Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops are one of those “set it and forget it” meals—tender, saucy, and very forgiving. Here’s a solid, flavorful version you can rely on 👇
🍯 Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- ½ cup Honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1–2 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening, optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Optional sear (adds flavor)
- Lightly brown the pork chops in a pan (2–3 minutes each side)
2. Make the sauce
- Mix honey, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, and spices
3. Slow cook
- Place pork chops in the slow cooker
- Pour sauce over them
- Cook on:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
4. Thicken the sauce (optional)
