Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, black pepper, onion powder, and salt to create a marinade.
  2. Place the pork chops in the crockpot and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  2. Once cooked, remove the pork chops and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  3. Optional: To thicken the sauce, pour the remaining liquid into a saucepan and simmer on medium heat until reduced by half.

Notes

Serve these pork chops with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Consider adding herbs or vegetables for variations.
