I made this using the least expensive chops I could get with bone in. You do need plenty of pureed onion, the more the better. Followed recipe closely enough except for the additional pureed onion. Cooked the chops about three hours on high in my oval 4 qt. crockpot. They came out like butter and sooooo delicious. This really is party food and I will likely cater this for a party in the future.

This was really good. I realized I only had one onion so I added some onion flakes to the mix. I doubled the sauce, used 1 and 1/2 bottles of chili sauce and increased the garlic. I think the amount of onions is a must. My chops were boneless, inch thick and cooked on low 4 1/2 hours.

If you want the taste of ribs with leaner and easier to eat chops... this is the recipe for you! My husband loved this. I doubled the recipe to freeze extras and tripled the sauce since we like sauce here. Makes a yummy sauce which I thickened with cornstarch (after removing the pork) on high in the slow cooker at the end. I used the loin chops and only cooked them 4-5 hours on LOW that was plenty.

Made this in my pressure cooker rather than slow cooker. Cooked for 30 min. with a dish of potatoes in with it. I used my homemade chilli sauce which is chunky and has apples and peaches. The onions and the texture of the chilli sauce were really nice together. My son had seconds and he usually doesn't care for pork chops. Will definitely make again.
