Variations & Tips
For a slightly different twist while still keeping things simple, you can swap the Dijon mustard for regular yellow mustard if your family prefers a milder, more old-fashioned flavor, or try half Dijon and half whole-grain mustard for extra texture. If your pork chops are on the thinner side, reduce the cooking time by about an hour on LOW so they don’t dry out. For a bit more savoriness without adding more ingredients, season the chops lightly with salt and pepper before placing them in the slow cooker. If you like a little heat, stir a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of prepared horseradish into the honey mustard mixture. To make this more of a shredded pork situation, cook an extra 1 to 2 hours on LOW, then pull the meat off the bone and toss it back into the sauce for honey mustard pulled pork sandwiches. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days—reheat gently with a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
