• Can I use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless?
  Yes, however, bone-in chops might require slightly longer cooking time to reach the desired tenderness.
• Can I cook the pork chops on high instead of low?
  Yes, but, for optimal tenderness and flavor, I would slow cook on low.
• How can I thicken my gravy?
  There are two good ways to thicken the gravy (or sauce). The easiest method is to remove the lid from your slow cooker during the last 15-30 minutes of slow cooking to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. The other option is to stir in a slurry (one tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with two tablespoons of water) and slow cook until you reach your desired texture.

Variations.

• To Make Creamy Garlic Pork Chops, simple stir in two to three minced garlic cloves.
• For spicy pork chops you can add red pepper flakes and additional pepper.
• For extra flavor, you can sear the pork chops in a hot skillet before placing them in the crockpot.

How to Store Pork Chops

Once your pork chops have fully cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, they should keep for up to three days refrigerated or frozen for up to a few months. To reheat pork chops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight if needed and warm in a skillet or the microwave until heated through.
