Slow Cooker Maple Dijon Pork Chops

These super easy and tasty Slow Cooker Maple Dijon Pork Chops are cooked in a sweet and tangy sauce made from maple syrup and Dijon mustard.

How often do you use your Slow Cooker? I really don’t even know what I would do if I didn’t have mine.  It has saved dinner on many occasions.  Busy days in our house mean someone (meaning me) has to figure out what to have ready for dinner each evening.  Sometimes it is easy with quick one-pan meals, but sometimes I just want to crash when I come home.  

This is where, with a little planning, my slow cooker came into the scene.  Spending a few minutes in the evening to prep for dinner the next day, then in the morning toss it all in the slow cooker and go on with my day.  Knowing all I have to do when I got home would be to cook up a couple of vegetables is a great stress-reliever.  

Tips for this Recipe:

I use bone-in pork chops that are at least one inch thick.  If you use thinner, or boneless chops, beware that cooking time may be less.  I prefer bone-in with this recipe over boneless because they turn out super moist. You can brown the pork chops or not, totally a personal preference.

To prep this dish the night before, brown the pork chops on both sides and place in a container.  Slice your onion and place on top of the meat.  Cover and place in the refrigerator.  In the morning, take the pork chops and onions and place in your slow cooker.  Mix the sauce and pour over the meat and onions. Cook as directed in the recipe. Change up the sauce with honey and Dijon OR maple and stone-ground mustard.  

Sides I prep: veggie to roast or grill, tossed salad, and/or rice pilaf (I’ll go ahead and make this and then just reheat the next day).
