I'm typically not a fan of pork. Actually, I tend to avoid buying it altogether unless it's a smoked ham. Something about the thought of it just grosses me out. I've had it prepared fabulously before, and loved it. I've had good recipes for it given to me, and enjoyed them. But in general, at the grocery store I tend to avoid picking any up.
The other day though they were on that same sale I mentioned in my last post. So I bought some. Then I realized that I had nothing that I would normally make with it. Nor did I have the time to spend frying it. So I threw something together, put it in the crockpot, and called it good. The family raved over it. And I even bought a package of pork blade steak this last time I was there to do it again. Here's what I came up with:
1 package of pork chops/loins/blade steaks(I think there were 4 in there)
2 cans of cream of mushroom
a handful of fresh mushrooms (optional of course)
1/4 medium sized onion chopped VERY small
a couple garlic cloves, pressed
salt
pepper
I literally dumped it in the cp. It was done on high in about 3 hours. (Stir it half way through if you want -- just to make sure everything is evenly coated.) I served it w/ mashed potatoes and green beans.
Again, the family adored it. So finally, a plus one for pork. :)

I wonder how this would do with another meat. Jas eats pork, but I don't and our kids won't until they're old enough to ask for themselves (I'd prefer understand the risks, but compromises had to be made)... So we keep ham around for him, but no way I'm making it lol. Anything else he has to go out to get.
Glad to see ya back on here though!
I make this at times with pork and I make it with chicken. it's always a favorite with us.
