Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients
6 bone-in pork chops
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp apple c***r vinegar
2 tbsp ketchup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp cold water
Serves: 6 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 6 hours
How to Make: Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and arrange the pork chops on top. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, apple c***r vinegar, ketchup, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper. Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3 hours, until the pork chops are tender and reach at least 145°F (63°C). For a thicker sauce, transfer the chops to a plate and mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Stir it into the sauce and cook on HIGH for 10–15 minutes until thickened. Return the pork chops to the sauce and serve.

Crock Pot Mississippi Steak Bites Recipe
Ingredients
2 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-size pieces
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
1 packet (1 oz) au jus gravy mix
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
5–6 whole pepperoncini peppers
¼ cup pepperoncini juice
½ tsp black pepper
1 small onion, sliced, optional
Serves: 6 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 6 hours
How to Make: Place the steak bites in the slow cooker and add the sliced onion if using. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning, au jus gravy mix, and black pepper evenly over the steak. Arrange the butter pieces and pepperoncini peppers on top, then pour in the pepperoncini juice. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3½ hours, until the steak is tender. Stir everything together before serving so the steak bites are coated in the buttery, savory sauce. Taste before adding any additional salt because the seasoning mixes are already salty. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Crock Pot Cracked Potato Soup Recipe
Ingredients
6 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ranch seasoning mix
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
2 green onions, sliced, optional for garnish
Serves: 6 | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 7 hours
How to Make: Add the potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender. Mash some of the potatoes directly in the slow cooker to create a thicker, creamier texture while leaving plenty of chunks. Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add most of the cheddar cheese and bacon, reserving some for topping. Cover and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the soup is hot. Serve topped with the remaining cheddar, bacon, and sliced green onions if desired.
