FAQ
Q: Can I use boneless pork chops instead of bone-in?
A: Yes, boneless pork chops can be used, but they may cook faster, so be sure to check them after about 3 hours if cooking on high or 4-5 hours on low.

Q: Can I make this recipe without searing the pork chops?
A: Yes! Searing the pork chops adds extra flavor but is not essential to the recipe. You can skip this step and simply place the pork chops in the Crock Pot with the gravy mixture.

Q: Can I freeze leftover smothered pork chops?
