Pro Tips

• Use thicker Bone-in Pork Chops – Using bone-in results in amazingly tender and juice meat. The bone keeps the meat insulated so that it holds in the juice.
• Boneless Pork Chops – Boneless Chops will work, just make sure they are thick as the thin pork chops cook to fast resulting in the pork chops drying out.
• Marinate the Meat – Also, it’s totally optional but it’s really yummy to marinate the meat for about 30 minutes prior to placing in the slow cooker. Then place the marinated pork chops in the crock pot.

Variations Ideas

• Add in some Pineapple – This recipe would be great with some pineapple slices added to it. The combination of the teriyaki sauce with the pineapple really brings out the yummy flavor. I also like to sprinkle a little brown sugar on top.
• Cream of Soups – This recipe would be great with cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup. Just substitute the teriyaki sauce with one of these soups and the meal is so creamy. If you need a little more liquid, pour in some chicken broth.
• Add in Soy Sauce – We love adding in low sodium soy sauce. Adding it with the teriyaki sauce makes this almost an Asian Recipe taste.

What to Serve with Teriyaki Pork Chops

• Serve with Rice – It’s great served over rice. Do you know how to freeze rice? It’s so easy to grab from the freezer and reheat in minutes. This is another way I make life easier around here! Brown rice works great too.
• Add a Vegetable – We love steamed or roasted broccoli or a side dish of Crockpot Glazed Carrots
• Mashed Potatoes – My family loves mashed potatoes and this is a great option with this meal. The teriyaki sauce poured over the potatoes makes a great meal.
