My hubby’s absolute favorite combo! He’d request this everyday if he could.
Slow Cooker Pork Chops & Rice melds the succulence of bone-in pork chops with the heartiness of rice into a comforting, no-fuss meal—all made in the ease of a slow cooker. This dish is a humble, classic meal that likely doesn’t have a single point of origin but rather evolved in kitchens around the world as people found the slow cooker a convenient way to prepare tender meat and flavorful rice without having to stand over the stove. It’s a popular choice for busy days, and pork chops being a staple in many cultures, serve as a familiar and satisfying centerpiece for a family dinner.
When it comes to serving Slow Cooker Pork Chops & Rice, the options for side dishes are plentiful. The meal itself is fairly complete, but you can always add a bright, fresh salad or steamed green vegetables, like broccoli or green beans, to round out the plate. If you’re looking to remain within the comfort food theme, a side of buttered peas or glazed carrots also pairs nicely. Remember to pick sides that can either absorb the rich flavors from the pork chop gravy or provide a refreshing contrast to the savory and hearty main elements of the dish.
