Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 8 oz canned tomato sauce
- 4 oz canned green chilies (diced)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each pork chop for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
In the crock pot, combine diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chilies, onion, garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the chili sauce.
Place the seared pork chops into the crock pot, submerging them slightly into the chili mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or chili powder if needed.
Serve the pork chops with the chili sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
