    Simple and saucy chops tonight. I used lamb chops and added some worcestershire sauce. Was heaps of delicious sauce left over. Was a hit with the whole family!

    Had this for tea tonight easy to put together, but the taste is amazing.
    I left out the onion, personal taste. I took the lid of for the last twenty minutes instead of the tea towel trick. Served with mash potato/sweet potato and pumpkin. Will definitely make again

    This recipe is absolutely delicious, I served it with the cheesy potato smash in book 5 and a side salad. Will definitely make again.
    Thank you.

  9. Love love love this dish. Even my fuss 3 year old meat eater enjoyed. Definitely doing this dish again maybe even using shoulder blade so I can shred it

  10. Would plum sauce go with this. My son doesn’t eat any tomatoes or sauces. Thank you so much .

  11. Believe it or not I loved these more then I do RIBS!!!! I used 2kg pork loin chops but left the qty of the sauce the same as above as it makes plenty of sauce and still cooked them for 4 hours on LOW. I thickened with some cornflour and served with mash DELISH and as the recipe is called they truly are ‘simple n saucy’

    Could you try this recipe with either lamb chops and/or chuck beef?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central August 4, 2021

      I haven’t tried personally but I don’t see why not Carlie 🙂 I would think beef would be better as less oily than lamb 🙂

  13. I halve this recipe as there is only two of us and it’s very yummy ?, I serve with creamy mashed potato, carrots and beans and I pour the left over sauce over the veggies. Make this quite often ?

  14. Karen Marshall March 6, 2022

    We have this dish quite regularly and it is yum, yum, yum.
    My partner also loves it.

  15. This was delicious.
    Only used 2 pork chops so halves the sauce and there was plenty.
    Served with mashed potatoes and veges.
    Will definitely make it again

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central June 15, 2022

      I don’t see why not so long as you enjoy them with the same flavours 🙂

  16. So simple to make and was delicious, will be adding to our list of regular dinners ? Thankyou

    Absolutely beautiful. So tasty, the pork was so tender. I never seem to get pork chops to be tender. So In future I will always cook them this way from now on. Thank you Paulene for another wonderful recipe. ?

  24. This was delicious, served with mashed potatoes, steamed corn and broccoli. Even my fussy toddler ate the chops as they were so tender. Thank you!

  25. 4 stars
    This sauce was amazing with Pork Chops with mash potato and steem veggies.
    That I had to try it with Chicken drumsticks
    The only change to the recipe ,I made was swopping the pork chops for 8 chicken drumsticks. and cooked on low for about 5hrs.
    Had plenty of sauce and served with chucky chips and salad.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central December 11, 2023

      Love this suggestion Trish!
      I’ll have to try that for sure 🙂

  26. Can we cut the sugar down a bit? there is just the two of us now and I dont like a lot of sweetness in my food though my husband likes a little.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central January 12, 2024

      Yes you can if you wish to. You can also used low sugar sauce varieties

    Such an easy recipe. Simple to make and very tasty end result.
    Will definitely be putting this one on a repeat recipe list. No complaints or comments were from my fussy food critic (my eldest son)

    I’m not a pork chop fan but holy moly slap me with a wet fish, this was DELICIOUS! 100% recommend.
    It’s simple, easy, and doesn’t take a whole lot of effort for something that was so good! We had ours on mash with sweet carrots.

    (As I’m in South Africa, I used Jimmy’s sauce for my BBQ sauce and was the perfect ingredient)

      Hands down my favourite feedback comment of the day Siobhan!! hahaha

  30. Desmond Stow October 16, 2024

    Cooked this today for the evening meal for my daughter and myself. Very tasty, very delicious. Used a mixture of tomato sauce and hot tomato sauce to go over the chops.

  31. Simple and delicious.
    Only added 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
    This was Hubby’s favourite meal of the week. He gave it a 10/10.
    Served with oven chips and vegetables.

    If surprise were a chair, I just fell off it. Knocked my socks off! I expected ‘meh’ and got ‘whoa.’ Served with mash and Mixed Veg. If you haven’t tried it, put it at the top of your list.

    Wow this was so yummy I used pork fillets the flavour was so good how does something so simple to make taste so good 😋 Thanks Pauline another favourite to add to my list 😀

  35. First time making and it was a big hit with the family. 8 chops and the sauce ingredients were more than enough. Thank you Pauline for all the help yesterday, would not have made it without your assistance. Will be on the family meal rotation now.

    This was absolutely delicious and so bloody easy. Thankyou for inspiring me. I used 6 pork scotch fillet steaks and stuck to the sauce etc quantities & time. Hubby was blown away as to how tender the meat was and how yummy the sauce is. Another Slow Cooker Central winner now on regular menu in our Nth QLD home. Served it with Maple Sweet Potatoes & Sesame Vegie stirfry.
