- Add vegetable oil to large oven-safe skillet and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Once pan is hot, add seasoned pork chops and cook, without flipping or moving, for 2-3 minutes.
- Using tongs, flip pork chops over, and transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake 5 minutes, then flip pork chops back over, return to the oven and bake another 4 minutes, until pork is cooked to 145 F degrees (internal temperature).

Tips:
- To achieve perfectly cooked pork chops, ensure they are evenly browned before slow cooking. Searing helps develop flavor and prevents the meat from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If your pork chops are tightly packed, they won't cook evenly.
- Use a thick, flavorful sauce to keep the pork chops moist and juicy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker along with the pork chops for a complete meal. Carrots, potatoes, and onions are all great options.
- If you're short on time, you can brown the pork chops in a skillet before transferring them to the slow cooker. This will help speed up the cooking process.
