Slow Cooker Pork Chops With Bacon And Onion

"These Southern-style slow cooker pork chops are smothered in a smoky bacon and onion gravy. Add apples if you like, and pair the tender, juicy meat with a side of biscuits, mashed potatoes, rice, or cornbread. This recipe is a slow cooker version of the beloved dish, Southern smothered pork chops in onion gravy. Bacon creates a smoky, savory base for the sauce, sauteed onions add sweetness, and fresh herbs and garlic offer earthy, flavorful notes. You’ll use flour to thicken the gravy, which then loosens and thins a bit as it mixes with the condensation and cooking liquids in the pot. No watered-down gravy here! In the fall, we love the combination of apples and pork. It’s a natural pairing that works really well together. I’ve included apple wedges here as an optional addition to the slow cooker. Use them if you like, but it’s certainly not necessary. They simply provide yet another layer of sweet, fruity flavor."
