Pork & Kraut

Pork Roast
Large jar/can Kraut

Place roast in a crock pot, pour the kraut over the roast and let cook.

This makes the roast so moist and good!! My kids HATE kraut, but they will eat the meat from this.

I have many great pork recipes on my blog but I'll post this one that I just made again this week. I love it. I used peach preserves this week.

I make this but only use two thick pork chops. I think if I was making 6 chops I'd double the soup/onion/garlic. It's good on rice.

Oven Baked Ham Steak

1 ham steak (slice)
bottled mustard
brown sugar
milk
Put ham steak in a shallow pan with a lid. Spread with a small amount of mustard. Sprinkle top with brown sugar. Put milk in the pan along the sides and slightly over the ham. Cover and put in oven at 350degrees for 1-1 1/2 hours. Be prepared for NO left-overs. The milk makes this fork cutting tender and the mustard and brown sugar give it a great taste.
**I always make 2 steaks now since I tried it the first time. 1 is not enough for us! LOL Also just put it in a pan and cover tightly with tin foil and call it good.

After I clicked submit I remembered I wanted to dig this out of my recipe box
