Layered Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onions

This is a great week night meal because it’s easy to prepare and simmers on the stove for quite awhile. Not quite as good as throwing it in the oven, but the simmering will yield meat that’s super tender. The layered parmesan adds complexity and just plain good taste to the dish.

In any case, I thought you all might like to know what I did with my leftover Sweet Barbecue Pork Chops that we made in the slow cooker. First of all. . … Continue reading →

For our family, I make our barbecue sauce a little sweet with extra brown sugar to appeal to the taste buds of my kids. If you prefer a more savory sauce cut down on the brown sugar a little. And of course if you want more ‘kick’ to your sauce, add more chili powder, and a whole onion, finely chopped. It’s important to note that the “sauce” really is … Continue reading →
