    This is an easy one

    Italian Pork Chops

    Ingredients

    16 ounce bottle italian salad dressing
    4 pork chops

    Prep.
    Place pork chops in slow cooker. Pour salad dressing over pork chops
    Cover, cook on low 8 to 9 hours

    I often add pototoes and carrots (if I don't feel like making separate sides- That gives me my meat, starch and vegetable) or I just have a nice salad with it.

    Easy one for a Monday

    Wow, this is awesome!
    I have been into cooking for quite some time now and this is what I would say a goldmine of recipes that anyone could try over the weekend or perhaps during the day when the kids are already at school and would like to surprise them with a new recipe.
    Definitely some great recipes to surprise the hubby when he comes home after a day's work at the office.
    What I will do is, have these recipes organized in my good old recipe boxes.
    Will be back again for new recipes posted here.
    Happy cooking everybody!
