Herb Slow Cooked Chops with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction

I don't have a picture
of this wonderful creation
but I just have to share with you
how wonderful this recipe turned out!

I made it up.
I just didn't feel like
having the same ole' same ole'
flavored pork chops for dinner.

Herb Slow Cooked Chops
with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction

in a frying pan:
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dried rosemary
(I'm sure fresh herbs
would be even MORE WONDERFUL
but I didn't have any on hand...)

Cook until onions are transluscent,
and beginning to brown on the edges.

Lay six thick, juicy pork loin chops
over top the onions.
Generously salt and pepper the top of the chops.
Sear until browned on that side.
Flip, salt and pepper, and sear until browned.
(chops will NOT be fully cooked,
just browned on each side)
Transfer chops to preheated slow cooker.

Into pan with onion remnants add:
1 c. white wine
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 c. milk
1/2 package mushroom soup mix

Simmer until thickened a bit.

Pour sauce over the chops in the slow cooker.
Cook, on low, 4-6 hours.

About 15 minutes before ready to serve,
pour 1/4 c Balsamic Vinegar
into small sauce pan.
Simmer over low fire until beginning to thicken.
Stir occasionally.

To serve:
Place pork chop on plate
(we served ours on creamy pasta- delish)
and drizzle balsamic vinegar reduction over top.

Mmm...
can't even tell you how excited I am for lunch tomorrow
cuz this meal was just so good, good, good!
