Re: Crockpot rules !

I made this tonight - SO SO good!! Definitely my new favorite pork recipe:

4-6 pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste (I used minced garlic)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion,
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (I used Fat Free)


1.Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and then dredge in 1/2 cup flour. In a skillet over medium heat, lightly brown chops in a small amount of oil.
2.Place chops in slow cooker, and top with onion slices. Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water and pour over chops. Cover, and cook on Low 7 to 8 hours.
3.After the chops have cooked, transfer them to a seperate dish. Be careful, the chops are so tender they will fall apart. In a small bowl, blend 2 tablespoons flour with the sour cream (I only used about 2/3 of the container); mix into meat juices from the crock pot.


**I made mashed potatoes as a side. The creamy sauce was really really good over the potatoes too.

Serve sauce over pork chops.
