Description

These Crock Pot Mississippi Pork Chops are incredibly tender, with a rich, savory flavor balanced by a mild tang
from the pepperoncini peppers. The butter melts into the seasoning mix, creating a silky sauce that’s perfect for
spooning over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Despite the bold flavors, the dish is not spicy—just deeply
comforting and satisfying.

Tips

• Use thicker pork chops to prevent them from drying out during slow cooking.
• Sear the pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side before slow cooking for extra flavor.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
• For thicker gravy, remove the pork chops and cook the sauce uncovered on high for 15–20 minutes.

Correction (Common Mistakes to Avoid)

• Do not add extra salt—the seasoning packets already contain plenty.
• Avoid overcooking thin pork chops, as they can become dry.
• Do not skip the butter; it is essential for the signature Mississippi flavor.
• Use pepperoncini peppers instead of banana peppers for authentic taste.
