There’s nothing like sinking your teeth into tender, slow cooker pork chops that have been infused with rich flavor. Especially when that flavor is a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I’ve shared many a pork chops recipe, but to spice things up (see what I did there?), I made a barbecue sauce recipe with a little heat that turned out quite scrumptious. If like me, you’re on the lookout for easy delicious recipes that take the pressure off of crazy days, then this bbq dish is for you.
Slow Cooker Pork Chops
You’ll find a printable recipe card and fun video below, but basically, here’s the process for this recipe: Add seasoned pork chops to an oiled skillet (this step can be skipped but it adds so much flavor) on med-high heat. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add meat to the slow cooker. In a large bowl, stir together ingredients for barbecue sauce and pour over pork chops. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours! You are done.
Easy Peasy!

SLOW COOKER PORK CHOPS INSTRUCTIONS
Here’s your printable recipe card for the best slow cooker pork chops recipe prep in 10 minutes or less:
- 2 T olive oil to skillet
- large package of pork chops (I prefer with the bone for this recipe)
- 1 T garlic powder
- 1/2 T pepper
- 1 T salt
- 2 cups sweet BBQ sauce
- 3/4 cup Heinz 57
- 2 T hot sauce
- (optional) Add seasoned pork chops to an oiled skillet on med-high.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Add meat to the slow cooker.
- In a large bowl, stir barbecue sauce ingredients.
- Pour BBQ sauce over pork chops.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours!
Like I mentioned, searing the meat quickly on the outside with golden brownness caramelizes the surfaces of the meat, which enhances the pork chops with an incredible depth of flavor. It also gives the meat a more appetizing color. I made a video with some visual eye candy just for you!

You are SO kind, Katherine! Made my day. Believe it or not I’ve had a few flops when it comes to slow cookers but this one is a no-brainer for sure!
shan
Shan, you had me at slow cooker!! My husband will love the spicy kick too! I may have to tone it down a bit for myself, still working my way up to heat, but I’m getting there, slowly but surely!
Author
I hear ya! I used to never like spicy [I’m still pretty wimpy compared to my crew], but I love the kick that this sauce gives without being too much. 😉

That meat looks so juicy and delicious! This is exactly how I like my pork chops.
I always enjoy a good slow cooker meal. With my oldest starting kindergarten this year (so longer school days) it’s nice to be able to have dinner ready when he gets home. Both of my boys will eat pork chops, so I’ll have to try this soon!
I love tender juicy pork chops. I hate biting into dry, really tough ones! The BBQ sauce is a nice bonus.
oh my gosh, that is so mouthwatering. I am so hungry right now just by looking at the photo. Might try this someday.
Ok that is a meal I could definitely enjoy! Love how you BBQ pork chops turned out, look delicious!
They look gorgeous and so delicious! Slow cooking is the best way to have a tasty and healthy meal. It’s dinner time now and I think I am so hungry after all these photos!
I love BBQ! This looks amazing and really yummy. A great way to have BBQ in the months that it’s not exactly grilling season.
Reading your posts are so dangerous they make me so hungry ! I look forward to making this recipe.

Oh my goodness, I HAVE to try this!!! My hubby loves BBQ but always looks down his nose at my slow-cooker meals (he finds them “flavorless”), and we all LOVE pork chops, so this sounds like a win-win!
Author
It is hard to infuse that flavor in the slow cooker sometimes but I hope you knock his socks off with this one, Flossie! 😉 Let me know!

This recipe looks easy enough! I bet my Dad would love it. I usually make him a pork roast in my slow cooker and we shred it for sandwiches. Will have to try this next time.
Author
Shredding it for sandwiches sounds awesome! Let me know how it goes when you make it!
