I don’t have much more to offer on simplistic spaghetti but I wish I could cook these big boneless pork chops they sell at the grocery stores. Tough no matter what. Browned and braised, Roasted with apple towers. Heck the wife wants to try to dump them in a crockpot.
I think your wife may be right.
The best pork chops we’ve ever cooked were eaten on a night when we had put them in the oven, remembered something urgent that we had to do, turned OFF the oven and went out for an hour or so - and then came back and turned the oven back on. They were very tender; and I always wondered if it was because we had just gotten a very good cut, or because they had been cooked over such a long time.
Ever since, I’ve wanted to try my husbands oven-barbecue pork chops in a crock pot. Lots of crock pot recipes come out flavorless for me, but Husband’s sauce is so tangy and flavorful, I think we could tweak it for the crock.
Will let you know, when I try.

We too cannot make a great thick chop. The best I made I sauteed in a pan & did a Dijon/onion sauce & finished them in the oven. I will take thin chops over a charcoal grill any day!
Pork chops are very good in the crockpot!
Dredge in seasoned flour, brown in olive oil.
Place in crock pot. Mix garlic, chicken stock powder(replaces salt)salt and pepper(add a little basil if you want)in 1/2 to 1 cup (depends how many you make) white wine or dry vermouth, pour over the top and cook on high for 4-5 hours. I mix the juices with pork gravy packets and serve with mashed potatoes.
