Tips

  • Bone-in pork chops stay juicier during slow cooking.
  • Yukon Gold or baby potatoes hold their shape best.
  • Browning the pork chops first adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
  • Add mushrooms or carrots for additional vegetables.
  • For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir it into the crockpot during the final 20 minutes of cooking.
  • Fresh herbs provide the best flavor and presentation.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up every drop of the creamy sauce.

Notes

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze cooled portions for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of broth or milk.
  • The sauce will naturally thicken after refrigeration.
