Easy crock pot recipe

There are quite a few easy crock pot recipes in my cupboard and I hope you enjoy these as much as our family do.

My first easy crock pot recipe is for pork:

Easy crock pot recipe for pork chops

Serves 4 adults

Ingredients:

• 4 thick pork chops
• 2 small squashes
• 1 tablespoon of slightly salted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of gravy browning (optional)
• The zest and juice of one fresh orange
• salt and pepper to taste
  

First de-seed and cut the squashes into 1cm cubes. Now layer three chops in the bottom of your crock pot. Place half the squash cubes on top; then add the next three chops. Then add the rest of the squashes. Combine the rest of the ingredients together and spoon into the crock pot. Put the lid on the pot and cook in a low oven till the cows come home (about 6 hours is good). Serve with wholemeal sodabread.

My second easy crock pot recipe came from an old cookery notebook I found in a rummage sale many years ago.
