Slow Cooker Pizza Pork Chops

Spaghetti is a very economical meal, but I am always looking for ways to make it unique and change it up a bit. These Slow cooker Pizza Pork Chops are kid friendly and delicious! Try them this week instead of boring ole’ spaghetti.

Recipe type: Dinner

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 6 hours

Total time: 6 hours 10 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients

6 Pork loin chops, 1 inch thick (about 2¼ lb)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
Tablespoon minced Garlic
2 cups tomato pasta sauce
4 cups cooked orzo or other pasta (cooked)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

Instructions

Place oil in Large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle Pork chops with salt and pepper and cook for about 4 minutes on each side.
Place pork in 3½- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle onion and garlic over pork. Add pasta sauce.
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours.
Place orzo or pasta on platter. Top with pork and sauce. Sprinkle with cheese
*Suggestion* Put things you like on your pizza in the crock pot with the pork. I bet things like mushrooms, bell pepper, or red pepper would be delicious.
I served these with regular pasta, because I haven’t been to the store yet this week to get the orzo. You could serve these with any type of pasta and they would be so yummy!
