Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Onions have tender boneless pork chops in a tangy sauce with sweet yellow onions.
Hi all! I don’t have many pork chop recipes on the blog, and I think this recipe I just made is a keeper. The pork chops are cooked in a slightly sweet tangy sauce along with sweet onions and butter.
These pork chops would make for a good summer recipe alongside baked beans and corn on the cob. I don’t do a ton of grilling in the summer, I like the meat to be very tender and the crock pot always does that for me.
Another tangy sauced pork chop recipe I love is this Baked Cranberry Pork Chops from These Old Cookbooks, it’s a must try too.
How to make:
You will need these ingredients:
- Boneless pork chops
- Cooking oil for browning the chops
- Worcestershire sauce
- Apple cider vinegar
- Brown sugar
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- Red pepper flakes
- Sweet yellow onion
- Salted butter
Add a small amount of cooking oil to a pan on the stove top and brown the pork chops, no need to cook these completely.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the pork chops and flip them around the sauce to coat. Add the sweet yellow onion and place the butter on top.
Cook on LOW for 6 hours for tender chops. The edges where the onions sit get caramelized and the sauce has slow cooked to perfection at this point.
Such a great meal for any night of the week! The chops turn out very tender in this recipe.
What to serve with these pork chops?
- Baked beans – my favorite way to serve
- Corn on the Cob
- Mashed potatoes
- Tossed salad with dressing
- Rice pilaf
- Baked potatoes loaded with toppings

July 16, 2018 at 4:56 pmMade this today. Needed a little more salt than what the recipe called for, but other than that it was a keeper.

September 6, 2018 at 4:40 amI made this last night for dinner. Wow! My husband and teen son (who is celiac and eats gluten-free) wolfed it down. The only change I made was to back off the butter; I only used 2 tablespoons and it was plenty. Really good, really easy – what more can you ask for? Thanks!

January 11, 2019 at 8:51 amI got 2.5lbs of boneless pork chops. So now how much of each thing should I put in? Or should i leave the ingredients how it is?

April 4, 2019 at 1:40 pmMy daughter made this and loved it. Do you know how it can be adapted for the Instant Pot?
Sarah Olson says
April 5, 2019 at 10:38 amI’m sure it can. Possibly use the chicken setting since it’s about the same size as chicken breasts.

June 5, 2019 at 10:29 amWould this recipe work cooked in a cast iron casserole in the regular oven?
Sarah Olson says
June 5, 2019 at 10:40 amI don’t see why not! Find another recipe that has the same amount of chops that is an oven recipe.
