What Type of Pork Chops To Use

When slow-cooking pork chops, it’s best to use thick cuts. I like to use at least an inch-thick chop. preferably an inch and a half. Don’t use thin chops, because they will turn out dry. The thicker the pork chops, the more fat, which means the slow cooking process is less likely to dry it out.

I’ve used boneless and bone-in pork chops with equal success. The bone-in does help it stay moist due to more fat content, but the boneless works fine, too!

What Kind Of Pepperoncini To Use

This recipe calls for a jar of sliced pepperoncini, but you can certainly use whole pepperoncini – it makes no difference. What you do want is to include the juice when you dump the jar in the slow cooker. The tangy juice, or brine, is what helps tenderize and flavor the pork chops and help them to be fall-off-the-fork tender! However, if you want to cut back on the flavor from the brine, use just half or three-quarters of the juice in the jar.

Can I Slow Cook The Pork Chops On High?

Technically, you can, but I find that the low setting will give you a more tender pork chop, so if possible, opt for the longer timeframe.

How To Serve Slow Cooker Mississippi Pork Chops

These pork chops are perfect for side items such as creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. For vegetables, peas and carrots are always a yummy combo, but so are green beans or Brussels sprouts.
