Ingredients
Instructions
- Coat the pork chops with all-purpose flour.
- Brown the floured chops in vegetable oil in a skillet; they do not need to be fully cooked, just browned.
- Place quartered potatoes and chopped onions in the crock-pot.
- Add chopped cabbage on top of the potatoes and onions.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the browned pork chops on top of the cabbage.
- Pour water over all ingredients without stirring.
- Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours, until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs like thyme or rosemary to the dish. If you don't have vegetable oil, olive oil works well for browning the pork chops. You can substitute the pork chops with bone-in chicken thighs for a different protein option. Ensure the vegetables are cut uniformly for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Farmer's Style Chops with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices. A light salad pairs nicely to balance the richness of the dish. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside Macaroni Baked With Mushrooms, Ham And Cheese, which complements the flavors well.

Frequently Asked Questions
