Yes, it's yet another installment in. . . . . . . Adventures in Slow Cooking!
Today started our regular fall schedule - and Monday is our busiest day of the week. No problem, thinks I! Time to whip out. . . . .
Sour Cream Pork Chops (from Allrecipes.com)
First step: dredge the pork chops in flour, and brown in a bit of oil
Second step: Ignore the dog, sitting pathetically at your feet, drooling over said pork chops.
Third step: Put pork chops in slow cooker, and top with sliced onions.
Fourth step: Add 2 c. of chicken boullion. (Hint: I have fallen in love with "Better than Boullion", it's a chicken base with NO MSG. Yummy!)
Let cook for 7-8 hours. I used boneless chops, so mine only needed about 6 hours.
Fifth Step: Take these sweet girls to ballet.
Sixth step: Convince your husband to finish the recipe, because you realized you won't be home in time to finish the recipe.
Only kidding. Kind of. Here's what he did: Remove the pork chops from the crock pot. Mix together 2 T. of flour and 8 oz sour cream, stir into crock pot, cook on Hi for 10 minutes. Make a bunch of egg noodles. . . .. .
And serve the yummy pork chops for dinner!
And the reviews:
Taste: ALL of my kids gave it a HUGE thumbs up! Y. even commented how good they were . . . do you think it was because he helped? ;-)
Ease of prep: OK, really it was pretty easy. HOWEVER - I'm spoiled after that tortellini recipe! Seriously, I will make these again - but NOT on a Monday night, when I don't have any time to fool with making a sauce in the 30 minutes between when I get home and the boys leave for Boy Scouts.
Overall? We have a winner! Definitely adding this one to my permanent menu.
Stay tuned for our next installment. . . . . Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole! Who's coming over?

Supper looks good :) Two questions (1) where did you buy that chicken base (grocery store or specialty store?) and (2) do you happen to know off-hand if it contains soy????? Soy allergy plus MSG sensitivity at our house makes for lots of homemade stock...
Hi Karen - thanks for the comment!
The base is available - gasp! - at Wal-Mart, near the bouillion.
I did look though, and it has "Hydrolyzed soy protein". So sad!
I love it when I find a new recipe to continue with! I really like your "who you are" statement, too. Joy in the journey is so important and I often let that slip. I found your blog from TWTM. Visit me at www.mytripleo.blogspot.com !
Mrs Henriques,
We made this the other night and LOVED it! Thanks for sharing!
