My Kids Favorite Slow Cooker Pork Chop

pork chop 1024x852 My Kids Favorite Slow Cooker Pork Chop

Pork is one of those meats that I could eat just about any way and any cut. If you think about pork is pretty amazing, from bacon to chops, so many flavors and varieties. We like to keep things lean in our house so instead of steak we will cook up a thick pork chop, which the kids call steak. Lately Ive been using the slow cooker and its got the kids begging nightly for their favorite dish. Get the recipe for this moist and tender pork chop after the jump

Slow Cooker Pork Chop Recipe

2 to 4 trimmed pork chops (we use boneless)

3 to 4 cups chicken stock

1 onion sliced

2 cloves crushed garlic

1 teaspoon thyme

salt and pepper

Generously salt and pepper the pork chops on both sides. Lightly oil a saut pan and heat over medium high. Place the pork chops in the pan once it is sizzling hot. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until brown crust forms, then flip and cook an additional minute to brown the other side. Remove from pan and place the sliced onions into the pan and cook until slightly tender and beginning to turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. In a slow cooker add stock, thyme and seared pork chops, making sure the chop are covered with liquid. Add the onion and garlic and cook on low for about 4 hours or until internal temp reads about 165 degrees.

Remove the the liquid from the slow cooker into a saut pan and cook over medium. Add flour to thicken until gravy consistency forms. Plate your pork and covers with gravy (the kids like the gravy in a small bowl so they can dip their meat). We serve this with harvest grains.

Real Food Fast: Pulled Pork Tacos

Pulled pork tacos 1024x682 Real Food Fast: Pulled Pork Tacos

Pulled pork and tacos are among the most popular meals around here, if you ask the kids. Why not get the two together for an easy, family-friendly fall meal thats perfect for busy fall nights. Keep the spiced pork mixture warm in the slow-cooker, and let everyone fill taco shells and top with their choice of toppings whenever theyre ready to eat. Pulled pork tacos are also great when you need to feed a crowd a perfect choice when friends and family gather to go trick-or-treating!


Browning the pork shoulder first boosts flavour the long, slow cooking time breaks down tough connective tissues, resulting in pull-apart tender meat with a ton of flavour.

Pulled Pork Tacos

For pork mixture:
2-3 lb. pork shoulder
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
salt and pepper
canola oil, for cooking
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup chicken or beef stock
1/2 cup salsa and/or guacamole

taco shells or small soft flour tortillas
chopped lettuce, tomato and avocado
shredded cheese
salsa
sour cream

Rub the spices all over the surface of the pork, seasoning it generously with salt and pepper and rubbing it into the meat. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil and brown the pork on all sides, turning it with tongs. Transfer it to a slow cooker (or pot with a lid) and add the onions to the pan. Stir until they start to soften and turn golden, and add the stock to the pan, stirring it around to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour over the pork shoulder, add the salsa, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. (Alternatively, cover and bake at 275F for 2 1/2-3 hours.)

Remove the lid and shred the pork with two forks. Taste and adjust seasonings, if you like. Serve with the tacos and toppings. Serves 8-10.

Slow Cooker Spicy Peanut Chicken Curry

curry 1024x1024 Slow Cooker Spicy Peanut Chicken Curry

With these crazy busy fall days, Im all over slow cooker recipes toss everything into the CrockPot in the morning as I assemble school lunches, and dinner is already done before Im out the door. Curries are some of my favorites especially those enriched with peanut butter. Made with skinless chicken thighs, this dish is quick and flavorful, takes under 5 minutes to throw together, and makes a delicious meal served over rice. It also freezes well if you have a large slow cooker, double the recipe and freeze leftovers for an emergency meal on a cold day down the road.


If youre going wheat or gluten-free, use rice flour it simply thickens the sauce as it cooks.

Slow Cooker Spicy Peanut Chicken Curry

Adapted from Crock-Pot.ca

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 large thin-skinned potato, cut into chunks
1 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. flour
1 19 oz (540 mL) can diced tomatoes, with their juices

1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp turmeric (optional)
Chopped fresh cilantro and/or salted peanuts, for garnish

Place the chicken in your CrockPot and arrange the diced potatoes and onion around the edge. Sprinkle with flour.

Add the tomatoes, peanut butter, sriracha, garlic, soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, turmeric (if you have it), cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
