Here is a good recipe for your slow cooker. You can put it together before lunch and have your entrée ready for dinner. My cousin, Kara, shared this with me years ago and we really enjoy it. I hadn't prepared it for a long time, so I made it yesterday. I served it on a bed of brown rice and also made green beans and hot rolls.
Caribbean Pork Chops
6 pork chops (about 2 pounds)
3 T. flour
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 T. oil
1 (15 oz.) can pineapple chunks
3/4 cup pineapple juice (from the canned chunks)
1/4 cup water
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. dried onion
2 T. tomato paste
1/4 cup raisins
Mix flour, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder and rub into chops until mixture is gone. Brown meat in skillet with oil on stove. Drain pineapple (reserve juice!). Mix juice, water, brown sugar, tomato paste and dried onion. Place everything in the crock pot and cook on high for 3-3 1/2 hours or low for 6-7 hours. When finished, add fruit and heat 10 minutes or until the fruit is hot through. Serve on rice.
(I always cook it on the low setting. The meat is so tender it literally falls off the bones.)
Enjoy!
