This dish is a sweet miracle! My family says this Amish delight turns every dinner into a celebration!

In the heart of the Midwest, where fields stretch out as far as the eye can see and the air carries the sweet scent of harvest, there’s a dish that embodies the warmth and simplicity of country living: Amish Brown Sugar Pork Chops. This recipe has been passed down through generations, a staple at family gatherings and Sunday dinners. The slow cooker does all the hard work, infusing the pork chops with a rich, caramelized flavor that feels like a hug from the past. It’s a dish that brings people together, reminding us of the simple joys of home-cooked meals.

These pork chops pair beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles, which soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed green beans or roasted carrots adds a pop of color and freshness to the plate. And don’t forget a slice of warm, crusty bread to mop up every last bit of that savory-sweet glaze.

4 bone-in pork chops
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Place the pork chops in the slow cooker and pour the brown sugar mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.

Once done, carefully remove the pork chops and serve with the sauce from the slow cooker drizzled on top.

For a little extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the brown sugar mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork chops when done and transfer the sauce to a saucepan. Simmer on the stove until it reduces to your desired consistency. You can also try adding sliced apples or onions to the slow cooker for additional flavor and texture.
