Members georgestrings Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 ... Those of you who cook, and like porkchops might find this interesting... A friend turned me on to this method a few years ago - it's quite simple and foolproof, and is perfect for working people, or people who are a bit culinary challenged... I use a 4qt crockpot, but any size the stuff will fit in will do... Get some porkchops, and a large can of condensed cream of mushroom soup - put half the can of soup under the chops, and the other half on top... If you've got 10-12 hours, just leave it on low for that time - otherwise it'll be done in about 8 hours or less on high... Season to taste - I just used parsley, chopped dried onions, a bit of garlic power, fresh ground black pepper, and some Italian seasoning... I'll serve it with a rice dish, and some sort of green veggie, usually - tonight we're having rice pilaf, and a salad... The soup ends up making sort of a gravy, that works really well with the rice - although it works with potatoes, too - and when done, the porkchops will fall apart - no knife needed... I make all sorts of things in the crockpot - maybe I'll start posting them as I go along, if anyone's interested... This particular meal typically costs under $10 to make, and will feed 3-5 people quite easily... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baracuda2004 Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 ohh cool.. i'd like some more please. I have a good easy somewhat more healthy/clean way for an omelet as well if you'd like to know. Seriously we're bassist we need to get a sticky for new Recipe's and one for BEERventures.

Members Svi Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've done something similar but not in the crockpot. The other night I made a sauce out of the cream of mushroom soup and put it over the chops. It was pretty good. For a clean healthy omelet, I use two egg whites and one whole egg. I saute veggies in olive oil and use those for the filling. I also cook the omelet with olive oil. Pretty healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring a pot to boil with about 3-5in of water in it put all you're egg ingrediants into a ziploc bag with no oil(maybe a little butter substitute or not i don't) then use like a metal kabob rod to skewer the bag to hold it just off the bottom of the pot when it's close to done it'll start to float to one side let it cook maybe 4-5 minutes on that side then push it under so it floats on the other side for the same. Pull the ziploc off the rod open it up and dump the omelet out. It's shaped like a kind of hotpocket type thing and has no extra oils/grease in it + the pot just had the boiling water in it so a quick dry and it's good.

Members Goofball Jones Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 We haven't been doing many pork chops lately. We've really been into the pork tenderloins, usually in a rotisserie. Then some wild rice on the side. The tenderloins seem to be more tender than a chop...for the most part. But it could be we just overcook the chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flatcat Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Put them in seasoned flour, coat them with egg, dip them in breadcrumbs, fry them in a little oil, then bake them for about 20 minutes at 350. You can also cut up a tenderloin into 1/2" thick pieces and do the same thing. Dee-lish. Serve with spaetzle - that's the tricky part. One of my favorite simple things to do is to dredge meat - chicken tenderloins are great for this - in seasoned flour, then pan fry them in a little - just a little - butter and olive oil. REALLY easy and taste great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members georgestrings Posted January 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Please do. Any suggestion that saves me time and money and keeps me well-fed is a welcome one. No prob - other meals I make in the crockpot are: chilistewspaghetticorned beef and cabbageBBQ beef, pork, or venisonpot roaststeak, pork, or chicken in Italian salad dressing ... and those are just off the top of my head... Crockpots are great in that you can prep them either the night before or in the morning, then start 'em in the morning, and not have to fuss with them 'til dinner is ready.... I'll post more either as I make them, or as time permits... - georgestrings(a regular chef-freakin-boy-r-dee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simplifies things a ton, takes little or no effort, just patience and restraint to not keep checking it. Here is one of my favorites: 2-4 lb chuck roast Heavily season with a rub (sweet misquite was what I used) Cover in olive oil 1/4 cup of water Cook on high 3-4 hours, or until for tender shred apart, and cover in your favorie BBQ sauce and serve on hawaiin rolls.

Members bbl Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 porkchops Nice. Our New Year's Day was similar - pork loin and sauerkraut. Get some thick cut loin slices, 3 big jars of kraut, some rosemary, thyme, brown sugar. You can use a crockpot if it's large enough - we used a large, covered pan in the oven. Cook at 350 for 6+ hours. The pork just falls apart. I had some frozed leftovers last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted January 24, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 If you don't have time to do the Crockpot thing, the Campbell's Supper Bakes make complete meals for PC and Chix and some other recipes. Pretty much no-brainer, pour the gravy, pour the stuffing, pour the spices....in the right places. Stick it in the oven, tasty dinner in an hour.
