Pork Chops and Mushrooms

I had some pork chops and wasn't sure how I wanted to cook then when I came across this in my fix it and forget it cookbook. We had everything on hand and I am sure glad I tired it. The pork chops were so tender you didn't even need a knife to cut them.

Pork Chops and Mushrooms

4 boneless pork chops
2 onions sliced (I used 1, chopped)
4 oz can of sliced mushrooms, will try more next time
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/4 cup of water
1 can cream of mushroom soup

1. Place pork chops in slow cooker. Top with onions and mushrooms.
2. In another bowel combine soup mix, water, and mushroom soup. Pour over pork chops.
3. Cover. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

Serve with some vegatables and rice or mashed potatoes for a comfot food kinda night.

Meal-In-One

This recipe has already been cooked twice, and it was great both times. I made a few changes the second time and it was even better!

Meal in One Casserole (from fix it and forgot it)

1-1.5 lbs ground beef (I just used one package)
1 onion, chopped
1/4 caynne pepper (my addition)
1/4 tsp. chili powder (my addition)
1 green pepper chopped(didn't have one the second time and it was still good)
1 15oz. can of whole kernel corn, drained
4 oz. can mushrooms
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
11 oz. jar of salsa
5 cups uncooked egg noodles (about half a bag)
28 oz dicded tomatos, undrained
1 cup shredded chesse

1. Cook beef with onion in skillet until brown. I also added some caynne pepper, and chili powder to the meat.
2. Tranfer to slow cooker
3. Top with green pepper, corn, and mushrooms.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add salsa
5. Pour the uncooked noodles over salsa
6. Top with tomatos and 3/4 cup water.
7. Sprinkle chesse over top. Cover and cook on low 4 hours.

I cooked mine 5 hours then it sat on keep warm for 3-4 more hours and it still tasted great! This is a very easy and forgiving recipie if you don't have something on hand just leave it out, or add anything you want to use up. It makes enough for dinner and lunch for two people. If you didn't want leftovers you could cut everythign in half.

First Post

Since I am very busy with grad. school, work, and a HUBBY dinners in this house have to be fast and simple. I figured I would start a blog to share some fast and yummy dinner ideas with everyone. A favorite I made about a week ago was Swiss Steak. It is a crock-pot dinner which is perfect for after a long day.

Swiss Steak
1.5 lbs round steak
2-4 Tbsp. flour
1/2 lb. sliced carrorts or 1 lb. baby carrots ( I used baby)
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
8 oz. can tomato soup
1/2 cup of water

1. Cut steak into serving size pieces. Dredge in flour.
2. Place carrots in bottom of slow cooker. Top with steak,
3. Combine soup mix, tomato sauce, and water. Pour over the steak.
4. Cover cook 8-10 hours on Low.

I served it over mashed potatos. I didn't take pictures, but I will update later with pictures. It was very good, and the leftovers tasted great too!
