Now that you have your ingredients, it’s time to get started on the recipe. I love how this recipe is so easy to make and turns into a delicious and flavorful dish that will impress your family and friends.
This recipe combines the sweetness of canned peaches with the tanginess of barbecue sauce, creating a delicious glaze that complements the flavor of the pork chops perfectly. The addition of onions and jalapeños adds a bit of spice and depth to the dish.
How to Make Pork Chops in the Crockpot
Step 1: Brown the Pork Chops (Optional) To begin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper to pork chops. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned. This step helps to seal the flavor and juices of the pork chops but if you don’t have time just skip it.
Step 2: Place the browned pork chops in the crockpot. Combine the sliced peaches (with the syrup), barbecue sauce, chopped onion, and chopped jalapeños (if using) in the crock pot. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Step 3: Cover the crockpot and cook the pork chops on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and cooked through. If you’re short on time, you can also cook the pork chops on high heat for 2-3 hours.
Step 4: Once the pork chops are fully cooked, remove them from the crockpot and transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon the peach and barbecue sauce mixture over the pork chops, and serve immediately. You can also garnish the dish with some fresh herbs or sliced jalapeños for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Pork Chops and Peaches
Pork chops and peaches may seem like an unlikely combination, but they actually work really well together. The sweetness of the peaches complements the savory flavor of the pork chops, while the acidity of the barbecue sauce adds a tangy note to the dish.
When buying canned peaches, it’s important to choose peaches that are packed in syrup so they will make a thicker sauce. The peaches in the juice will work but they will have less flavor than the syrup.
If you don’t have canned peaches on hand, you can also use fresh peaches. Simply peel and slice the peaches. Add about 1/4 cup of sugar to add the sugar lost from the canned peach liquid.
Side Dish Ideas
Here are some easy sides to serve with your peach pork chops to make a complete meal!
- Green Beans: Green beans are my go-to side dish for pork chops. They are so easy to make and the bright crisp flavor goes great with the sweet flavor of the peach pork chops. Plus, you can even add them right into the Crockpot for the last hour and make a one-pot dinner.
- Mashed Potatoes: Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that pairs well with pork chops. You can also add some garlic, herbs, or cheese to give them some extra flavor.
- Grilled Vegetables: If you’re in the mood for something light and fresh, grilled vegetables are a great option. You can use any vegetables you like, but some great options include zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions.
- Quinoa Salad: Quinoa is a great gluten-free grain that makes a delicious and nutritious side dish.
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are a great side dish that is naturally gluten-free. Roast them in the oven until they’re tender and caramelized, and serve them alongside your pork chops.
These easy side dishes pair well with peach pork chops for a quick and delicious dinner. They’re also healthy and nutritious, for an extra bonus!
What is the best cut of pork for this pork chop recipe?
When it comes to making peach pork chops, bone-in pork chops or thick boneless are the best cuts to use because they’re more flavorful and tender. Thin pork chops will cook too quickly for this crock pot pork chop recipe.
If you’re buying pork chops specifically for this recipe, look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a nice layer of fat on the outside. This will ensure that the pork chops stay moist and tender throughout the cooking process. The bone helps to retain moisture and adds to the overall flavor of the dish.
Can I use frozen pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen pork chops for this recipe. However, you’ll need to thaw them completely before cooking. To thaw frozen pork chops, place them in the refrigerator for 24 hours or until they are completely thawed. Once they’re thawed, you can proceed with the recipe as normal.
Should I brown the pork chops before adding them to the crockpot?
You don’t have to brown the pork chops. Browning the pork chops before adding them to the crockpot will just add extra flavor and texture to the pork chops.
When you brown the pork chops, you’re essentially caramelizing the meat, which adds a depth of flavor to the dish. It also helps to seal in the juices, which will keep the pork chops moist and tender as they cook in the crockpot. But I have made these without browning them and they are still yummy!
Can I substitute the jalapeños with a milder pepper?
Yes, you can substitute the jalapeños with a milder pepper like bell pepper or poblano pepper. The jalapeños add a bit of spice to the dish, so if you prefer a milder flavor, you can use a different type of pepper. You can also leave out the peppers altogether if you don’t like spicy food.
How spicy is this recipe?
The spiciness of the peach pork chops with jalapeños can vary depending on the number of jalapeños you use. If you use a lot of jalapeños or leave the seeds in, the dish will be quite spicy. If you use only a small amount of jalapeños or remove the seeds, the dish will be milder. You can adjust the level of spiciness to your personal taste preferences by adding more or fewer jalapeños, or by using a different type of pepper.
What’s the difference in taste between fresh and canned peaches in this recipe?
Fresh peaches will have a slightly different taste than canned peaches, but the difference is not significant. Canned peaches work well in this recipe and are a great option when fresh peaches are not in season. The canned peaches are usually packed in syrup, which adds sweetness to the dish. If you prefer a fresher taste, you can use fresh peaches instead. To use fresh peaches, peel and chop them before adding them to the recipe.
Can I make peach pork chops on the stovetop instead of in the crockpot?
Yes, you can make peach pork chops on the stovetop. Follow the same instructions for browning the pork chops and then add the onions, jalapeños, and peach bbq sauce to the pan. Cook the pork chops on low heat for 20-30 minutes or until they are fully cooked and tender. You’ll need to check the pork chops frequently to make sure they don’t burn or dry out.
Can I make these pork chops in the oven?
Yes, you can make peach pork chops in the oven. Follow the same instructions for browning the pork chops and then place them in a baking dish. Pour the peach bbq sauce over the pork chops and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until the pork chops are fully cooked. You can also broil the pork chops for the last few minutes to give them a nice browned finish. When making the recipe in the oven, make sure to use a baking dish that’s big enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer, with some space between them. This will ensure that the pork cooks evenly and doesn’t dry out.
How do I know when they are fully cooked?
The peach pork chops are fully cooked when the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the pork chops. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork, making sure not to touch the bone. If the temperature is below 145°F, continue cooking the pork chops until they reach the correct temperature. It’s important not to overcook the pork chops, as this will result in dry and tough meat.
Food Allergies
All of the ingredients I use are gluten-free. My husband has celiac disease, which means you are allergic to gluten.
You will need to make sure to use gluten-free barbeque sauce to keep this recipe gluten-free. There are a few barbeque sauces that have gluten in them when they use soy sauce or other ingredients that contain gluten. Always make sure to scan the nutritional information and ingredients when selecting your barbeque sauce.
