Crock Pot Peppercorn Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the mixture and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the chops from the brine, rinse, and pat dry. Season on both sides with the kosher salt and set aside
• Place the apples in the slow cooker.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples.
• Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan followed by the onions and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking for another 4 hours and 30 minutes or until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse pork tenderloin and place in crock pot.
• 2. Place baby carrots around the pork and pour bottle of Dr. Pepper over top. Sprinkle seasonings (to your taste) on top. Cover cook on high for 5-6 hours. DO NOT BASTE THE PORK DURING COOKING.
• 3. This pork is delicious served with mashed potatoes or white rice on the side. The carrots come out tasting like candied carrots...and EVERYTHING is so tender! NOTE: Do not add potatoes to this crock pot recipe. This recipe can also become shredded pork by cooking it for an extra hour.

Steps:

• Place the chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, red bell peppers, and pork chops into a slow cooker, stir together, and set the cooker on Low.
