I have a hard time staying away from the slow cooker when these chops are cookin’! The aroma is so, so good—I can’t even describe it. Let’s just say that if you want the whole neighborhood to smell amazing and you don’t mind a few neighbors knocking on your door wanting to be fed, this is the dish to make! You might want to double this recipe in case of unexpected guests.
