Slow Cooker Herb-Infused Pork Chops with Potatoes, Onions, and Garlic

Servings: 4Ingredients

2 large onions, thinly sliced
4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 bone-in pork chops
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Spread the thinly sliced onions and potatoes along the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.

Add the minced garlic over the onions and potatoes for extra flavor.

Place the bone-in pork chops on top of the vegetables, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, mix together the hot water, brown sugar, white wine, soy sauce, and ketchup.

Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Add the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs on top for an herbal infusion.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Before serving, remove the herb sprigs and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Cover and cook on high until the cheese melts, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Variations & Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture. You can also substitute the white wine with apple cider for a sweeter flavor profile. If you prefer a different cheese, try using cheddar or gouda for a unique twist. For a lighter version, use boneless pork chops and reduce the cheese topping.
