Monday Meals: Pizza Pork Chops with Orzo

Hello! How was your weekend? Like the past few weekends, we had a good mix of productivity and laziness. The weekend weather felt like a glimpse of summer, for sure!

I was looking through my recipe box, which I don’t do very often, and I stumbled upon a meal I hadn’t made in awhile. It’s so easy, delicious, and a family favorite.

Ingredients:

6 boneless pork chops
Salt and pepper
Chopped onion (about half a small onion…or more if you prefer!)
1 jar Marinara sauce
0rzo pasta
Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the onions over the top of the pork chops.
Pour Marinara sauce over the pork chops and onions.
Cover and cook for 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
When ready to eat, cook Orzo pasta according to package directions.
Place pasta on plate (or in bowl), the scoop out desired amount of pork chops and sauce. (*Note- meat is so tender that it will fall apart.)
Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese (and some chopped fresh basil if you have some)
Enjoy!
