5 minutes

4 hours

4 hours, 5 minutes

2 onions, thinly sliced

2 cups beef broth

1½ pounds boneless center-cut pork loin chops

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour beef broth over the top.

Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper and place on top of the onions and beef broth. Cover with lid and cook on low for 3½ hours.

Remove lid and sprinkle about 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese on each pork chop. Return lid and continue to cook for about 30 minutes, just until the cheese has melted.

Note: All slow cookers are a little bit different in temperature and calibration. This recipe was tested in Cooktop Cove's Test Kitchen using this slow cooker, which is available for purchase here.
