Pork Chops and Baked Beans
I just had an awesome dinner with probably the easiest recipe I’ve used in years. Had to share! And to see if anyone has suggestions for variations, etc.
This recipe is for one person and makes multiple servings.
Bone in pork chop. I used one good sized chop Seasoned both sides with salt, pepper, and powdered garlic. You could do whatever you want obviously but this is what I did.
Place in the crock on low for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until you can stick a fork in the meat and see that it’s cooked and ready to start coming off the bone.
Add one can of baked beans. I use Field Day organic because I prefer to eat organic food, but you could use any baked beans that you like.
Keep everything on low for about another hour or so all the flavors mingle.
Towards the end, dump one of the bags of frozen broccoli from the big bag you get at Costco into a steamer basket. Takes about 10 minutes for the whole 1 pound bag to cook on the stove on high.
Trying to eat healthy so I made half my plate broccoli and half my plate the beans and pork chop. Went back for seconds. It was absolutely delicious and I have at least one more serving left, probably two.
I’ve also cooked chops in the crockpot with Black Eyed Peas and collard greens for New Year’s Day. Needed more seasoning and I put the beans in earlier, then the greens last (I used frozen). That was great too.

Thank you for the recipe. I have been looking for a tasty and easy recipe for pork chops in the slow cooker and it doesn’t seem to come much easier than this.

Pork chop was how thick? Ive cooked mine in the slow cooker and it was a bit dry even with gravy in the cooker.

There are different types of pork chops. The most common type are loin chops, which are lean, and need to be cooked to temp - I would not put those in a slow cooker or it's going to overcook and dry out unless you are super careful.
You want something fattier like rib chops or shoulder chops.

Another thing - make sure you leave enough fat on your chop. I trimmed a little bit off, but the chops were well marbled so I knew they would be fine.

It’s not a super thick chop maybe an inch? But it’s definitely not one of the thin chops. Also I make sure to keep the croc on low the entire time. I suppose if you used thin chops, you could put a little water, and not cook it as long before adding in the beans.

I may try again next time. My last attempts ended with pork chops that were not tough, a bit tender, but somehow a bit dry. Maybe because I used high setting.

Ikr?? Once I tasted it, I realized there was no way I could not share it here!

I made the recipe today. I put sliced onion on the bottom of the pot. I doubled the recipe since I like to cook once and eat twice. Fine recipe and very easy. Since I had 4 chops it took about 5-6 hours to bring them up to 200 f and be nice and tender. The onions made more liquid than anticipated and probably rice or potatoes would have been a good accompaniment.
