Guiness Slow-Cooker Pork Chops

Submitted by kalamitykris

"I love to cook with condensed soup in my slow-cooker, however my husband has been dignosed with an allergy to MSG, so I have had to reinvent the wheel so to speak. I love to cook with wine so microbrews aren't that far off. I hope you love this as much as We do.................It's pretty forgiving and you can adjust the spices to fit your taste."

 

• Ready In: 4hrs 25mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 4-6 pork chops
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 5 -6 pork chops (3-4 lbs total)
• 2 large onions
• 1 pint Guinness stout
• 1 pint water
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• season salt
• pepper
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 dash red pepper flakes
• 8 ounces quartered mushrooms

directions

1. In a large sautee pan melt butter. Season pork chops with seasoned salt & pepper and add to pan a few at a time to sear. Remove chops to slow cooker and add onions to melted butter in sautee pan. Sweat onions until tender and clear in color. While onions are cooking add quartered mushrooms to slow cooker pot with the pork chops. When onions are just tender add the whole pint of Guiness Stout and allow to simmer 5 minutes. Pour onions and beer into slow cooker, and then add the pint of water to the sautee pan, simmering for an additional 5 minutes. Add sautee liquid to slow cooker and remaining spices to taste. Cook on high for 3 to 6 hours on high, or low for 6-10 hours, depending on when you need it to be finished. Can be prepped the night ahead but add at least 45 minutes if going from fridge to slow cooker. I serve this with hot buttered egg noodles using the Guiness onion sauce like a gravy.
