What's for Dinner, Sat., Oct. 25, 2025

10. It was two "firsts" for me:

Brining pork chops (water, salt, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar) overnight for 12 hours,
and then
Inaugurating my new (first) slow cooker. I put in a thin-sliced yellow onion, a couple of cups of sliced brown mushrooms. Seared the chops (rubbed with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic power), deglazed the pan with beef broth and red wine, which were added to the above along with a can of condensed cream o mushroom soup.
After six hours on low, the meat fell off the bones. Served with mashed potatoes. It was so delicious I forgot to prepare the asparagus I’d bought!
Yum!
