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

Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Onions
Equipment Needed:
- Slow Cooker – 3 quart or larger
Ingredients:
- 2 lb. boneless pork chops
- cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper

Instructions:
- Start by setting a skillet on the stove top over medium high heat. When the pan is hot just enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Brown the pork chops on both sides, don’t worry about cooking through the slow cooker will do that. Set aside for now.

- Add the browned pork chops, then add the onions and butter slices.
- Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Serve and enjoy!
Delicious. I made them last night for dinner my husband loved them my mother-in-law loved them I doubled the recipe and made 4 bone in pork chops with two vadeilia onions. I also made the rice pilaf. it was very delicious . I give it a five thumbs up!
I made this tonight it was absolutely delicious. My husband liked it I also made the riicepilaf recipe that you had attached with us I will definitely make this a future. Made asparagus also.
Second time I am making these. Loved them the first time! Chops were juicy and tender. My only complaint was not enough onion so this time I added a second onion. Hope that’s enough … if not I’ll add another onion next time.
Can you add sliced potatoes on top of the onions? Making the recipe tomorrow and wanted to add some potatoes… Any suggestions..
I think that should work fine!
Made this last night and definitely a recipe I’ll be keeping! Everyone was fighting for the last of the sauce & onions tp top their mashed potatoes. Can I just double the ingredients to have more juice, if I add a few more pork chops?
Yes, that will work fine!
I made this today. After 6 hours the chops fell apart which made it easier to actually add some flavor to them. Would not make this again. But will have to say, once I added my homemade bbq sauce it made a good good pulled pork sandwich
i tried this recipe last week for the first time really enjoyed it will us it a lot
If I used bone in pork chops, what time and/or temperature adjustments would be recommended? TIA!
These are amazing
How long would I cook this recipe on high? Sound delicious but I don’t have 6 hours. Thanks in advance!
I would do 3.5-4 hours on high
Just wanted to let you know that I made this recipe tonight – it was delicious! I ended up making it in a deep fry pan on the stovetop instead of in a crock pot (didn’t think pork chops really need to be cooked in a crock pot. Saved dragging it out and cleaning afterward). I used only 3 boneless pork chops, about 1″ thick. I followed the printed directions, even putting the onion slices and butter on top. I cooked them covered on med-low for about 35″-45″, turning every 10″ or so. The pork chops got a nice glaze from all the turning, and the tiny bit of steam escaping reduced the sauce very nicely. Served with buttered wide egg noodles and brussels sprouts, I’d say it was the best dinner I’ve found in a while!
Any changes to the timing if I want 6 servings?
No, the same amount of time will work.
This recipe is DELICIOUS. I used boneless pork chops and had to replace the Worcestershire with soy sauce. I also chose to cook on High in the slow cooker. The pork chops were very juicy and fell right apart. Makes for amazing leftovers, too :). Served with brown rice.
I just finished making Slow Cooker Pork Chops & Onions.
Worse I have even done in a slow cooker. The pork chops were so hard to chew. They did fall apart though but they were hard to eat.
The sauce was great and that’s the only thing that was good.
Followed your receipe exactly but chops were hard.
I love pork chops and was looking forward to eating them; they fell apart but they were HARD to eat.
IThis is the only comment I had made.
How long was they cooking
I want to try this but is it sweet?
It slightly sweet if you are worried about it, cut the brown sugar in half.
