Slow-Cooked Pork Chops Recipe
Pork chops seem easy to make but they can get dry before you know it. When that is the case there is not much you can do about it.
Fortunately, I now have my beloved crockpot and dry chops are a thing of the past. In the slow cooker, the pork gets a chance to slowly become soft and tender.
