Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham

Confession: I’m not a HUGE fan of ham. Especially like…that big chunk of ham. But cooking it this way definitely adds to the flavor and then I use this ham for 3 different dishes. I will serve just a sliced ham dish. Then I’ll use the rest of the sliced pieces to make Ham & Cheese sliders. And finally, I’ll use that fat slab of ham that’s left to make Ham & Been soup. Yes, sir!

Super Simple Smothered Pork Chops

Creamy, down-home goodness.

Prep time: 10 MinInactive time: 6 HourTotal time: 6 H & 10 M

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 1 1-ounce packet onion soup mix
• 1 14-ounce can chicken broth, low sodium
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 1-ounce packet dry pork gravy mix
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons flour

Instructions

1. In a 6 quart slow cooker, add onion soup mix, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and pork gravy mix. Whisk together until combined.
2. Season both sides of the pork chops with a little bit of the garlic powder. Place pork chops into the slow cooker. Spread them out and cover with the gravy mixture. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
3. Remove pork chops with spatula (they will be super tender and may fall apart) to a plate and keep warm.
4. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the butter to form a roux. Keep whisking until the roux becomes golden brown. Add the pork chop juice a little bit at a time until you have your desired gravy consistency. Heat through. Top pork chops with gravy.

Notes

I usually serve this with rice, and top the rice with some of the gravy.
