Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless pork chops
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons liquid honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup beef broth
- Pepper to taste
Thickening Agent
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, beef broth, and pepper until fully combined to create the honey mustard sauce base.
- Add Sauce to Crockpot: Pour the prepared sauce mixture into your Crockpot, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Add Pork Chops: Place the boneless pork chops into the Crockpot and gently stir to coat them with the sauce. It’s fine if the pork chops are not completely submerged.
- Cook the Pork Chops: Cover the Crockpot with the lid and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
- Thicken the Sauce: About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Stir this mixture into the Crockpot sauce, cover again, and continue cooking for 15 minutes to let the sauce thicken.
- Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the pork chops are cooked, serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
Notes
- Use boneless pork chops for even cooking and tenderness.
- Adjust cooking time based on your Crockpot’s settings and thickness of pork chops.
- For a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry earlier and cook a bit longer, but avoid overcooking the pork.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
