I am genuinely surprised! I didn't expect much from this recipe, but I have to admit I really liked it! My SO went crazy for it - and I'm more of a beer person than he is! I will say this, however: Be choosy about your beer. The flavor of the beer is intensified in this recipe, so if you don't like it enough to drink it, you won't like what you cook with it. For the beer-shy, go for a mild lager (Budweiser, Coors, etc.). If you're bold, go for a nice dark ale, porter or stout, but if you don't want that bitter taste magnified (and it will), mix between a teaspoon to a tablespoon of sugar or honey to the brew before you pour it over the chops. Next time, I might sear the chops before I put them in the slow cooker for some color (they came out a little pale), and shorten the cooking time accordingly.

A good dish. Great flavor. I think this meal would be better as a stew. Add cornstarch to thicken the broth, cook with carrots and potatoes. Serve on noodles (I used whole wheat egg noodles) and bread.

I give this recipe a 1 when I use it as written. However, when making changes, it comes out pretty good. I skipped the buillion cubes and instead added a packet of dried onion soup mix and a sliced up granny smith apple. My husband and 15 month old daughter love it this way.

This was very good. I added a lot of seasoning to it though, but the idea is great.

I thought this came out pretty bland and I used a fairly dark beer. I had to add so many seasonings just to try and salvage dinner. I agree The pork chops were tender but unfortunately they were also flavorless.

This one didn't come out well for me. The only substitution I made was using chicken broth instead of bouillon( I haven't found bouillon without MSG and I 'm allergic to MSG).That switch is likely to have accounted for the tastlessness. However, that substitution wouldn't explain why the chops were dry. It was wierd there was alot of liquid yet the chops were dry....very tender though.The crock pot makes all meat tender.So no big surprise there.
