Lately we've been on a pretty steady rotation of meals. Maybe lack of creativity, or just being lazy, we're stuck on the same 7 or 8 recipes. Our current favorite that is made at least every two weeks is Salsa Pork Chops.
I don't have a link to the recipe, it came from my mom! It was included in a book of recipes put together at my bridal shower of everyone's favorites. She included all of her go to dishes when we were growing up and menus for the holiday dinners that she always followed. (This also gets me points towards my 101 in 1001 goals!!!)
In an effort to move away from eating only chicken and beef, I tried this one with pork chops. It's super easy folks. SUPER easy. It cooks all day in the crockpot, so it's just about 5-10 mins in the morning to throw everything together.
I don't have any pictures because really, it doesn't look super appetizing. It's just a big hot mess, but MAN is it delicious.
Salsa Pork Chops (4-6 servings)
4 boneless pork chops
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn, drained
1 small can of chopped green chilis
1 jar of red medium heat, vegetable salsa
1 chopped onion
Throw it all together in the crockpot and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 6 hours. The pork will shred up really easily and will be perfect.
We either eat it with brown rice or pull out some whole wheat tortillas and cheese and make pork tacos.
There are enough leftovers for at least another dinner, often two. It is even better two days later as leftovers.
Just FYI, I entered everything into Weight Watchers and got a PointsPlus value of 10 per serving.
Sounds delicious! Chris makes pork chops marinated in Italian dressing all the time and then he adds cut of veggies. Whatever we have, but usually peppers and onions and then just bake it for an hour. That's really good too. Or sometimes I just plop some BBQ sauce on a chop and bake that for dinner. Just some other super easy recipes to help get you two of your recipe rut!
