Well now, let me tell you ‘bout makin’ those pork chops and rice in a crockpot. It ain’t hard at all, just like bakin’ a pie in the sun, real simple-like. You just gotta take your time, and it’ll turn out tasty, I promise!
First off, you need some good pork chops. Don’t go gettin’ those fancy ones, just plain ones will do. Maybe some bone-in or boneless, it don’t matter much. You want ‘em nice and juicy, so pick what looks good at the store. While you’re there, grab yourself some rice, white or brown, it’s all the same in the end.
Now, let’s talk about how to cook ‘em. You start with the pork chops. Season ‘em good, salt and pepper will do. You can add some garlic powder or onion powder if you like, but keep it simple, ya know? Just sprinkle it on, and don’t be shy!
Next, you take your crockpot. You know, that handy pot that cooks slow? You set it up on the counter, plug it in, and get ready to go. Put a little oil in the bottom, just enough to keep things from stickin’. Then, lay those pork chops right in there. They should be snug as a bug in a rug.
After that, it’s time for the rice. Now, you can cook the rice in a separate pot or throw it in the crockpot with the chops. If you do, just remember to add enough water—two cups of water for every cup of rice, just like you’d do any other time. Make sure it’s mixed in good. You don’t want it too dry or too soggy.
Now, set your crockpot to low. This is the best part. You can just let it sit there and do its thing. If you’re in a hurry, you can set it to high, but I always think low is better for makin’ things tender and tasty. Let it cook for about 6 to 8 hours on low, or 3 to 4 hours on high. But really, if you can, let it take its time. Good things come to those who wait!
While that’s all cookin’, you can do whatever you want—tend to the garden, chase the chickens, or just sit a spell with a cup of tea. When the timer goes off, you’ll know it’s time to eat! You should be smellin’ all those good flavors minglin’ together, oh it’ll make your mouth water.
When you open that lid, be careful of the steam. It can be hot! Now, take a fork and poke at those pork chops. If they fall apart easy, you done good. You can take ‘em out and serve right on a plate, then scoop out that rice. Don’t forget to spoon some of that juice from the pot over the top; it’ll add flavor like you wouldn’t believe!
And there you have it, folks! A hearty meal of crockpot pork chops and rice, just like Grandma used to make, well, maybe not exactly, but close enough! It’s easy, tasty, and you’ll have a happy belly at the end of the day.
Now, some tips:
- Make sure to check your pork chops mid-way to see if they’re cookin’ right.
- If you like it a bit spicy, toss in some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Leftovers? They reheat real nice too, just add a splash of water when you warm ‘em up.
So, go on and give it a try! You won’t regret it!
