Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. This step is optional but helps lock in the juices and adds flavor.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, and liquid smoke (if using).
Add the water to thin out the sauce slightly and mix until smooth.
Pour a small amount of the BBQ sauce into the bottom of the crock pot to lightly coat it.
Place the seared pork chops in the crock pot in a single layer, then pour the remaining BBQ sauce over the top, ensuring all the pork chops are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked.
Once done, carefully remove the pork chops from the crock pot and serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or steamed vegetables.
Drizzle extra BBQ sauce from the crock pot over the pork chops before serving for additional flavor.
