Step 4: Assemble in the Crockpot
Place the pork chops in the crockpot in a single layer if possible. Pour the sauce evenly over the top, making sure each chop is coated.
Step 5: Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook:
- On LOW for 6–7 hours, or
- On HIGH for 3–4 hours
The pork chops are ready when they are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Step 6: Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
If you prefer a thicker glaze:
- Remove the pork chops once cooked.
- Transfer the sauce to a saucepan.
- Simmer for 5–10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
You can also mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir it into the sauce while simmering.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Place the pork chops on a plate and spoon the rich brown sugar garlic sauce over the top.
Serving Suggestions
These pork chops pair beautifully with:
- Mashed potatoes (to soak up the sauce)
- Steamed rice
- Roasted vegetables like carrots or broccoli
- Buttered noodles
Tips for Best Results
- Use thicker pork chops to prevent overcooking
- Don’t skip the garlic—it’s essential for balancing the sweetness
- Adjust sweetness by reducing brown sugar slightly if you prefer a more savory taste
- Avoid overcooking on high for too long, as it can dry the meat
