SLOW COOKER PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE

This recipe may be a slight departure from that original one from more than just a few years ago but in my own way I wanted to create that same sort of meal for my kids.  Thankfully these Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Creamy Herb Sauce seemed to do the trick.  Of course it’s hard to say what kind of memories they will help make, but at least everyone requested seconds.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops are always a family favorite. This bone in version includes a Creamy Herb Sauce that takes it over the top in flavor!
