Coca-Cola Peach Barbecue Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 to 6 (1/2-inch thick) bone-in pork chops
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
• 1 cup of classic Coca-cola
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of peach butter, jam or preserves, or to taste
• Couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 cup of chopped onion

Instructions

Season the chops generously with salt and pepper; brown in hot oil if desired. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, Coke, peach butter (substitute jam or preserves if you like), Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, brown sugar and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking; set aside. Dip each chop into the sauce and place into slow cooker. Top with chopped onion, pour the rest of the sauce on top, cover and cook on low for about 4 to 6 hours or until chops are tender and cooked through (I used 3 boneless chops and 5 hours was too long - they were dry). Remove the chops from the slow cooker using a wide spatula. Serve with a starch, like my macaroni and cheese, and a nice side salad or green veggie.

Cook's Notes: Substitute 1 cup of ketchup or commercial barbecue sauce for the tomato sauce.
