Crock Pot

Ingredients

  • 4 bone in pork chops
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup half & half
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/2 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 1/2 lb baby carrots
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pat dry pork chops with paper towels and then season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side. Work in batches so you do not steam the pork chops and allow them to get color. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, add onions and cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Lower to medium heat and pour white wine into the pan. Using a wooden spoon scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. We want to deglaze and get all of that flavor. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, half and half, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.
  • At the bottom of the crock pot, add potatoes and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Place pork chops on top of the vegetables and pour in any accumulated juices. Lastly, pour gravy mixture over the pork chops.
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  • Once done, carefully remove tender pork chops from the slow cooker. They may break apart. The using a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables.
  • In a small bowl, mix corn starch and cold water to make a slurry to add to the gravy mixture in the crock pot. Stir then cover and cook on high for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  • Serve pork chops with gravy on top and vegetables on the side and enjoy!
