Easy Cranberry Pork Chops | Slow Cooker Pork Recipes

There are two things to take into consideration with this simple yet tasty recipe - how many are you feeding and how big is your slow cooker. If you are only feeding 4 you only need 4 chops.  If you are feeding 6 and you have a small slow cooker, think about the size of the chops, you need to get chops that will fit in maximum two layers in your slow cooker.

This is another of those wonderful recipes that you can prepare the night before in a crock pot liner bag, put in the fridge over night and then just pop the crock pot liner bag in the slow cooker and turn it on, while you're doing breakfasts, making lunches and all that other crazy stuff in the morning!  These slow cooker liners make both meal prep and clean up a breeze!  Once you've tried them, you'll not be without them.

I used the canned jellied kind of cranberry sauce, and I prefer wholegrain mustard, but you can use whatever kind of prepared mustard you have.  This recipe is perfect teamed with mashed potato and a fresh seasonal green salad.  This is sure to be a family favorite.  Enjoy!
