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

Equipment Needed:
- Slow Cooker – 3 quart or larger
Ingredients:
- 2 lb. boneless pork chops
- cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Thanks
Hi
If the pork chops are smaller is it OK to put them on top of each other?
Yes, that works fine!

Can you substitute the apple cider vinegar with anything else?
Can you do white vinegar or even red wine? If you have to you can leave it out. The Worcestershire sauce will add enough tang.
Made this yesterday with one modification. I substituted soy sauce for the Worcestershire sauce.
Next time I’ll add carrots and mushrooms.
Excellent recipe.
How long for cooking on HIGH setting?
I would do 3.5 – 4 hours on high
Wow, if scale was 10, I’d give you 12! My husband said this was his favorite of all time (married 20yrs!!) I should have trusted you completely, but based on my old fav crock pork recipe, I thought needed more sauce, but you were spot on! Can’t wait to try your others!
Great to hear, we love this meal so much too.
