I like to use boneless thick-cut pork chops for my crockpot recipes since they do not dry out as fast as the thin-cut pork chops. They only had thin-cut pork chops when I made this recipe so I watched them carefully so they didn’t overcook.

You can use bone-in pork chops as well they just take a little longer to cook because of the bone so always make sure to use a meat thermometer to check when the pork chop has reached the temperature of 145° F. This will ensure that your pork chops have the maximum amount of flavor and tenderness.

Cook the pork chops on your slow cooker’s low setting. This will make it easier to not overcook them.

Do not cook boneless pork chops for 6 hours. I always read recipes that say to cook pork chops for 6-8 hours. You will have tough and chewy pork chops if you cook them too long.

Make this meal lighter and use 1/3 fat cream cheese!

How long does it take to bake pork chops in the oven?

Baking pork chops in the oven at 350 F, uncovered, will take 20 to 30 minutes, and it will take 18 to 25 minutes if you bake pork chops covered with aluminum foil. Bake the pork chops until the internal temperature are 145 F internally.

What is the best way to cook pork chops without them drying out?

High-heat frying sears them to a golden brown; and a moderately hot oven (400 degrees F) bakes the pork chops gently enough to keep them from drying out. This "sear-roasting" method is a great way to cook pork chops in the oven: Fry one side to golden brown, then flip, and place the chops directly in the oven.

What temperature do I bake pork chops in the oven?

Bake pork chops that are about 1¼-inch thick at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 14 to 17 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you cook 1-inch thick boneless pork chops at 350 F, they will take between 25 minutes and 30 minutes to cook through. The cooking time for bone-in pork chops with the same thickness (1 inch) will be 5 minutes longer at about 30 to 35 minutes.
