I really think there is nothing better than having a great meal without slaving over it all day. This past Sunday we had big plans - we had to run and errand, put up our outdoor Christmas lights, and get our tree up and house decorated. I knew I wouldn't be in the mood to put a lot of effort into dinner so I gave this recipe I found on the Crock Pot website a whirl. Delicious!
Sweet & Saucy Pork Chops
(from www.crock-pot.com)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 pork chops, bone in
2 cups onions, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup water
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup brown sugar
Heat olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add pork chops and brown for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove pork chops and place in slow cooker. Add onion to skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low. Add garlic, water, ketchup, cider vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, and brown sugar. Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved. Pour sauce over pork chops.
Cook on Low for 8-10 hours.
