Sierra, that was great planning.
I had a very bad day yesterday, and felt emotionally and physically sapped today, but Kim had thawed some lovely boneless pork loin chops last night, so I put them in the crockpot with the ubiquitous onion soup mix and canned 98% lowfat cream of mushroom soup, along with some baby carrots about noon, and turned the temperature on low.
By 4:00 PM, the meat was fork tender, so I added a can of drained mushrooms and a can of whole new potatoes. I then turned off the heat, and the whole mixture is just sitting there, melding, until we get ready to eat. HB wants Le Seur peas with it, and they are sitting out, ready to heat.
It may not be a gourmet dish, but it's so good and so easy. Sometimes, I think I should make a cookbook for the handicapped.
By the way, you all shouldn't shy away from using canned potatoes. I used to can potatoes out of my garden, because I didn't have a good place to store them. No, they don't taste fresh by themselves, but when you put them in with a dish like this, where they can soak up the seasonings, they are very good.
