1

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move them to a slow cooker.
2

Stir the brown sugar, ketchup, onion, and lemon juice together in a bowl; spoon the mixture over the pork chops. Cover and cook on Low until the pork chops are very tender, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
