Hot and Sweet Pork Chops in the Crock-Pot

4 – 6 Extra Thick (1.5 in) Pork Chops

1 Packet of Taco Seasoning

Canola Oil

1 Jar Picante Sauce

1 Jar Apricot/Pineapple Jelly (sometimes peach/pineapple) If you can’t find this, buy one of each and use half of each.

Directions:

Coat each pork chop in Taco Seasoning. Cover the bottom of a heated skillet with canola oil. Brown each pork chop in the skillet. This locks the juices inside the pork chop.

In a bowl, mix the hot sauce and jelly.

Prepare your crock pot. Place a liner in the crock pot. (I love these things. It makes the cleanup so much easier than scrubbing the pot.) Spray inside the liner with Pam. Spread your pork chops out in the crock pot. Pour the hot sauce/jelly mixture over the pork chops.

Don’t cook the life out of them – 2 hours should be plenty.

Serve with or over rice and a side salad.
