Pork :)

This week's adventure was "Chili Verde"(even though it has nothing to do with chili).

I will rename it "Salsa Verde Pork Chops"
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1-2 lbs boneless pork chops
sliced carrots (enough to cover bottom of crockpot)
1 jar salsa verde
chopped onion

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Brown pork on both sides. Drain fat.
2. Place carrot slices in crockpot. Place pork on top of carrots. Pour salsa over chops. Add onion. Cook 6-8 hours.

**I served it with brown rice and a green salad.

We lucked out and even had our two good friends over for dinner to be our guinea pigs! I asked for everyone's opinions and here are their comments (paraphrased).
Kate: "It was really good Aubs!"
RJ: "That was awesome!"
Parker: "The chops were just a little tough, but it's a good recipe, worth doing again."
3 year old: When asked if he liked his meat, "This isn't meat!"
1 year old: After biting into the carrots, sticks out her tongue and makes faces like "it's hot!!" and looks for her bottle.
Me: It was very good, but a little on the spicy side for kids. I would make it again, but do more of a searing thing with the chops so that they don't cook so long in the skillet. I also cooked them for like 4 1/2 hours because I didn't have 6-8 hours. But the chops were definitely done cooking in 4 hours. But overall, I would give it a B+ and I would definitely make it again, but maybe with more of a mild salsa verde. Give it a try! Let me know what you think!
