"Dump" Freezer Meals Round 2: Pork Chops

Pork Chops go on "Manager Special" or discount prices ALL the time, so that is when I stock up on my pork chops, throw them in the freezer and cook a later date. It's so handy, and plus it makes our teacher salary stretch a little farther when it comes to buying meat.

I would love to add more pork recipes to do with a roast, but that is not something we have on hand very often. But when we do, you can bet Cafe Rio Burrito's are on the menu! :)

All the recipes call for 4-6 pork chops, however my husband and I are the only ones who will eat pork at our house (we have yet to convince the 3 year old it's just like Ham, which she loves!) So I only added 2 to each baggie.

Sage Pork Chops: (This is the ONLY one we have not tried, so I don't tell you how good it is, but I don' think you can go too wrong with such a simple recipe!)

2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp butter
1 c. water
2 beef bullion cubes
Pork Chops

Throw all ingredients into a gallon sized zip lock bag. Cook on low 6-8 hours (pork cooks fast, and dries out easily, so I'd check it at about 5 hours). Serve with carrots and potatoes.

Cranberry Pork Chops:

1/2 can of cranberry sauce
1 c. apple sauce
1/4 c. white onion
2-4 pork chops.

Throw all ingredients into a gallon sized zip lock bag. Cook on low 6-8 hours (pork cooks fast, and dries out easily, so I'd check it at about 5 hours). Serve with mashed potatoes.

Cinnamon Apple Pork Chops: I really liked this one. It was a "step up" for our normal Sunday Dinner.

1 C. apple sauce
3 Tbsp Cinnamon
4 Pork Chops

Throw all ingredients into a gallon sized zip lock bag. Cook on low 6-8 hours (pork cooks fast, and dries out easily, so I'd check it at about 5 hours). We had mashed potatoes and broccoli with it.

Teriyaki Pork Chops: 

2-4 pork chops
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1/3 c. Chicken Broth
2 tsp Garlic
1/4 c. Soy Sauce

Throw all ingredients into a gallon sized zip lock bag. Cook on low 6-8 hours (pork cooks fast, and dries out easily, so I'd check it at about 5 hours). Serve with Rice and Veggies!

Hawaiian Pork Chops/Chicken: This is my favorite one! 

2-4 pork chops/chicken breasts
1 can pineapple tidbits
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Throw all ingredients into a gallon sized zip lock bag. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Serve with Rice and Veggies!
