How to cook crockpot pork chops from scratch? 

1. Combine seasoning: Mix the ingredients for the seasoning in a small bowl.
2. Pat dry and rub seasoning: Place the pork chops on a cutting board after patting them dry. The pork chops should be seasoned on both sides.
3. Heat in a skillet: Heat the butter and olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. 
4. Add and set aside pork chops: Add the pork chops and cook for about 2 minutes, or until just lightly browned on both sides. Put the pork chops aside on a plate after removing them from the pan.
5. Add the other ingredients: To the skillet, add the onion, black beans, cumin, and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds while stirring.
6. Stir: Add the flour, then the chicken broth, and stir. Cook with the broth, simmering and thickening while stirring frequently. Take the pan off the stove.
7. Transfer: Place the pork chops on top of the skillet's contents in the slow cooker.
8. Cover and cook: Cook for two to three hours on low with a lid. When the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches at least 145° F, the meat is finished. Avoid overcooking, as this will cause them to become dry.
9. Transfer and cover: When the pork chops are done cooking, transfer them to a plate and cover them with foil.
10. Stir the gravy: Stir together one tablespoon of cornstarch and one tablespoon of water in a small bowl while the slow cooker is on high. Stir the mixture before adding it to the slow cooker. Cook the gravy for 15-20 minutes on high or until it thickens.

Frequently asked questions

Can you put raw pork in a slow cooker?

The answer is yes! You can put raw pork in a slow cooker. In fact, it's one of the best meats to cook in a slow cooker because it's so versatile. Pork chop, for instance, can be cooked in a slow cooker with just about any vegetables and sauce you like.

Pork shoulder is another great cut of pork to cook in a slow cooker. It's a tough cut of meat that benefits from the long, slow cooking process. Once it's cooked, it will be fall-apart tender and full of flavor.

So if you're looking for an easy and delicious way to cook pork, don't forget the slow cooker!

Should you brown pork chops before slow cooking?

Browning the meat before slow cooking adds another level of flavor to the dish. When the pork chops are browned, they create a crust outside of the meat that helps lock in the juices. This crust also helps to create a barrier between the meat and the liquid in the slow cooker so that the pork chops don't become overcooked and dry. 

If you're short on time, you can skip the browning step and still end up with juicy and flavorful pork chops.

Can you overcook pork chops in a slow cooker?

It's easy to overcook pork chops in a slow cooker. The high heat can cause the meat to dry out, making it tough and chewy. But if you cook them on low for just the right amount of time, they'll be juicy and delicious. Follow these tips to get perfectly cooked pork chops every time.

To avoid overcooking, start by browning the pork chops on the stovetop. This will help seal in their juices so they don't dry out during cooking. Then, add them to the slow cooker along with some liquid (like chicken broth or water), cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

When the pork chops are done cooking, they should be tender and juicy. If they're dry or tough, that means you overcooked them.

What is the secret to tender pork chops?

For tender and juicy pork chops, start by marinating them in a mixture of your favorite herbs and spices. Then, cook them slowly over low heat until they are cooked through. Do not overcook the pork chops, or they will become dry and tough.

If you are looking for flavor, try pan-frying your pork chops. Season the chops with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like before cooking them in a hot skillet. Pan-frying will give the pork chops a nice crispy exterior while still keeping them moist on the inside.

How to store leftovers:

Some easy ways to store your leftover pork chops from the crockpot. Store the cooked pork chops in shallow airtight containers in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life for quality and safety, or they can be securely wrapped in heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Cooked pork chops will keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days if properly refrigerated.

If you have any pork chops that are only partially cooked, you can store them whole in the fridge for up to three days. When you're ready to eat them, just finish cooking them in the crockpot on low until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Recipe tips:

Here are a few tips to make sure your pork chops turn out perfectly:

1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to flavor the meat.
2. Place the pork chops in the crockpot with the bone side down. This will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
3. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier and more flavorful chop.
