It's not that I was getting tired of my normal pork chops per say, but I think it's probably good to know how to cook meat in more than one way, so yesterday, I went in search of a way to cook them in the slow-cooker (I was feeling pretty lazy).
Basically, everything just said to put them into the slow-cooker covered in a bottle barbecue sauce and whatever additives you want (with possibly a little extra water so they don't dry out) and cook them on low for 6-8 hours. It sounded simple enough. I was even reassured that, if I wanted to, they'd be tender enough to make into pulled pork...something I will be trying, but not with four little pork chops.
Anyway, I got all excited and got my stuff together, only to find that the barbecue sauce we had went bad in May (whoops). So, I tried to make my own...meaning the pork chops were basically cooked in tomato soup mixed with a variety of spices and several random sauces/condiments. For what they were, they were actually pretty good, but I definitely learned to make sure you have everything before you start cooking (a lesson I think I've already been taught once or twice in the past...I'm just hard to calm when I get excited and intent on something).
I'll definitely be trying this again and if I get around to it, you can bet I'll tell you how well it works for pulled pork.
