Recipe Ingredients

• Russet Potatoes: Thinly sliced for that perfect balance of tender and hearty. They soak up all the flavors in the slow cooker.
• White Onion: As they cook low and slow, they transform into golden, caramelized bites.
• Pork Chops: Whether you prefer bone in pork chops for extra juiciness or boneless chops for easy eating, they soak up all the flavors, becoming fall-apart tender meat with every bite.
• Barbecue Sauce: Sweet, smoky, and a hint of tang – Sweet Baby Ray’s is divided for strategic saucing, ensuring every bite has the perfect blend of BBQ taste.
• Seasonings: Salt enhances natural flavors while black pepper adds subtle heat.
• Bacon: Cooked bacon is added at the end and helps create a smoky crunch with every bite. You can also switch up the flavor of the bacon to your liking.
• Cheese: Colby Jack cheese is my go-to choice of cheese flavor. It’s the finishing touch that makes this easy recipe definitely a keeper.
