Simple Slow Cooked Chops

At the grocery store last week
we saw that there were lots of things on sale
and one was some amazing pork chops
but as I looked closer
the other "cheap" pork chops
were SUPER on sale
and I figured I'd try those instead.

Slow Cooked Chops
2 lbs "cheap" pork chops
2 Tbsp "Light in Flavor" Olive Oil
1/2 package mushroom soup mix
1/2 c. white wine
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
Fresh ground pepper
garlic pepper
1/2 bag frozen pearl onions

Preheat crockpot on HIGH.

Heat olive oil in frying pan.
Carefully lay pork into oil.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper,
and mushroom soup mix over top of chops.
Cook for 1 minute, and flip.
Sprinkle other side with garlic and pepper.

When slightly browned,
transfer chops to heated crock pot.
Use white wine to deglaze the frying pan,
heat until bubbling,
stir in can of cream of chicken soup,
add liquid to crockpot.

Slightly stir,
to ensure all of chops
is covered in liquid.
Cover.
Cook for one hour.
Add frozen pearl onions.
Cook for three more hours.

Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

Mmm, fantastic!
Breaks apart without a knife or anything!!

Yes, it may be three months after she's born

to writing thank you cards for Baby Showers
and this is the little card we made up
to send as an "announcement"
with the thank you's!


A Few Tears
