I Made This For Dinner Tonight-Marinated Pork Chops
These came out great! Found three 1" thick pork chops at a local grocery store for $2. Here's the marinade:
3 1" pork chops
4t teriyaki sauce
1t brown sugar
1t corn syrup (I didn't have molasses)
Mix together and marinate at least an hour. I'm lazy and let those suckers sit for two days. Then I fried them for 10 minutes on each side in some oil. Healthy? Hecks no! If you want healthy, use cooking spray. These were moist and delicious and here I usually overcook my pork chops.

Crock-Pot Pulled Pork & Easy Coleslaw
I don't know about you, but I am ready for summer! Here's an easy summertime meal that you can easily make in your nice, warm home. For the pulled pork, you need four ingredients:
1 2-3lb. pork roast
1 8oz. can of Coke or beer
1 18oz. bottle of barbecue sauce
whatever bread you have on hand-hamburger buns, rolls, etc
Place the pork roast in the crock-pot and pierce the roast with a fork. Pour the barbecue sauce over the roast, followed by the Coke or beer. Cover with the lid and cook on high for about 3 1/2-4 hours or low for about 6 hours. You'll know it's done when it shreds easily with a fork.

Ham & Cheese Sliders-Super Easy, Super Yummy!
I made these for dinner tonight & they were yummy! I don't post any recipes on here I haven't tried.
What you need:
12 Dinner Rolls
1lb. thin-sliced ham
About 5 slices of cheese cut into 12 squares (I used Swiss)
4T melted butter
1 1/2t spicy mustard
1t Worcestershire
*1t poppy seeds
1t dried minced onions
*If you don't have poppy seeds on hand, just add an extra teaspoon of dried minced onions. At $5.29 for a jar of poppy seeds, it just isn't worth it.
What you do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together butter, mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire and onions. Set aside. Cut the dinner rolls apart, separating tops from bottom. Place dinner roll bottoms in a 9x13 pan. Place half the ham on each roll. Top that with a slice of cheese and then remaining ham, layering it ham, cheese, ham. Place dinner roll tops on and spread butter mixture across the tops. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm. Before serving, put a squeeze of mustard on the sandwich. It gives it a little extra yum.

Easy Enchilada Sauce
It's Wednesday and we are halfway through the week! Why not celebrate by making something delicious and easy for tonight's dinner. Usually on Wednesdays I have some kind of meat or beans left over. You can take shredded/ground turkey, chicken, refried beans & leftover veggies, whatever you have on hand and roll them into flour or corn tortillas. Put this delicious sauce over the top, sprinkle with cheese and other toppings if you have them (I put green onions and olives on mine), and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. It will be nice and bubbly. My enchiladas, regardless of what I fill them with, never make it to the next day.
What you need:
1/4C Vegetable Oil
2T flour
1/4C chili powder
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2C water
1/4t ground cumin
1/4t garlic powder
dash of salt (I use garlic salt)
What you do:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour & chili powder, reducing heat to medium. Cook until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat and stir in tomato sauce, water and seasonings. Return to medium heat stirring constantly until it thickens. This will take about 5 minutes or so. Remove from heat & let rest for five minutes.
