Pork & Peppers

It is officially pretty much winter, or is that too soon? I know it is technically fall but the weather is in full force. If it doesn't snow soon then I am going to pitch the worst fit. I am ready to  march through snow, make cocoa, curl up in my fluffy blankets and thick socks, and bust out my crockpot full time. Yes, the crockpot is a magical invention that can be used year round, but it is so much better in the colder months. It is time to make those homey dishes that stick to your bones, and thanks to one of my lovely former co-workers I have the perfect two...three ingredient recipe for you. 

Cook Time: 8 hours  Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 2lb Pork Butt ( I buy mine from a local butcher, but I am sure your favorite grocer has some on hand)
• 1 can (16 oz) Campbells Beef Consume (it'll be hidden in the soups)
• 1/2 Jar Sliced Pepperoncini (you can find these in the pickle aisle)

So yeah that is definitely three ingredients...is it weird I don't count meat as an ingredient? I mean it must be since not everyone eats meat. Hmmm oh well. I recommend if you are feeding a non-stop eating machine to double the recipe and then MAYBE you will have leftovers. I am one person so this recipe feeds me for dinner two nights and lunch the next day. Now this recipe is so easy and so freaking delicious you'll want to make it all the time. In fact I am pulling this one out for dinner tomorrow. It's going to be so cold and after a long day at work I am not even interested in standing at my oven. 

Directions:

• The night before season your pork, I do a little salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic pepper and let it sit over night
• In the morning before you head out the door put all of your ingredients in the crock pot and turn it on low for 8 hours. 

* I only use half the jar of pepperoncini and still get a nice spice off of them. If you really can't handle spice then you should cut out the juice from the peperoncini's and just use the peppers. You will get enough juice from the consumme and cooked pork. 

When you get home your meat will be cooked perfectly and be all ready to serve for dinner, If you should of course let it cook til it is done. Never eat undercooked pork people!

 

Not done, but tempting...still not done!

Finally serve your ridiculously delicious and juicy pork over rice or make a pulled pork sandwich. You can eat it alone and make some sides. Follow your heart man. 

Well I'm gonna finish watching Sleepless in Seattle and avoiding my chair of doom. Enjoy your night/day/life!

Later!
