Crock Pot Pork Chops and Gravy




Pork chops what more can I say?  I like them just about anyway a person can cook them.  I plan on posting quite a few recipes for them in the coming months. Today's is simple. My daughter loves brown gravy and I love onions so I thought why not put these together and here is the result.

 Crock Pot Pork Chops and Gravy

  •  4-6 pork chops
  •  1 cup chicken broth
  •  1 can cream of chicken soup
  •  1 packet brown gravy mix 
  •  1 packet onion soup mix
Place your pork chops in your slow cooker.  In a medium bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and pour over chops.  Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until chops are fall-apart tender.  (I cooked mine 10 hours and they fell apart.)

Sausage Squash Casserole





I love squash!  Growing up it had to be fried. I loved the small pieces I could just pop them in my mouth. Then as I grew I found the love for boiled squash. Others would just say "Yuck, how can you eat that?". It was good!  I put this recipe together in hopes to change squash a little. I think it happened. You be the judge.

Sausage Squash Casserole

  • 2 medium summer squash, sliced and cooked
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced and cooked 
  • 1 lb. sausage, browned 
  • 1 cup mayonnaise 
  • ¼ cup onion, chopped and cooked in butter
  • 2 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper 
  • ¼ cup melted butter 
  • 1 ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Heat the oven to 350.  Save 1/2 cup cheese for later. In a bowl, mix all the other ingredients. Spread mixture into 13x9 baking dish. Top the 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until light brown.
