Slow Cooked Pork and Potatoes
Ingredients
- 6 bone in pork loin chops
- 4 medium sized potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, cut into small chunks
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 14 ounces of chicken broth
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 cup low fat milk
- (optional: add in carrots, green beans or vegetable of choice)
Instructions
FIRST STEP:
Spray the slow cooker with non stick spray
Place the chunky potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot
SECOND STEP:
In a skillet, lightly brown the pork chops, in the canola oil
Place the browned pork chops on the top of the potatoes
THIRD STEP:
Place the cut up onion in the skillet without cleaning it. Saute using the oil and juices from the pork chops
Put the sauteed onions on top of the pork chops
FOURTH STEP:
In the same skillet, melt the butter and whisk in the flour.
Add the salt, pepper and the chicken broth
FIFTH STEP:
Stir until well combined and beginning to thicken
Pour this sauce over the top of the onions in the crock pot. The sauce will slowly pass on down through all the ingredients and they will then have all the flavor of the sauce
SIXTH STEP:
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 4 hours
Skim off any fat that accumulates and thicken the sauce more if desired
Enjoy!
