SHOP. BLOG. GATHER.
If you haven’t noticed, I love a crock pot! This has by far been one of my favorite recipe combos! I recently bought my second crock pot. I wanted to be able to cook multiple things and have the whole meal ready when I got home from work! This was my first try and it turned out p e r f e c t!!
This meal was so southern and filling.
First, the pork chops and gravy!
Whisk the seasonings and other gravy ingredients first in the crock pot.
I got a thicker cut pork chop because I let them cook 8 hours {low}. I seasoned them with very little garlic salt. I added them to the pot and after cooking low and slow all day this was what they looked like when I got home. They smelled heavenly.
I love a thicker gravy so I made a quick rue and the gravy thickened up nicely. It didn’t take long at all.
Now for the mashed potatoes. It looked like I was cooking for an army. These were so delicious, homemade and hearty.
The original recipe called for 5 lbs. of potatoes, peeled. I peeled half of them. It was much quicker and I like the texture it gives the mashed potatoes in the end.
Some wat-uh, some butt-uh, salt and pepp-uh!
Mhmm good.
Then it gets really good, more butt-uh and the glorious cream cheese!
Creamy, yummy, mashed potatoes are on my top 5 favorite side dishes. Just sayin’
This was the finished result. There was nothing left on our plates after dinner. It was delicious! This would be great for a week night, big Sunday lunch after church or family dinner! Hope you enjoy!
Props to The Country Cook for the pork chops recipe!
Couldn’t have done it without Life in the Lofthouse and her amazing mashed potatoes recipe!
