Serving Ideas

  • Spoon the chops and sauce over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice.

  • Round out the meal with dinner rolls or biscuits to mop up the sauce.
  • A crisp apple salad or applesauce pairs beautifully with the brown sugar flavor.

Slow Cooker Amish Brown Sugar Pork Chops

Ingredients

Ingredient Amount Notes
Pork chops (boneless or bone-in) 4 (1–1½ lbs total, ¾–1 inch thick) Raw
Brown sugar 1 cup, packed Light or dark
Low-sodium soy sauce ¼ cup Adds savory depth
Water ¼ cup Thins the sauce

Directions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker
    Lightly coat a 4–6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray or oil.
  2. Layer Pork Chops
    Place chops in a single layer at the bottom. Slight overlap is fine.
  3. Add Brown Sugar
    Pack generous handfuls of brown sugar directly over each chop. Press to cover the surface. Sprinkle any extra sugar around the chops.
  4. Mix Sauce
    Stir soy sauce and water together, then pour gently around the edges of the chops, avoiding washing sugar off the tops.
  5. Cook Low & Slow
    Cover and cook:

    • LOW for 6–7 hours, or
    • HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chops are tender and reach 145°F internally.
  6. Adjust Sauce
    Taste and thin with a splash of water if needed, or add a pinch more sugar for extra sweetness.
  7. Serve
    Ladle the savory-sweet sauce over the chops and enjoy warm.
