With all of this crazy weather going on around the nation, I figured today would be the perfect day for a slow cooker meal. Not only is this recipe delicious, but it is also so comforting and smells amazing while it cooks! Plus sweet potatoes are so amazing for you!
My days are already busy so I tend to pull out my slow cooker this time of year and begin dinner early in the day. Besides the house smelling yummy when I get home, I'm thrilled that dinner is ready to serve when I walk in the door.
Here's one I tried this week that my husband loved. Sweet potatoes are High in vitamin A and C and are powerful antioxidants.
I offer bone in pork chops or boneless. Both are perfect for this recipe. Cost is $6.00 per chop. Call me or email me. I'll deliver right to your door. I have plenty in stock today!!! (Southern California Residents only.)
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4-6 Center cut pork chops (boneless or bone in -- both work)
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
1/2 cup (1stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion (Vidalia or yellow) thinly sliced into half rounds
4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2- inch slices
1 cup orange juice
Combine the thyme, salt and pepper in small bowl. Sprinkle half the mixture on both sides of the chops. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add the pork chops and brown on both sides. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium high heat. Add the remaining thyme mixture and sauté for 1 minute.
Add the onion and sauté until the onion begins to soften-about 3 minutes. Transfer the onion to the slow cooker leaving some of the butter in the skillet. Cover the onion with the sweet potato slices and pour the orange juice over all.
Drizzle the potatoes with the butter remaining in the skillet. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours until the Chops and potatoes are tender.
Happy Cooking.
