SLOW-COOKER CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Slow-Cooker Chipotle Pork Chops image

I love the tender texture of pork chops made in the slow cooker! The flavor of this sauce is similar to barbecue, but with a little extra kick. The crispy onions on top add an extra, delectable crunch. -Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah
