Crockpot Pork Chops - for the lazy chef

Even if you can't cook or don't like to cook, this is the easiest recipe EVER!
A few weeks ago, I saw some pork chops on sale, and I bought them on a whim. I usually just pan fry them, not having any idea what I am doing, and they come out so dry and chewy. Gross. So, I googled pork chop recipes, and I found this one and decided to try it. It was a HIT in my house...the pork chops just broke apart, and the whole meal was soo good. What was even better was that it's made in a crockpot, so there is NO WORK!!

Here's the recipe from http://www.southernfood.about.com/.

It's called Jade's crockpot pork chops, made easy with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup.

Ingredients:
1 large onion, sliced
4 to 6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 can condensed cream of mushroom or celery soup (I use both to make it saucier)
4 to 6 pork chops, boneless or bone-in
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Lightly spray slow cooker with butter or garlic flavored non-stick cooking spray. Put onions and potatoes in bottom of slow cooker.
Top with pork chops, salt and pepper.

Pour soup over chops. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until tender.

Serves 4 to 6.

I know it doesn't look great in the Crockpot, but for real....just try it. Once it
s bubbling and done, it is soooo delicious. I also add garlic powder, basil and a few other spices...but that's totally up to you.
Good luck and comment to let us know how yours comes out!
