Servings 6 people

Equipment

  • Slow cooker (crock-pot)
  • small mixing bowl
  • measuring cups & spoons
  • garlic crusher or knife,
  • tongs or fork

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless pork chops
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the boneless pork chops in the slow cooker in a single layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground ginger.
  • Add the soy sauce and ketchup to the bowl and stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Smash the two garlic cloves (or finely mince) and add to the sauce mixture.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir the sauce one more time so everything is well combined.
  • Pour the sauce over the pork chops in the crock pot, making sure each chop gets some sauce.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • When ready, spoon the cooking juices over the meat — those juices are flavor gold. Serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

- Check the pork near the end of cooking so you don’t overcook—overcooked chops can fall apart and become pulled meat.
-The sauce will be sweet-savory with a ginger background and garlicky lift — it makes a lovely spoonable glaze for mashed potatoes or steamed rice.
  • If you want a slightly thicker glaze, remove the chops when done and simmer the sauce in a small saucepan for 3–5 minutes to reduce.
