How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy

1. Season the thick cut pork chops on both sides with sea salt and ground black pepper.
2. OPTIONAL SEAR: For the best results, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on either side.
3. Place the seasoned pork chops in the bowl of a slow cooker.
4. Add the onion, garlic, dried oregano, butter, and chicken stock. Mix to combine.

6. Heat a large skillet to medium heat. 
7. Add the butter to the skillet and melt.
8. Add the flour and whisk. Cook for a little bit, about 1 minute (or until golden brown), whisking continually.
9. Add the milk gradually to the flour mixture, whisking the gravy mixture continuously until it is homogenous.
10. ½ cup at a time, add the cooking juice to the skillet, whisking continuously.
11. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper.
12. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes or until thickened and golden brown; whisking continuously all the while.
13. Pour the flavorful gravy over the slow cooker pork chops to serve.
