This is one of the best slow cooker pork chops recipes that I've made. It's also a very easy recipe to make. The first step involves a very quick searing of the pork chops on each side.
After searing the meat, the pork chops are added to the slow cooker. Then you mix a simple sauce in bowl, combine the ingredients and pour over the pork chops.
The pork chops come out fork tender, which is always delicious.
Pork Chops and Peaches in Slow Cooker
Cooking up pork chops with peaches is nothing new. But, it is a nice spin on some other recipes that call for apple pie filling and pork chops or pineapple chunks with pork.
The trick to locking in the flavor of the meat is to sear the chops in a skillet over medium high heat. After that, the sauce mixture (which includes liquid from the canned peaches) is mixed before adding it to the crock pot.
After that, the peaches are laid over the top of the pork chops. Cover and cook and sit back and wait for the slow cooked aroma to fill the house.
Are These Slow Cooker Keto Pork Chops
This recipe CAN be keto, and it is certainly low carb, if make a few adjustments.
The first trick to make sure that this recipe fits into your daily carbohydrate allowance is to make sure to buy tomato sauce with NO sugar added.
Second, substitute the canned peaches for fresh or frozen peaches. Then, add an extra ½ cup water to the sauce to make up for the canned peach liquid the recipe calls for.
Finally, soy sauce can be used (sparingly) in a keto diet, so technically it is okay to use. However, you can use liquid amino instead.

These pork chops cooking time depends on if you use thick or thin cut pork chops. Most pork chops sold in pre-sorted packaging at the grocery store are on the thinner side. This kind of pork chop will be ready in 4-5 hours if cooked on high heat or 6-7 when cooked on low heat.
For thick-cut pork chops, add 1-2 hours to those times. And, as always, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
