Last night's dinner..

So I am really not a fan of pork. Like at all. Our relatives are pig farmers and I can barely eat any of their meat, which I have been assured by MANY others, is fabulous; I just cannot do it. I do LIKE pulled BBQ pork, just not from any animals I may have ever smiled at/looked at. Wierd, I know, but I am seriously like 4 steps away from being a vegetarian if it were not for cheeseburgers and chicken tacos. So, last night I tried once again to make a pork recipe that was not bbq pork. I had made this recipe before on the stove top, but the pork was still what I considered too tough. So I was reading some people's adjustments and thought, "Ah, the slow cooker. I love when the meat falls apart in the slow cooker, I'll try that!" And that was the best decision EVER. What ended up coming out was like the insides of a Qdoba burrito. And I LOVE QDOBA. So that was excellent. (I say, so, way too much.) The hub loved it, I loved it = success. We ate it on top of brown rice, but decided next time we would mix it with the brown rice and put it on a burrito. We used a few tortilla chips to scoop stuff out, but for the most part we just ate it on top of the rice with a dap of sour cream. And sorry, but I did not take any photos of this endeavor.

Here is the Black Bean and Pork Chop recipe that I pulled from and here is what I did..

Inside of my small (I have two) crockpot I put..

-half a medium onion on the bottom

- 3 thinly sliced pork chops sprinkled with cilantro and chilli powder

- 1 cup of hot salsa

- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans

- sprinkling of black pepper

-sprinkling of more chilli powder and cilantro on top

-sprinkling of cracked red pepper

Put on the low setting for about 6-7 hours cuz that's when we ate. Made brown rice how the box said.

It was fabulous. Next time I will probably make it hotter and probably make it into a burrito.

And because I feel like sharing a photo.. look at this scrumptious meal the hubby made a few weeks ago on the grill with mostly veggies from our garden...
