so each chop is nicely coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or on HIGH for 2.5–3.5 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C). Every slow cooker runs a little differently, so start checking toward the earlier time.
Once done, carefully remove the pork chops to a serving plate. Stir the sauce in the slow cooker to smooth it out, then spoon it over the pork chops as a glaze.
Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle. Serve warm with your favorite sides, making sure everyone gets a good drizzle of the peach glaze.
Variations & Tips
For picky eaters, you can reduce the onion flavor by using only half the packet of onion soup mix, or swap it for a teaspoon or two of mild garlic powder and a pinch of salt. If your family prefers less sweetness, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or a splash of apple cider vinegar into the peach preserves to balance the flavor. For bone-in pork chops, simply add about 30 minutes to the cooking time and check for tenderness. If you’d like a bit of spice, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce with the preserves. To make the glaze a little richer, whisk in a tablespoon of butter at the end while the sauce is still hot. You can also add sliced onions or a handful of baby carrots under the pork chops for an all-in-one meal—just know that this technically adds more than three ingredients, but it’s a nice way to tuck some extra veggies into dinner without much extra work.
