TANGY TOMATO PORK CHOPS

The other day I was skimming through some of my favorite blogs looking for a crock pot recipe, and came upon this one.  I found it on the Little Kitchen on the Prairie blog.  It was quick and easy to put together, and turned out WONDERFUL!  Even my picky eater husband liked it!  I hope you give this one a try, I know your family will like it too.


Tangy Tomato Pork Chops:

4 (I/2 inch thick) pork chops
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 (14 oz can) stewed tomatoes (I used diced)
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbs EACH cider vinegar, brown sugar, worchestershire sauce
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp beef bullion (or one bullion cube)

Sprinkle each side of pork chops with salt and pepper.  Place in slow cooker.  Place the onion, celery, and bell pepper on top.  Combine remaining ingredients, then pour over the chops and vegetables.  Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.  Serve over rice.  When done, you can thicken your sauce with a little cornstarch and water mixture.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE

I found this recipe in an OLD church cookbook from the 1960's.  It was a church my parents attended in Missouri before I was born.  My husband and I both love Chicken Cordon Bleu, so I thought it would be worth giving it a try.  Boy am I glad I did!  It was a BIG hit with my husband, and he is VERY picky!  Hope you give this one a try.  ENJOY!

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole:

2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
1 cup diced ham
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup milk

Crumb Topping:

1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used Colby-jack)
1/2 stick butter, melted

Layer the first four ingredients in the order they appear in a casserole dish.  Combine soups and milk; pour over layers.  Combine topping ingredients, and sprinkle on top of casserole.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
