Categories     Pork

Time 5h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pork loin chops with bone (I get fairly thick chops so they don't dry out in the crock pot)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I like to use either canola or olive oil)
2 cups no-sugar-added ketchup (low carb)
1/2 cup packed splenda brown sugar substitute
1 teaspoon hickory-flavored liquid smoke (don't omit this!)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle pork chops with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, brown the pork chops in oil on both sides.
  • In a bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and liquid smoke.
  • Pour half of the sauce into the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Top with pork chops and remaining sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-1/4 to 5 hours or until meat is tender.

This recipe is a keeper! The pork chops were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was lip-smacking good. I served it over mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.
