Variations & Tips
For picky eaters, you can use a lighter hand with the garlic powder or even swap it for onion powder if that’s more familiar to them. If someone in your family doesn’t love a strong Parmesan flavor, mix half Parmesan with a mild shredded cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack (just keep the total cheese amount about the same so the texture stays right). To add a little color, sprinkle dried Italian seasoning or a pinch of paprika into the Parmesan–garlic mixture. If you prefer bone-in pork chops, you can use them; just choose chops about 1 inch thick and add 30 to 45 minutes to the cook time on LOW, checking for doneness. For an even more golden top, you can open the packets and slide the chops (still on the foil) under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes after slow cooking, watching closely so the cheese doesn’t burn. Leftovers reheat nicely in the foil in a 300°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, which keeps the pork moist and brings those buttery juices back to life.
