A delightful twist on classic pork chops, cooked to perfection in a slow cooker with a tangy and savory sauce.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Let the pork chops sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Place the pork chops in the slow cooker.
Ensure the pork chops are placed in a single layer for even cooking.
Add the onions, bell pepper, and diced tomatoes over the pork chops.
Distribute the vegetables evenly for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and the beef bouillon cube. Mix well.
Dissolve the bouillon cube completely for a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables and pork chops in the slow cooker.
Ensure the sauce covers the pork chops for maximum flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours until the pork chops are tender.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature.
Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth.
Stir thoroughly to avoid lumps in the mixture.
Stir the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir occasionally to ensure even thickening.
Serve the pork chops over cooked rice and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
