FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What does the Mississippi flavoring taste like? <\/strong>

This flavoring has become quite popular and has been used on various meat options. It\u2019s slightly tangy and savory with the ranch seasoning, the au jus gravy, the butter and the peperoncinis. It is so unique but really just adds so much flavor to meats that might otherwise be bland. <\/p> <\/div>

Can I make this spicier?<\/strong>

For extra punch, pour in \u00bc \u2013 \u00bd cup of the peperonicini juice. <\/p> <\/div>

Do I have to sear the pork chops first? <\/strong>

While not 100% necessary, searing the pork chops offers the chance to enhance their color and adds even more flavor. You can certainly skip this step if you don\u2019t have the time. Obviously you won\u2019t need the olive oil that is included with this recipe as it is there just for browning the pork chops. Additionally, if you have the searing option in your crock pot, definitely use that as it will be one less dish to wash. <\/p> <\/div>

Can I cook these on high? <\/strong>

No. These need to stick to low heat. They just own\u2019t come out as tender on high.<\/p> <\/div>

Can I use thinner pork chops?<\/strong>

Technically you could but I don\u2019t recommend it. You have to be so careful with pork chops as they can dry out easily since they are a very lean meat. So you\u2019ll really have to keep a close eye on the cook time. For best results use a thick cut and bone-in pork chop. That bone also adds wonderful flavor and moistness to the meat as it cooks. You could use boneless thick cut pork chops.<\/p> <\/div>

Are these spicy?<\/strong>

I do not find them spicy and I am pretty sensitive to spiciness. The peperoncinis just add a very slight background flavor to the overall dish but it\u2019s not spicy. It will only be a bit spicy if you add some of the juice to the mixture. You can also just add 3 or 4 peperoncinis to the slow cooker if you are concerned about too much heat but don\u2019t leave them out since you just won\u2019t get the same flavor. <\/p> <\/div>

Do I need to add additional liquid?<\/strong>

If you\u2019ve ever made any of the other Crock Pot Mississippi recipes, you will know that no other liquid is added. The meat will release its own juices (along with the melted butter) and it cooks in that. <\/p> <\/div>

How can I turn those juices into a gravy? <\/strong>

Want to turn those juices in the bottom of the slow cooker into more of a gravy? Remove the pork chops. Whisk together 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 Tablespoons of water. Pour into the slow cooker and whisk. Add pork chops back into the slow cooker, cover and turn on high until thickened.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>

Can I use this recipe for a pork loin\/tenderloin or pork roast or even chicken?<\/strong>

Yep! This recipe literally works with any meat. I actually have recipes for those on my site.

How to store leftovers?<\/strong>

Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. When reheating, my preferred method is to remove the meat from the bone and warm it either in the slow cooker along with the remaining gravy or in a pot on the stove. I like the stove method the best since it reheats them quicker.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
