Frequently Asked Questions
You don’t absolutely have to sear the pork chops if you are short on time. The benefit of searing the pork chops is that it gives them a nice brown color and a crispy texture on the outside and locks in the juices inside the meat. Since the pork chops are cooked completely in the slow cooker, this added texture is a tasty touch.
You can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for two to three months.
To make this recipe with boneless pork chops, cut the potatoes in eighths (so that they cook through) and lower the cooking time to low for four to six hours or high for two to three hours.
