Southwest Style Slow Cooker Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Lay the pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper. Put the flour on a small plate. Coat both sides of the chops with the flour and put back on the baking sheet to come to room temperature while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Add the mustard, honey and 1 tablespoon of water to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Cut the shallot into rings and add to the cooker, separating the rings. Core and cut the apple into 1/2-inch chunks and add to the cooker with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine the shallots and apples with the sauce. Spread the mixture in an even layer and lay the pork chops on top, overlapping as needed.
• Cover and cook on low until the pork is cooked through, about 3 hours. Transfer the chops to a large plate and top with the warm apples and sauce. Serve with creamy grits or buttered rice if desired.

Steps:

• Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, mix tomatoes, beans, chiles, onions, bell pepper and taco seasoning mix. Add pork shoulder; turn to coat.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until very tender. Remove pork from slow cooker; when cool enough to handle, shred meat with fork. Stir shredded pork back into mixture in slow cooker. Serve with rice; top with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Pour 1/2 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
• Drain and discard marinade from chops. Place on a broiler pan rack. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Baste with reserved marinade.
• Serve topped with remaining marinade and garnished with avocado and cilantro.

Steps:

• 1. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning. Cook pork chops in skillet 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until brown.
• 2. In 3- to 4 1/2- quart slow cooker, mix remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning, the salsa, corn and beans until well blended. Top with pork chops, overlapping as necessary, pressing gently into bean mixture.
• 3. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 5 hours.
• 4. Remove pork chops to serving platter. Cover to keep warm. With fork or potato masher, mash beans slightly until slightly thickened. Serve pork chops over beans. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
