We’re headin’ into that time of year that I love, both for weather and for cooking. I love soups, stews, casseroles, braised meats and gravy…you know, comfort foods!
Every year or so, my Church friends and I compile a cookbook of some of our favorite dishes, and this year, we published our 3rd cookbook with over 300 delicious recipes! Most of the recipes are very easy to prepare and require just a few ingredients, but are outstanding for weeknight meals, potlucks or whatever the occasion. This is one of those recipes, submitted by my good friend, Amanda.
This recipe is super easy, cooks all by itself in the crockpot and is waiting for me and my family after a long day at work. What else can you ask for?!

Because it cooks for so long, make sure to use thick, lean pork chops, or I have also used a lean pork tenderloin roast. I just double the other ingredients if I’m using a larger amount of meat, like a roast. We usually eat this with steamed rice and roasted asparagus or steamed broccoli.
Low ‘n Slow: Slow Cooker San Francisco Chops
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 2 T vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ c soy sauce
- ¼ c red wine or chicken broth
- 2 T brown sugar
- ¼ t red pepper flakes
- 1 T cornstarch
- 1 T cold water
- Hot Cooked Rice, for serving
- Green onions, sliced, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet, brown pork chops on both sides in oil; transfer to a slow cooker. Add garlic to drippings; cook and stir until aromatic or golden. Stir in soy sauce, wine, brown sugar and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over chops.
- Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until meat is tender. Remove chops - they will probably be falling apart by this time! Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into slow cooker. Return chops to slow cooker. Cover and cook for at least 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions, if desired.
I am passionate about good food, cooking for family and friends, and creating recipes that form lasting memories from one generation to the next. I hope you find inspiration for cooking and creating here!
