To Reheat
Slowly reheat in a baking dish, covered with aluminum foil on low heat (somewhere between 200-250℉) which will help prevent them from drying out.
Notes
Storage:Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.Tips:
Put everything except the cornstarch together in a freezer bag and freeze uncooked. Thaw out in the fridge the night before you're ready to serve, dump everything in the crockpot and finish the recipe as instructed! Easiest meal EVER.
To increase the overall flavor of this dish, sear pork chops first in a cast iron skillet prior to slow cooking.
In addition to the onion powder in this amazing honey garlic sauce, consider adding some freshly sliced onion to the slow cooker while the pork chops cook. The flavor of the onions will blend beautifully into the sauce, increasing the flavor of the dish!
It’s a good idea to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145℉ for pork.
