There's a certain kind of magic that happens when you let time and low heat work their spell on a good piece of meat, especially pork chops. This recipe for Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops is very much a testament to the ease of life out here where the golden fields hug the horizon and the pace is just a step slower. Originating from the necessity of hearty meals and the economy of cooking tough cuts till tender and flavorful, this dish has been on my table more times than I can count. It’s a meal I’d serve to anyone aiming to taste the comfort of the Midwest in a single bite. Perfect for a Sunday dinner or to impress guests with genuine country cooking without much fuss, it’s a favorite worth sharing.
A heaping portion of mashed potatoes does brilliantly underneath those thick, savory chops, soaking up that irresistible gravy. Or maybe you’d fancy some buttered egg noodles if you're looking for a little twist. Don't forget a side of green beans, cooked until just tender with a pinch of salt, or some sweet corn when it's in season, picked fresh from the stalk. And to start, a simple, crisp green salad with buttermilk dressing to balance those rich, deep flavors.
