Quick & Easy Slow Cooker Pork Chops
Ingredients
4-6 Pork Chops
2 Large potatoes, cut up
2 Cups baby carrots
3 Cups prepared Epicure's Chicken Boullion
2 TBSP Epicure's French Onion Dip Mix
1 TBSP Epicure's 3 Onion Dip Mix
Salt & Pepper

Instructions
  • Mix Boullion, French Onion, 3 Onion Dip Mixes, salt & pepper in slow cooker.
  • Add Pork Chops, potatoes, carrots & cook for approximately 6 hours on low.
I used a small slow cooker & only made half a recipe (only took about 4 hours), so you may need to adjust your time according to size.  This one was great, the meat just fell off the bone & I love meals that are cooked all in one pot!!
