Crockpot Pork Chops

I started this new thing last week (after spending hours on Pinterest and gaining inspiration) where I plan and prep a ton of food for multiple dinners, freeze what I can and then have it ready to go when I need it.

I don't really know why I started this, because I'm unemployed and home all the time to actually cook fresh meals but SHUDDUP. It seemed like a good idea and an interesting project!

So far it's working out okay. Just okay because I've still had to buy things for lunches, and we've already had at least four nights of venturing away from all these prepared foods...but definitely on the up side of okay because we've had some delicious meals.

Like the pork chops we ate tonight.

There's totally a fork mark in it because I couldn't wait to eat, it smelled that good in my kitchen.

Just a few quick thangs - if you're making these to freeze and eat later, throw everything in a resealable airtight bag and defrost in advance of making. If you don't want to use a crockpot, I'm sure you can bake them or fry them, but make sure they have at least 4 hours to marinate in the sauce and (FYI) you'll also be missing out on the delicious pulled pork-ness of them.

Now I'm wishing I ate two for dinner instead of giving the Boyfriend the extra one...


 Crockpot Pork Chops

What You Need
4 pork loin chops
1/4 cup g-f soy sauce
1/4 cup g-f chicken broth
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper

What You Do
1. Prepare the pork chops by removing any excess fat (if necessary) and giving them a good pat down with salt and pepper
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar and red pepper flakes until the sugar has dissolved
3. Pour over the pork chops and allow them to marinate for at least 4 hours - the longer the better!
4. Place chops in crockpot and cover with sauce. Let cook for 3 hours on LOW setting
5. Flip the chops over to make sure they get an even coating
6. Continue to cook on LOW for another 3-4 hours, until pork flakes easily with fork
