Yummy Pork Chops- EASY!



 Barb's Easy & Fast Barbecued Pork Chops

  
I made these pork chops tonight. So tender they just fall apart. The best part? 10-15 minutes prep time! Here's the recipe:
1. Brown thick-cut pork chops on all sides- top, bottom and all 4 sides. This keeps the juices in and helps the meat stay tender while cooking.

                  
2. Then put them in a crock pot.
3. Add 1/4 of a medium sized onion, chopped. I used two different kinds of onion that I had chopped and frozen.
4. Pour a bottle of barbecue sauce over the onions and pork chops.
5. Put the lid on the crock pot and turn it on LOW. Cook for 6 hours.

That's it! When you take them out, they are super tender and very delicious! Enjoy! If you try them, let me know what you think!

Also, new frog desk name tags in the stores today:

Does your classroom have a frog theme? Are you a frog fanatic? If you answered yes, then here are two cute book covers for you! I suggest you print these covers on cardstock, a thicker paper. Then laminate them for years of use.
