My neighbor first brought these honey pork chops over for Easter, all wrapped up in crinkly foil packets. They were fall-apart tender with this glossy, sweet glaze that somehow stayed on the meat instead of burning on the bottom of the slow cooker. She finally admitted the trick: just four ingredients, wrapped tight in foil so the honey melts slowly into the pork instead of drying it out.
This is the kind of set-it-and-forget-it recipe that works for holidays but is easy enough for a random Tuesday night when you’re juggling work, kids, and everything else.
These honey pork chops are pretty sweet and saucy, so I like to balance them with something simple and cozy: plain mashed potatoes or buttered rice to soak up the glaze, and a green veggie like steamed green beans or a quick side salad. Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread are great for swiping up any extra sauce from the foil packets.
If you’re serving guests, plate each foil packet right from the slow cooker onto a dinner plate, open it at the table, and add a scoop of potatoes or rice on the side for a no-fuss, restaurant-style feel.
