How to make Low Carb Crockpot Pork Chops
1. Season the pork chops evenly with salt and black pepper.
2. Place the sliced mushrooms and onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, then arrange the pork chops on top.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tamari (or soy sauce), minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture over the pork chops and vegetables.
4. Cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
How to make low carb gravy
1. When cooking is complete, remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and cover with foil to rest.
2. Remove 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid into a small bowl. Whisk in the xanthan gum until fully blended (start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more sparingly if needed).
3. Return the thickened liquid to the slow cooker, then cook on high with the lid off for 10–15 minutes to reduce and thicken the gravy further. Spoon the mushroom-onion gravy over the pork chops to serve.
Recipe Tips
- For extra flavor, quickly brown the seasoned pork chops in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium-high heat before placing them in the slow cooker.
- You can use boneless or bone-in pork chops, or a mix—both work well in this recipe.
- To turn the sauce into a creamy gravy, stir in a splash of heavy cream, cream cheese, sour cream, or a bit of parmesan after the chops are cooked.
