Saucy Pork Chops

*Taken from the "Fix-it and Forget-it Cookbook"

4 pork chops
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 T. oil
2 - 2 1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 T. hickory flavored liquid smoke
1 cup of onions

Season chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brown both sides in oil in a skillet and drain. Combine ketchup, brown sugar and liquid smoke in a bowl. Place onions in slow cooker. Dip browned chops in sauce mixture and place on onions. Pour remaining sauce over chops. Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours or high 4-5 hours.

I made this with coleslaw and it was yummy. Of course the kids don't like coleslaw, so I gave them carrot sticks instead.

With school and other activities starting up, the slow cooker is a big help.

Happy cooking!
