Ingredients
- 4 boneless loin pork chops mine were 1.5 inches thick
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup beer or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large, non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan to prevent sticking. Add the chops and brown each chop, about 5 minutes per side.
- Place the chops into a slow cooker set on low.
- Return the skillet to the heat and add the beer (I used a pale ale) to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. If you don't like cooking with beer, use chicken broth.
- Whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup and salt. Add it to the hot skillet and let it simmer for one minute.
- Pour the sauce over the pork chops in the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
- Serve the pork chops with the sauce in the slow cooker.
