Maple Jack Pork Chops Crock Pot
Transform your weeknight dinners with these irresistible Maple Jack Pork Chops made effortlessly in a crock pot. This recipe combines the rich sweetness of maple syrup with the bold, smoky notes of Jack Daniel's whiskey for a flavor-packed glaze that perfectly complements tender, bone-in pork chops. Searing the chops before slow cooking locks in a golden crust, while onions, garlic, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce build layers of savory depth. The slow cooker does all the heavy lifting, creating pork so tender it practically falls off the bone. A quick cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce to a velvety consistency, ideal for drizzling over the chops and pairing with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted veggies. With only 15 minutes of prep, this dish is an effortless way to elevate your home-cooked meals while filling your kitchen with tantalizing aromas.
