Crazy Crockpot Pork Chops
Ingredients for 4 servings:
4 Loin chops; lean
2 med Onions; sliced
1 tspn Butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Spices of your choice
Preparation:
Stand chops in crock pot, thin side down. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and spices of your choice. Cover with the onion slices, which have been separated into rings. Place butter on top and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until chops are tender and onions are done. The result is moist, tender chops with a deep brown color as if broiled in the oven.

Remaining onion and add with barbecue sauce. Cover and cook additional 1 to 2 hours on high or 4 to 5 hours on low, stirring two or three times. Serve on buns. With about 5 servings per meal, you’ll have extra to freeze for another day.

Apple Rosemary Pork Tenderloin
(OK, for the recipe below, I used regular apple cider and no maple syrup, tossed it all in a ziploc bag and sucked out all the air and let it marinate overnight, then put it all in the crockpot with the apples and onion on top and cooked on high for 4 hours, then reduced the sauce on the stove)
4 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
salt and pepper to taste
3 pounds pork tenderloin
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle hard apple cider
water
3 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup maple syrup
DIRECTIONS:
In a small bowl, mix together rosemary, thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Rub herb mixture over tenderloin. Place in a container, and pour hard cider over roast. Add water until pork is completely submerged. Cover, and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Place roast in a roasting pan, elevated from the bottom, and pour marinade around the meat. Bake for 1 hour in preheated oven.
In a large bowl, mix apples and onion. Put mixture around and on top of roast. Spoon brown sugar over entire pan evenly. Place roast back into oven, and continue to cook for 1 hour more, or until meat reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer roast, apples, and onion to a serving platter.
For the gravy, brown flour in a skillet. Pour the marinade/drippings mixture into the skillet. Stir in syrup. Cook and stir over high heat until liquid has thickened to desired consistency.
Slice roast, and serve with gravy.
BBQ Pork Ribs
We have used baby back ribs or country style pork ribs. I don't think it matters what kind you use.
Put ribs in crock pot and put a can of sauerkraut over the top. Cover with a bottle of BBQ sauce. Put some water in the BBQ sauce bottle and swish around and pour into the crock pot. Cook all day, I think we do 7 or 8 hours on low. This makes the best ribs. We made it this weekend and added some potato salad. You could also serve with some beans and/or a green vegetable or salad.
BBQ ribs
1 bottle of Durkee Kansas Style Steak Seasoning - Can be found at WalMart
1 Bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
1-2 racks of ribs
1 large sweet onion.
1. The night before.....
Remove membrane from back of ribs. Found this on BBQU.net and it is a great tip!
Pork and lamb ribs come with a papery membrane on the back (the concave side). I like to remove this membrane, which acts as a barrier to smoke and spice flavors. (It also tends to make the ribs a little tougher.)
To do this, loosen one corner from the meat with a slender, blunt, round object, like the end of a meat thermometer or Philips head screwdriver. (Insert the point just under the membrane next to one of the ribs and wiggle it.) Grab the membrane with a paper towel or the end of a dishtowel - it's slippery, and this will give you a grip. Gently but firmly pull the membrane away from the ribs: it should come away in a single sheet. Or ask your butcher to do it.
Gently rub in the Kansas City Style Steak seasoning. Use about 1 Tablespon per 1 lb of meat. Coat well, and rub this into the ribs. Put into fridge overnight (about 8hrs+).
2. When you are ready to cook, place a layer of ribs into the crock pot.
3. Then cut a piece of onion and place a layer of onions.
4. Place another layer of ribs and then onions until you fill your crock pot.
5. Cook for about 10-12 hrs on low to get the most tender ribs.
6. When done, remove from crock pot. Discard onion and juices on bottom of crock pot.
7. Place your ribs on a preheated grill and baste with your favorite BBQ sauce.
8. Cover grill and turn grill down to a nice medium to low heat. Let sit on grill for approx 10 min until BBQ sauce is baked in. If it's too cold to grill and you want to do this, I simply throw the ribs on a broiler pan, and put into the oven and broil them on low for about 10 min until sauce thickens and clings to the ribs.
Serve

Boneless pork chops/chicken breasts with bell peppers and rice
4 -6 boneless pork chops/chicken breasts
2 cans 99% fat free chicken broth
1 pkg Birdseye frozen bell pepper strips/onion medley
1 can low fat Cream of Celery soup
1 can low fat Cream of Mushroom soup
1 pkg italian dressing seasoning mix
1 to 1.5 cups of rice
*If you don't like Italian dressing mix, you can substitute with some other seasoning. I have used lemon pepper **
Spray crock pot with Pam. Add pork chops, onion/bell pepper mix, rice, seasoning mix, soup~ stir. Pour chicken broth in and stir well. Cook on low 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. I serve with green beans and a roll
Pulled Pork BBQ
1. Take 1 pork loin - fatty side up and put into crock pot.
2. Add 1 can of chicken broth
3. Cook for 12 hrs on low.
4. Once cooked, remove loin from crock. Scrape any excess fat away from pork.
5. Dump all liquid from crock pot - if there is a few tablespoons left over, it's ok, crock just needs to be mostly empty, but it doesn't have to be totally dry. A few teaspoons left over won't hurt, but a lot will really screw up the texture of this.
6. Shred pork with fork and put back into crock pot.
7. Add in your favorite BBQ sauce - 1/2 - 3/4 of a full loin takes about 2 full bottles. More pork will need more sauce. I personally LOVE Sticky Fingers Carolina Sweet BBQ Sauce. It's wonderful!
8. Cook on low for about another 1-2 hrs (until everthing is warmed thru).
9. Serve on fresh buns.
