Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until smooth.
Place the sliced onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
Layer the seared pork chops over the onions in the slow cooker.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the pork chops to ensure they are fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours or until the pork chops are tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
Once cooked, serve the pork chops with the zesty sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of coleslaw for a complete meal.
