italian chops

when i think italian, i think red sauce and some heavy seasonings, such as oregano and garlic. these are not quite that...but i think they could be considered american-italian.

this is one of my favorite cookbooks, especially as i LOVE crockpot cooking.

this is my go-to book when i want to cook something in the crockpot, but i'm not sure if i can, or need a good recipe for it. most of the recipes use normal ingredients and many are what you keep in your pantry anyway. CLICK HERE to go directly to amazon.

for this recipe, start by slicing an onion and layering it in the bottom of the crockpot.

next, place 4-6 pork chops on top of the onions.

wash, and cut potatoes (& carrots if desired) and layer on top of pork.

pour a bottle (16oz) of italian dressing on top.

cover and cook on high 6-8 hours (mine was ready in 5, but my crockpot cooks fast).

we all enjoyed this recipe...my 2 year old LOVED the meat (and beans) and ate a few of the potatoes (she prefers her potatoes mashed or as fries). it has a bit of a tang to it because of the dressing, but it's a nice change.
