Creamy Ranch Pork Chops

Okay, I got this recipe from www.crockingirls.com. Amazing crockpot recipes! I made 1 modification though.

Ingredients:
Pork chops
1 can cream of chicken soup
6 mushrooms, sliced
1 package Ranch seasoning
1 can water

Put the sliced mushrooms on the bottom of your crockpot. Layer the chops on top. Sprinkle the package of ranch on top. Add the soup. Add 1 can of water. Cook on low for 6 hours. Super easy, super tasty!

Juicy chop roast

Okay, this meal was an "Uh-oh, I have no chicken stock, beef stock, clear soup, soda, etc." This discovery was AFTER I put my chops and veggies in my crock pot. So I got creative. Haha!

Ingredients:
1 pkg thin pork loin chops
2 russet potatoes
2 small red delicious apples (or whatever apples you have on hand)
Sweet green onions
Carrots
BBQ sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Apple Punch juice (or whatever juice you have on hand)

DO NOT PUT YOUR MEAT IN FIRST! Normally you would, but thin chops stick to the bottom and end up getting tough. My suggestion: put your potatoes in first, then your meat. Add in the rest of your veggies. Dice your apples and add those. I used half a bottle of Brown Sugar BBQ sauce and 1-2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce. Add in your fruit juice until it's about half-way full. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

This will end up nicely sweet. If you don't want it as sweet, add a spice. Next time, I'm planning on trying a pinch of ginger. Mady ate everything except the carrots (little goofball!), and James finished off all of my tough meat, so it couldn't have been too bad!
