Ohhh, this sounds like sheppards pie. My DD loves sheppards pie and I don't have a good receipe.. until now....

That's what it reminds me of. I wish that Chuck liked it more because I would make it more often. I do like the leftovers so that has been a positive. All the recipes that I posted are things that I will eat as leftovers and I'm not one for leftovers as a rule.

FYI, I don't add the cheese if I'm the only one eating it because I prefer it without. If I make it for others, I just move the cheese off and scoop it out without any.

Terry, we're in for the parasailing with Deb!!!! I'm going to the Disney site and cancel our reservations! Woo Hoo

Crock pot YAY!!!!

We do the same with pork chops and round steak but just add cream of mushroom soup and not cheddar cheese soup. It is one of our standby meals with very little work. For pork chops & steak, we brown it before adding it to the crock pot.

I have to admit that the idea of eating cream of anything as real soup sounds disgusting.

4 pork chops
1 tablespoon margarine
1 can cream of mushroom soup
½ cup water

Melt margarine in frying pan using medium heat. Wipe pork chops dry with paper towels and salt and pepper each chop. Brown well in melted margarine. Remove chops to plate and pour off grease from pan. Don’t scrape pan, since you want the brown bits to add flavor to the gravy. Add the water to the pan and stir well. Add mushroom soup and stir. Add Kitchen Bouquet, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onions. Stir. Add the pork chops. Cover and cook on low, so that the gravy is simmering but not boiling hard. Cook for one hour, turning chops once.
