Stout Glazed Pork Chops Slow Cooker. My brother says this is the best dinner I’ve ever cooked. Only 4 simple things make a yummy sauce that tastes like I worked on it all day.
These easy slow cooker pork chops with stout sauce are perfect for busy nights. You use little work but get big flavor, like a sauce cooked slowly all day. Dark stout beer gives it a deep, toasty taste that turns shiny and sweet like candy syrup.
A bit of brown sugar adds sweet, Dijon mustard gives zing, and onion melts away for that long-cooked taste. It’s cozy like Midwest food—warm and easy—but like pub meals from the UK or Ireland.
Tender pork chops shine with a dark, sweet stout glaze from just beer, sugar, mustard, and onion. Slow-cooked for juicy meat and thick sauce that clings like magic. Pairs great with mash or rice—pure comfort in every bite!)
Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
4 pork chops with bone, about 1 inch thick (2 to 2½ pounds total)
-
1 big yellow onion, cut into thin slices
-
1½ cups stout beer (like Guinness or dark stout)
-
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon oil (for optional quick cook)

Stout Glazed Pork Chops: Directions
-
Get slow cooker ready: Spray or grease a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker lightly. Spread sliced onion on the bottom. It makes a tasty bed and keeps chops juicy.
-
Mix sauce base: In a bowl, stir stout beer, brown sugar, and mustard until sugar melts and it’s smooth. Add salt and pepper. Taste and fix if needed. That’s your 4-part sauce!
-
Optional quick brown: Dry chops with paper towels. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan on medium-high. Brown chops 2-3 minutes each side for extra yummy taste.
-
Fill cooker: Put chops on onions in a flat layer. Pour sauce over them so all get wet. Liquid looks thin now but gets thick later.
-
Cook slow: Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours or high 3-4 hours. Chops should be soft but stay on bone. Don’t open lid much—it slows cooking.
-
Make shiny sauce: Move chops to a plate. Cover with foil to stay warm. Pour liquid and onions into a wide pan. Boil gently on medium-high, then simmer on medium 10-15 minutes. Stir now and then until thick and glossy, cut in half. Taste and add salt or pepper.
-
Finish up: Put chops back in sauce. Spoon lots over top. Let sit a few minutes to warm and soak flavor. Serve hot with extra onions and thick sauce on each one.
Serve from cooker with gravy on top. Great on mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. Add green veggies like cooked sprouts or beans. Bread wipes up the rest. Sip the same beer if you like!
