Barbecued Pork Chops
Tender pork loin chops slow-cooked in a rich barbecue sauce until perfectly soft. This hands-off method uses a slow cooker to do all the heavy lifting, finishing with a quick microwave gravy made from the cooking juices. It makes an ideal weeknight dinner when you want comfort food without standing over a hot stove. The meat turns out incredibly juicy and absorbs the sweet and savory flavors of the sauce, garlic, and onion.

- 2Transfer the cooked pork chops to a serving platter. Leave the onion slices on the meat and cover the platter to keep everything warm.
