Directions
- Prepare Slow Cooker
Lightly coat a 4–6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray or oil. - Layer Pork Chops
Place chops in a single layer at the bottom. Slight overlap is fine. - Add Brown Sugar

Stir soy sauce and water together, then pour gently around the edges of the chops, avoiding washing sugar off the tops. - 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.
- Adjust Sauce
Taste and thin with a splash of water if needed, or add a pinch more sugar for extra sweetness. - Serve
Ladle the savory-sweet sauce over the chops and enjoy warm.
