My dad passed down this cheap dinner trick. Just 4 ingredients for the most melt in your mouth meal you will ever serve your family this spring.

Slow cooker pork chops glazed with brown sugar sauce

Serve these brown sugar pork chops straight from the slow cooker, spooning plenty of the caramel-colored sauce over the top. They’re wonderful with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to catch the extra glaze, and a simple green vegetable—steamed green beans, roasted asparagus, or a crisp salad with a tangy vinaigrette—keeps the plate balanced.

Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread are handy for mopping up the sticky-sweet juices. If you prefer something lighter, try serving the pork over a bed of fluffy rice with a side of sliced cucumbers dressed in a splash of vinegar to cut through the richness.
