Maybe they should consider changing their product name to crack pot.

When I was pregnant, I had an aversion to pork. The same 3 chops stared at me from the freezer every time I waddled over to it. We ate them eventually and they were dry and boring. Know how I know that? Because I am incapable of cooking tasty pork sans crock pot. Dry and boring. Every single time. Removing pork from our meal plan was no big deal. We didn't miss it at all. Now, we can't get enough of it and it's one of my favorite things to crock.

"Apricot Glazed Pork Roast" (6 quart pot)

~2 lbs pork roast
~1 jar apricot preserves
~1 can chicken broth
~1 onion, chopped
~2 T Gulden's mustard

Place roast in crock pot.
Mix all other ingredients in medium bowl. Pour over roast.
Cover and cook on low for 9 hours.

8 servings.

Is it me, or does this roast look like a skull?

This was the first roast I've done that didn't have veggies in it, so I decided to use my smaller crock for a side dish today. Another creamy vegetable side dish. Because I need to get rid of some of the cans of creamy soup in my pantry... 

Asparagus and Cheese aka "Crack Asparagus" (3.5 quart pot)

~1 cup stuffing mix (I used what was left of the savory mix from the artery clogging 'taters. The original recipe called for 2 cups of crushed saltines.)
~1 can cream of asparagus soup
~1 can cream of chicken soup
~1/2 cup slivered almonds
~4 oz american cheese, cubed
~1 egg
~a "bunch" of asparagus, trimmed

Combine stuffing mix, soups, almonds, cheese, and egg in large bowl. Stir well and pour into crock pot.
Add asparagus and stir to coat.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or until asparagus is tender.

6  servings.

The pork was yummy. My other half said, "This is how pork is supposed to taste." The asparagus was tasty, too, but I think it could have used the extra cup of crushed crackers/stuffing mix that was in the original recipe. I just didn't have enough left, so it ended up being super soupy. It's a perfect recipe if you're looking for a super yummy and unhealthy way to eat asparagus. Or maybe it'll get someone who "doesn't like asparagus" to start liking asparagus as the crack spinach did for my family.
