Pork Chops and Potatoes

I made these two recipes last week for the two of us on Sunday and divided it to last for Jacob's lunch for about 3 days after.

Pork Chops:

6 boneless pork chops (I had three and cut them in 1/2)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

2 cloves garlic crushed

salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional) 

1 teaspoon of cornstarch (optional if you like it saucy)

Put pork chops in a crock pot. Stir everything else except cornstarch and pour over the meat. Heat on low 4-5 hours and add cornstarch premixed with some water if you want a thicker sauce when done.

Bay Potato Casserole 

8 medium potatoes cook until almost done with bay leaf ( which means drop potatoes and one bay leaf in enough water to cover potatoes and cook, I just have bay leaf pieces in the spice rack so I sprinkled the top of the pot with them) 

When they are cooked, peel skins and cube very small  

Combine  :  

1  can cream mushroom soup                     

1 cup onion chopped                     

3/4 cup sour cream or butter milk                     

3/4 cup mayonnaise   

Pour over potatoes and mix well. Sprinkle 1 cup grated cheddar cheese over the casserole. Bake at 350 degree for 20-30 minutes.

And we sided the meals with corn muffins and steamed broccoli with Velveeta melted on top.
