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

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.
