2-3 tbsp butter
1-2 lrge russet potatoes, baked and cooled
1 c chopped cooked chicken (roasted or baked chicken is best)
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chipolte chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c. water
1/2 c cooking wine to deglaze the pan
melt butter in pan and add the chicken onions and potatoes. saute until browned on all sides. deglaze pan with white wine and water. add seasoning and let simmer gentle for a few minutes until the flavors meld. this was SOO yummy! I love potatoes. I think you could also easily sub in bacon or ham for the chicken. A good green veg goes along perfectly!

Great Fab Find!!!
Original Recipe for Maple Glazed Pork Chops
But I tweaked it a little bit! Obviously!
8 boneless pork chops
3 tsps chili powder
1 tsp chipoltle chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 can chicken broth
1/2 c maple syrup (real!)
3 tbsps balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
about 3 lbs sweet potatoes
2-3 red onions chopped
I cut up the sweet potatoes and the onions and then got them to boiling on the stove. I then seasoned the chops with the chili powders and salt and then browned them in the oil. I then started the balsamic reducing. When the potatoes were done I mashed them with butter and some chicken broth. after the chops had browned I added some broth to the pan and covered and simmered for a bit. When they were done I removed the lind and drained the liquid off. I then finished the sauce with the maple, broth and a pat of butter. I then poured the sauce on the chops and served the chops and sauce over the mashed sweet potatoes/red onions, it was bangin'!!

Pork and Apples In The Crock Pot
This was yummy, kids and adults enjoyed alike.
8 boneless pork chops
1 onion sliced thin or chopped
4 granny smith apples, peeled cored and sliced thin like the onions
1 c chicken broth
1/3 c orange juice
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/2-3/4 tsp ground mustard
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp butter
salt and pepper (for seasoning chops before browning and seasoning the food throughout)
1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2-3 tbsp brown sugar
In a med saute pan, add the oil and half the butter and brown the chops in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place in bottom of the crock pot. In the same pan add other half of butter and the apples and onions. saute until they begin to pick up some of the color of the pork. Add to the top of the chops in crock pot. To the saute pan add the oj, broth, mustard, brown sugar, and season to taste, scrape up any remaining brown bits and allow to mix thoroughly. Pour sauce over top of onions, apples, and chops mixture. Turn crock pot to high and cook 2-3 hours or until the chops are tender and cooked through. I added the cider vinegar at this time after tasting and also seasoned with salt and pepper. At this point I removed the chops and mixed a slurry of 1/4 c cold water to about 2-3 tbsp corn startch and added it to the pot. Stiring until thickened (happend fast). I added the chops back into the pot and then allowed to hang out and cool a bit. I served over mashed potatoes, this would go well with any veggie, but remember there are lots of apples in this. And it was yummy!

New Recommends
Company Chicken****
This was as good as I remember it being, but this recipe amped it up a bit. I follow this pretty close, excet I browned the bacon after cutting it in half so one piece of bacon topped one piece of chicken. Then I browned the breasts in the bacon drippings (just about tbsps worth). Then I put them in the baking dish. This is SUCH a yummy dinner or lunch, which is what we had. Must try, but remember its not very figure friendly.
Cheddar Beer Soup **
This was just pretty good. I did add a sauted group of celery, onion and carrots and also boiled some potatoes and added the potatoe water to thicken the soup, it just was very bland. I don't know if I will make this again, but maybe. Need a TON more salt and thats kinda not too cool to me when I cook, I don't want to add gallons of salt to a recipe! :D
Bangers and Mash ***
I Loved the Mash on this one and will continue to make it. The bangers were okay, but not like the real thing, although the gravy was tasty. I will tweak it again next time like I did this time. But I don't want to do the exact same thing again. But I want a more beefy sauce with the flavor of carmelized onions and such. For the mash I sauteed some slaw mix and then added it to the salted and peppered mash with a little butter and milk, just a touch, it was YUMMMY.. so the bangers get ** and the mash gets ****!
Mac and Cheese with Onions and Bacon****
This was straight up comfort bonanza! WOWIE! I carmelized the onions while the other things cooked and mixed them with the bacon and stired them into the finished pasta and then baked it all with panko sprinkled on top with some parm! Just fabulous! WOWOWOWOW!!!
Buffalo Chicken Bites ***
Yum! Good easy comfort food. I have either been in a comfort food zone lately or a light and tasty mood. So this had fit the bill well! Enjoy it!!!
Glazed Carrots ***
I made this for a friend a couple of months ago, and tried a bite, don't tell her I did. it was really good. I wanted to make it for my own fam, but didn't get around to it yet! :D
