Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Brown Pork Chops

   Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the 6 boneless loin pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the pork chops in the hot pan and brown them on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Do not cook them all the way through.

2. 2.Transfer Pork Chops

   Once browned, transfer the pork chops into the bowl of a slow cooker.

3. 3.Sauté Onion and Garlic

   In the same pan with the rendered pork fat, add 1 chopped brown onion and 2 cloves of crushed garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and garlic are browned, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4.Add Onion and Garlic to Slow Cooker

   Transfer the browned onion and garlic mixture into the slow cooker, placing it over the pork chops.

5. 5.Add Vegetables

   Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes into the slow cooker, distributing them around the pork chops.

6. 6.Prepare and Add Sauce

   In a jug, combine 1 cup of liquid vegetable stock and 1 can (400g) of cream of celery soup. Mix well until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops and vegetables in the slow cooker.

7. 7.Slow Cook

   Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours, or until the pork chops are cooked through, tender, and the vegetables are soft.

8. 8.Serve

   Serve the slow-cooked smothered pork chops hot with the vegetables and sauce.
