Notes

What is the best onion for this recipe?
Sweet yellow onion goes the best with pork chops, though red onions will do well if you can't find sweet onions. The dish will look different with red onions but still have great flavor.
Variations: 
  • Carrots, potatoes, green beans, and mushrooms can be added to the crockpot along with the onions for a complete, flavorful meal.
  • The butter can be left out but it does add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • To add sweetness, add one sliced granny smith apple.
  • Bone-in pork chops are fine to use.
