I love my slow cooker!


My slow cooker saves me so much time. I recently made this yummy slow cooked Asian pork chops with glazed carrots and snow peas. I made it ALL in the slow cooker. Since it was part of my one hour make ahead meals, I had it all ready to put into the slow cooker in the morning. It took less than 5 minutes! My 14 yr old son did ask what the green things were. I was a little surprised when he actually ate them! :)

5 thick boneless pork chops
3/4 C brown sugar
2 t ground ginger
1/4 C soy sauce
1/2 C ketchup
2 cloves garlic
3/4 C water
All goes in the slow cooker. Cover with a piece of foil.
On a large piece of foil add:
1 bag baby carrots
1 bag snow peas
3 T butter or olive oil
2 1/2 T honey
1 pinch ground ginger
1 T lemon juice
Fold foil to make a sealed packet and place on top of pork chops in slow cooker. The veggies will steam inside the packet. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Enjoy!
