Spicy Kick: Incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce for some heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use frozen pork chops?
A: It’s best to use thawed pork chops for even cooking. If using frozen, increase cooking time and ensure the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Q: Can I add other vegetables?
A: Yes! Carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms work well in the slow cooker alongside pork chops.
Q: How do I avoid dry pork chops?
A: Cooking on low heat and layering onions beneath the meat helps keep pork chops moist. Also, avoid lifting the lid frequently during cooking.
