Fix it and Forget it Pork Chops (crockpot style)

I found myself with a family pack of pork chops and all I knew is that I didn't wanna fry them (I'm on a diet!) This is a doubled recipe because I had 10 chops...

Ingredients:

8 - 10 pork chops
2 - 10 oz. cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic salt
Optional: Onion slices
1/2 cup of water

Directions:

If using onions with this recipe, place onions on the bottom of the crockpot. Saute pork chops til they are no longer pink. (I used Olive oil to give it a kick in the flavor). Place chops over the onions. Combine the soup, pepper, garlic salt and water until well mixed and pour the entire mixture over the meat. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours.

The original recipe calls for uncooked rice to be placed inthe crockpot, but its been my experience that rice should be cooked on the side.

Fix it and Forget it Chicken Teriyaki (crockpot style)

I made this last night and it smelled great - and tasted EVEN better!! Works well over rice and would go perfect with stir fry veggies!

Ingredients:

2-3 lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken
1 cup of your favorite teriyaki sauce
A dash of ground ginger
1 - 20 oz. can of crushed pineapples

Directions:

Place chicken on the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle with a dash of ginger, then pour teriyaki sauce and pineapples over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Fix it and FORGET IT!

I added onion slices and usually have either green onions or seasame seeds handy for Teriyaki dishes. It was DELICIOUS!!
