kcalThese pork chops are smothered in a sweet and tangy cranberry sauce. They are really easy to make and are a great way to use up leftover canned cranberries from a holiday dinner. These go great with stuffing or mashed potatoes and green beans!
Ingredients
- Pork Chops
6-8 boneless pork loin chops
Cavender’s Greek Seasoning (or Seasoned Salt) and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
- Sauce
1 can / 14 oz jellied cranberry sauce (can use whole berry if you prefer)
1/3 cup cranberry juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp barbeque sauce
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Thickening
1/4 cup cranberry juice
1 tbsp + 1-1/2 tsp corn starch
Directions
- Season the pork chops with Greek seasoning (or seasoned salt) and pepper.
- Spray the inside of a slow cooker with non-stick spray.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Brown pork chops on both sides.
- Transfer to a plate.
- Add all sauce ingredients to a large bowl, and whisk until combined. (Don’t worry if it isn’t completely smooth it will melt once hot.)
- Put a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Top with 4 pork chops.
- Add half of the remaining sauce on top of the 4 pork chops, add the rest of the pork chops, and top with the remaining sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 hours, until pork is tender.
- Once pork chops are tender, carefully remove them to a plate.
- Whisk together the cranberry juice and the cornstarch, until smooth. Stir into crockpot juices.
- Put pork chops back into the crockpot, covering with some of the sauce.
- Turn crockpot to high and cook for 30 minutes, until sauce thickens.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Spicy brown mustard can be substituted for the Dijon.
- Apple juice can be substituted for cranberry juice.
