If you’re looking for a way to change up one of your go-to dinners, these Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Chops are definitely for you! A bonus? They’re made in the slow cooker! So all you have to do is set it up, let it cook, and eat. The prep time is only 15 minutes, too, so it really is almost too easy. Normally, you might have to make the sauce, protein, veggies, and starches separately, but with this recipe, everything goes in the slow cooker together. So now, not only are they a switch-up on a classic that only takes 15 minutes of prep, but they also have almost no clean-up! If you don’t have the exact fresh vegetables called for here, you can easily substitute whatever you happen to have on hand.
Something else we love about this recipe is that it can be made ahead of time, so you can toss it in a freezer bag, freeze it, and then thaw it whenever you’re ready to make it. Meals like this one are perfect to keep in the freezer for a day when you might not have time to prepare a meal, or when you run out of food in the house and don’t want to go to the grocery store.
