Garlic Balsamic Pork Chops (from OAMM)

We love these pork chops.  I made up 40 of them this week….5 meals worth for my co-op, 3 meals worth for me, 3 meals worth for my mom.

YUM!

Rhonda’s BBQ

This is the BBQ recipe I made, froze, and took on the trip last weekend.  Everyone enjoyed it.  It is super easy because it uses the slow cooker!  I doubled it & froze some for our family to have later.  Why not?  It was just as easy to make 2 batches as it was to make one.

ENJOY!

Beef & Pork BBQ
(16 servings)

1 1/2 lbs. stewing meat-cubed
1 1/2 lbs. pork
2 cups onions-chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
3 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
6 oz. tomato paste
pepper blend seasoning
onion salt

-In a large slow cooker, combine all ingredients.  Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.  Shred with fork to break up pieces.  Serve on buns.
**May use all pork or all beef.  Pork may cook faster than the beef, so start the beef ahead of time, then add the pork. 

To Freeze: Allow BBQ to cool completely.  Spoon into freezer bags. 

 To Serve: Thaw overnight in fridge.  Reheat on stove top.
