I needed to throw a dinner together before leaving for church this morning--as we had my family here visiting. I couldn't just procrastinate and come up with something "easy" like Kevin and I normally do. I wanted to be a good hostess. So I started the bread machine bright and early and then tried to brainstorm through ingredients and crockpot ideas. I had pork chops that I found in the back of the freezer that were from who knows how long ago. I wasn't sure they were still edible but I couldn't throw them away without at least trying to cook them. (They were still great, btw.) We had two sweet potatoes in the pantry which had somehow developed moisture in their packaging and thus mold was taking over. I knew I could save at least some of those root vegetables. I also still had a huge bag of apples from our neighbor's tree. Hmmm. Think, Mel, think.
The result was quite delicious. Kevin helped me quite a bit in the brainstorming process. I have to give him half the credit.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
4 apples, peeled and sliced
1 whole onion, sliced
1/4 cup apple cider
3/4 cup water
salt
pepper
1 Tbsp cinnamon
sprinkle of nutmeg
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 boneless pork chops or pork roast
Combine all ingredients except pork in the bottom of the slow cooker. Stir to combine. Place pork on top and cook on high 4 hours.
