Slow Cooker Pork Chops Parmesan (Low Carb & Gluten Free)

A Pork Chop Parmesan & flatbread
to mop the sauce with.
It's funny...Pork Chops Parmesan does not include Parmesan cheese!

Ingredients:
olive or coconut oil cooking spray
1 cup Rao's Marinara sauce (or pasta sauce of choice)
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 pound frozen boneless pork loin chops**
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
salt 
pepper
1 cup grated mozzarella

Method:
Lightly spray the slow cooker insert with the cooking oil spray. Pour the marinara sauce into the slow cooker. Stir in the red pepper and onion. Arrange the pork chops of the sauce. Sprinkle with the herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste. 



Cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours. Sprinkle the cheese over the chops. Cover and lower the heat to the warm setting. Let sit for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Makes 4 servings. 

**I use frozen pork chops, because I think they are less likely to become overcooked or dry. And...these pork chops were perfectly tender and not dry.

Notes:
My husband said that these pork chops are the best he has ever tasted!
If you are not following a low carb meal plan, these pork chops can be served over pasta.
If you are eating low carb, serve with veggies or a salad. KETO Flatbread also goes well with this dish...you can search this blog for the easy recipe:
