Prepare the Pork Chops: Arrange the pork chops at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, ensuring they’re spread out evenly.
Create the Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, tomato sauce, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ground ginger, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This mixture will serve as both a marinade and a sauce, enveloping the pork chops in a sweet and tangy glaze that will caramelize beautifully during cooking.
Cook: Pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops, making sure each chop is well-coated. Cover the slow cooker with its lid, set it to low, and let the pork chops cook undisturbed for 6 hours. The slow cooking process will ensure that the meat is tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
Serve: Once the pork chops are cooked, carefully remove them from the slow cooker. Serve them hot over a bed of fluffy rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside your favorite vegetables. The sauce left in the slow cooker can be spooned over the chops for an extra burst of flavor.
