Notes

The Soda Ratio: I’ve made these using both a half-can and a whole can of cola. While the full can gives you a lot of extra sauce, I’ve found that my preferred way is using half a can of soda with 6 pork chops. It creates a more concentrated, flavorful glaze while still providing more than enough liquid to keep the meat juicy.

Adjusting the Serving Size: This recipe is very flexible! While 6 chops is my standard, you can easily scale down to 4 or up to 10 pork chops for a big family gathering.

Pro Tip for Large Batches: If you do decide to pack the slow cooker with 8 to 10 chops, I would suggest sticking with the whole can of soda just to ensure there is plenty of sauce to coat every single piece of meat.
