Crock Pot Wednesday: Pork Chops Creation

For some reason, this silly crock pot makes me feel nearly invincible in the kitchen.  I rarely have fear with creating dishes.  Once I learned that potatoes cooked well in this marvelous appliance, I was inspired. 

Today, I am cooking a recipe I made up.  I don't know if it will be tasty or not.  I don't know if it will be a success or a failure.  You are welcome to try it, just don't expect too much!

I added this recipe in my menu plan on Monday.  I am undecided at this point if I will use chicken or pork - we just had pork a couple days ago. 

Without further ado:

Sesame Ginger Pork Chops and Seasoned Potatoes

Using a divided crock, I will make pork chops in a sesame ginger glaze with seasoned roasted potatoes.

In one side of crock, drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil in bottom.  Place pork chops in crock.  Pork chops can be raw or can be seared on each side.  I plan to sear mine first.  Add about a 1/4 cup water and a 1/4 cup Lowry's Sesame Ginger marinade.  Cook on Low for 4-6 hours until pork is done.

In other side of crock, place cleaned and cubed potatoes.  Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.  Season to taste.  I had a lightbulb moment concerning the 'taters.  Place clean/cubed potatoes in a ziploc bag.  Drizzle in extra virgin olive oil.  Sprinkle in seasonings.  I plan to use seasoned salt and some dry mustard and probably just experiment with the different spices I have on my rack.  Shake the bag like mad.  Pour into other side of the crock.  Cook as directed above.

To serve, place pork chop and potatoes on plate.  Add a side of salad.  Drizzle just a little marinade over the pork chops.

I hope this recipe works!  I will let you know!
