Stuffed Pork Chops

-


What a deal!


On the almost new/never used reduced area of the meat section, I found bbq thick pork chops for 1/2 price.

 Pork Chops are John's go to meal. He loves them. I love stuffed pork. Judy hates stuffing.

 Tonight I decided to try something a bit different!





3 - 1" or thicker pork chops (1/2 frozen if possible as they are easier to work with)

Take a very sharp knife and slit a hole into the meat making a pocket in each.
Set aside to continue thawing while you make the stuffing etc.

 I use a rice cooker. Thanks to Pam, I asked for one, and thanks to Mom I have one.
Use whatever method makes you happy.

2 cups rice
4 cups water
1 package of Knorr beef vegetable soup mix

Italian seasoning
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Cook the rice, and set aside approx  1 1/2 cups in a mixing bowl. Set the rest aside as a side dish for either this meal or tomorrow nights! Into the bowl I added the Italian spice and bread crumbs (which I make from the last bits of crackers, garlic bread and crusts from our regular loaves) Mix well. make small balls and stuff the meat. Each of mine stood up like a U on the cookie sheet. I added some water to the pan, and baked for 45 minutes covered with foil at 350.

We served this with "grown up mac and cheese" and brussel sprouts, warm buns and apple sauce. We kept the rice for another meal!

"BON APPETIT!"

Leftover Scalloped Potato Soup

-
Want a use for leftover scalloped potatos? Make soup. After a holiday meal I always use up my leftover ham and make scalloped potatoes and ham with brocolli, but this year, I made too much! Now what? Scalloped potato soup... I found this online. 4 cups leftover scalloped potatoes 1 cup cubed ham (optional) **NOTE: I added some leftover bacon(cubed) as well. 4 cups chicken broth 1 tablespoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions Place the scalloped potatoes and ham into a large pot, and pour in enough chicken broth to cover the potatoes completely. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. This sticks to the bottom of the pot easily, so I heated well and transfered to a crock pot to keep hot. Stir in the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and simmer for about 10 minutes. or In crockpot mix liquid and seasonings, throw the leftovers in the crockpot before work so supper is ready ...
