I made a new recipe in it night before last and Jay liked it enough to get seconds. You need to understand that he rarely likes anything I make, because I try to cook as healthy as possible and he's old school where he'd prefer everything covered in thick gravy or cheese.
Anyhow, on to the yummy recipe:
BBQ Pork Chops
6-8 center cut boneless pork chops (1/2" thick)
Pepper to taste
1 cup thick BBQ sauce (to keep it more low cal I used Waldens 0cal sauce, plus it's GF)
14oz can stewed tomatoes (my guys don't like tomato chunks in their food, so I ran them through the food processor
10oz pkg frozen vegetable blend
Mix BBQ sauce, tomatoes and vegetables together. Mix well and set aside. Sprinkle the chops with pepper. Spray your crockpot with Pam or insert a disposible slow cooker liner (greatest invention ever!) Spray a skillet and set it on med/high setting. When pan is hot, add chops and quick brown them on each side. Remove them from the heat and place half the chops in the crockpot. Pour some of the sauce mix over them. Then add the rest of the chops and top with remaining sauce mix.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and cook for 6-7 hrs or until meat is tender, but not dry.
***Note*** I had to leave and didn't have the time to wait an hour to turn it down, so I just cooked on low for the entire time and they still came out great.
To go with it, I mixed up some seasonings and parmesan cheese. I quartered some baby potatoes (halved the little ones) and put them in a baggie with the seasoning/cheese mix and shook them well to coat the potatoes. I put the potatoes in another crockpot and cooked them on low for 3 1/2-4hrs.
If you try the chops, let me know if you enjoyed them!
