* 4 Pork chops
* 1 Small or medium onion cut into rings
* 1 Teaspoon salt
* 1 Teaspoon pepper
* 1 Can mushroom soup

Or

* 1 cup Chicken soup stock mixed with
* 1 Tablespoon flour whisked together.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Cut onion into rings approximately ½ inch thick, separate the rings.
3. Place the pork chops in a high sided baking dish. Put the onion rings on top of the pork chops.
4. If using the chicken soup stock, pour the flour into cold chicken soup stock and stir thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the flour has completely dissolved.
5. Pour the mushroom soup or the chicken soup stock over the pork chops and onions. Ensure the soup covers all parts of the meat.

Alternatives

For a complete one dish meal add carrots and potatoes to the pork chops before baking.

1. Wash and peel one large carrot.
2. Wash one large potato or 2 small ones.
3. Cut the carrot and potatoes into small chunks, about 1 inch in size.
4. Place in the baking pan with the pork chops and onions before adding the mushroom soup, or the chicken soup stock.

To use a slow cooker follow the directions, but cook for between 6 to 8 hours on low or until the pork chops are tender and falling off the bones.

Hearty Whole Wheat Bread With or without a bread machine.

3 c Whear flour
3/8 c gluten
3 TBL honey
2 tsp salt
4 tsp yeast
1.5 c water

Mix all. Let rise 45 min. Knead. Put in greased & floured loaf pan.Let rise for 45 min until double. Bake @ 375 for 45 min. Or....put all ingredients in a bread machine. Turn on to longest cycle.

Lately I've been making all my bread with 1 cup whole wheat and 3 cups of white with my bread-maker. We love the taste of the little bit of whole wheat.

jasdip.....My mom wouldn't eat the 3 whites.....white rice, white sugar and white flour. Had to find something she could eat when she came over....:0)

I remember Oprah years ago, cut all white out of her diet.
I'd have a hard time doing that.

I am eating more brown rice now, and I figure adding some whole wheat in, is always good. I know hubby wouldn't go for the all wheat. We also eat the whole wheat pasta periodically as well. He doesn't care for it that much.

I omit the onion in this recipe.

Sounds good Patti. Are they the shredded or cubed hashbrowns?
Everytime I see a recipe calling for hashbrowns, I never know which ones they mean. I never buy them.

I don't buy them either, usually. I use the shredded kind. We had several breakfast casseroles at a family gathering and that one was the first to go--but then, it's only the stuff a lot of people order for breakfast.
