Red rice Pork and beans salsa.
Two cups of your favorite Salsa sauce
one small sweet onion chopped.
four Pork Chops
Two crushed garlic cloves
One box or bag of Red Beans and Rice mix
1/2 half bottle of beer
If you like it hot (and I do) add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Oh that sounds very nice!

I do love me chops lol and garlic!

Must try that one this week,

Here's one of my very favorite crock pot recipes, I only make the in the winter months.

1 quart half and half
1/2 pound bacon cooked and diced, drained of course. Does not matter if bacon is cooked too crispy.
1/2 cup wild rice, cooked over low-medium heat in 2 cups water, cook til water is absorbed
1 pound Velveeta cheese cubed (melts faster)
2 cans cream of potato soup
1 medium-large onion diced

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker, heat on low of 4-6 hours stirring occasionally, or til thickened, serve.

You can substitute cubed cooked chicken for the bacon. or you can add the chicken to the recipe, it's so good, but caution, it's very filling.

Enjoy.

You are all making me hungry.

It's a great recipe category. And the way the flavors meld when cooked over long periods.

There is a recipe that I used to make in the winter. Sort of a cajun or soul-food style..
I've lost the recipe..but it included bacon, sausage, cabbage. crushed red peppers, I added potatoes. It was always a big hit.
I'll do my best to locate the recipe, and will post here, if I find it..

Two words for you Asala... Green Chili yum yum

1 medium pork roast
2 cans (4 ounces each) mild green chile peppers, chopped
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 - 1 small can (4 oz) hot jalapenos, diced(optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

PREPARATION:

Cover roast with water in slow cooker/Crock Pot and simmer overnight or approximately 8 hours. Let cool. Take meat off bone and separate into smaller pieces. Add meat, tomatoes, chiles and diced onions to the broth.

Add about 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let simmer another 8 hours. Thicken with flour and water.
Let set overnight in refrigerator. Serve the next day alone, with tortillas or over burritos.
