Joan's Crockpot Pork Chops

Directions

1. Trim excess fat from chops. Using a large skillet, saute/fry the onion slices over medium heat. Try to keep the rounds intact if possible. Remove them to a large plate; set aside.
2. Turn heat to medium-high and brown each chop well on both sides; keep them in the skillet only long sufficient to brown (about 2 to 3 min each side). When you have turned each chop, sprinkle with a healthy pinch of salt and a generous amount of freshly-grnd black pepper. Remove chops to a large platter.
3. Turn off the heat; add in broth to skillet and scrape up the pan juices and any bits which remain.
4. Layer onions and chops in crockpot, beginning and ending with onions; add in the broth.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hrs. Sprinkle with chives before serving, or possibly add in chives during last hour of cooking.
6. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
