Great crock pot meal
I posted this on the main Lapband board but I thought I would post it over here too.
I took 4 boneless very thick cut Porkchops (about 1 1/2 -2 inches) and browned them on both sides.
Tossed them in the crock pot with 1/2 of a large onion chopped large, 1 red bell pepper and 3 cloves of garlic. To this I added about a cup of bbq sauce, some mustard, 3 T. brown sugar, some ketchup, 1 cup of pineapple juice and 1 can of Orange soda. I cooked on High for 1 1/2 hours and then low for an additional 5 hours.
I pulled the pork chops out and threw out the juice/sauce in the crockpot. I then pulled the pork chops apart with a fork (very tender), threw them back in the crock pot with more bbq sauce, some more pineapple juice and a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. Cooked on low for another 2 hours and the meat is incredible. So very tender and very Bandster friendly. I have a hard time with pork often but this today gave me some pork satisfaction and no problems.
I served with some fresh green beans, new potatoes and roasted tomatoes that I purchased yesterday at the Farmer's Market.
Great meal!
Hey you! I am glad you posted this here, as I dont always see every post on the main board or go over there all the time.
I am going to try this it sounds wonderful. I bet it would be good with rice too!
If you meet with Phyllis and company...Please, please, please take pics so we can see the fun ya'll had!
I bet it would be good with rice. Rice just doesn't do it for me anymore. I don't get stuck but it just doesn't feel right. My mom thought I was crazy when she came for dinner and I told her what I had cooked it in. The orange soda was too much for her. LOL
I'm going to be picking Phyllis up so I will be sure to take lots of pics.
OMG that sounds so delicious!!!
I just got home from work....went straight to work this morning after spending my weekend out of town at my moms. So...slim pickin's in the fridge and not too much of an appetite since I'm just tired and didn't feel like grocery shopping after work!
