**This is not a sponsored post. Lauren Greutman has no idea who I am. I thought this was worthy to pass on to my readers to help their cooking!** I am a huge fan of the crock pot, especially when the weather gets warm. So, when my best friend, Lindsey, told me about the experiment she was doing, I was interested. A friend of hers had told her about a book called 20 Slow Cooker Dump Meals and she went to Aldi and got all the ingredients. You then prepare all the meals at once, placing them in the big ziploc freezer bags and freeze them.

Crock Pot Pork Chops!

This used to be a pork chop, but after this recipe, it was falling off the bone! I found this recipe on  Food.com  and used it today for dinner. It was so good! The only tweak I would do is put in about 2-4 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. I think it needed a little more punch. Here is the recipe- 1 onion chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (I put in a little more) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon ginger 1/2  cup soy sauce 1/4 cup ketchup 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1-2 Tablespoons minced garlic Place the pork chops in the crock pot. Sprinkle with onion and first garlic. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl together. Pour over pork chops. Cook on low about 7 hours. They said serve with rice but I did potato wedges. Enjoy!
