1000 Island Tangy Pork Chops are the most delicious, tender and tangy Pork Chops around ! The  Dressing gives the chops a wonderful sweet-salty taste with a delicious stickiness.

We have pork chops several times a month. It is a little healthier than beef and lamb.

That is if you remove all visible fat of course, which I admit, I do not always do (nothing tastier than a crispy piece of grilled or baked pork rind !)

These Tangy Pork Chops is our favorite though. Sweet, sticky and so tangy.

How to make the Pork Chops in the Slow-Cooker :

I have made these Pork Chops both in the slow-cooker and baked in the oven, but I am leaning towards the baked chops, rather than using the slow-cooker. (Purely because of our high electricity bills, nothing else).

Therefore, if you want to cook them in your slow-cooker, go right ahead – prepare as below and cook on high for 3 – 4 hours or on low for 4 – 6 hours.
