    Smothered Pork Chop Ingredients

    Pork Chops- I prefer bone-in pork chops because it adds extra flavor but you can also opt for boneless chops as well. I thick-cut pork chops are better for this recipe over thin pork chops because the slow cooker is going to break it down and you don't want them to fall apart too much. The cut is up to you, if you want to do center cut or rib chops.

    Root Vegetables- The sides of potatoes and carrots will be cooking as the slow cooker as well as onions and garlic for flavors.
