I don't know many people that would consider pork chops their favorite cut of meat. How could they even compete with bacon? Honestly, they never stood a chance. Most of the time pork chops come out dry and flavorless. Insert crock-pot! Slow cooking your pork chops develops more flavor and keeps them juicy. Giving the pork chops a quick sear in the skillet before adding to the crock-pot isn't just for the color. It helps trap in some juices and gives it a nice almost caramelized crust which adds tons of flavor. Fruit with your pork chops? YES. Peaches add flavor and some much needed extra juice. The juicy sweetness pairs so well with the pork chops and once you try it you'll never look back. Apples also go very well with pork chops! Because pork chops are leaner, the longer they cook past the recommended time, the more they will start to dry out. Since we are trying our hardest to make these extra juicy don't let them cook for too long after they reach the recommended internal temp of 145℉.
