Recipe #9 Day 9

Day 9 of 30
Tangy Pork Chops

This was a really great recipe. I wasn't sure how tangy the sauce was going to be but it was really tasty. My boys really like it, my daughter was so-so about it. I serve it with couscous, becoming our newest, favorite grain. I would certainly do this again. Easy ingredients and easy to assemble. Smelled great. It's wonderful leaving the house with food in the slow cooker and coming home to dinner made, it truly feels like your own personal chef has been to your house. I also served this with the flat green beans (Allens Cut Italian Green Beans - 28 oz can). We like these green beans.

4-6 1/2 inch thick pork chops
salt/pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 large green pepper, sliced
14.5 oz. can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 beef bouillon cube
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. water

Place chops in slow cooker. Sprinkle both sides with salt & pepper.
Top with onions, celery, green pepper and stewed tomatoes.
In small bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and bouillon. Mix. Pour over vegetables.
Cover. Cook on LOW 5-6 hours or until internal meat temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Combine cornstarch and water and stir till smooth. Stir into slow cooker.
cover, cook on HIGH for 30 minute or until sauce is thickened.
Serve over rice or couscous or fettucine noodles. Spoon sauce over top of pork chops, the sauce is really delicious.

Cost was only about $10 since I already had most of the ingredients in my kitchen. Only had to buy pork chops, celery, onion, green pepper and bouillon cubes.
