Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

**Actual Title**
**Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions**

The full title wouldn’t fit in the space I have allotted for my Titles.

Nothing genius here folks.

Chicken in a a slow cooker covered in BBQ sauce. The caramelized onions are what put this simple sandwich over the top.

I had every intention in making my own BBQ sauce for this dinner. But laziness got the best of me.

But then I got to thinking….does my reader, my loyal Hungry Housewife reader have time to make their own BBQ sauce? For the majority of you, probably not. So I am keeping it real for you, no fancy homemade BBQ sauce this time. BBQ sauce is actually really easy to make, but you usually have to make it ahead of time and that requires planning.

I urge you to make this SIMPLE SIMPLE dinner. As you can see there is NOTHING to it.
And it tastes just like your favorite BBQ restaurant.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops

Ohhhh how I love my slow cooker. I have a mac daddy All-Clad. It’s pretty and it shines. I could not live without it. I have a roast in it as we speak!
Let me tell you about these bad ass little pork chops. They are so delicious and packed with flavor. They literally fall apart. BONUS- takes less than 5 minutes to prep.
We all know kids are picky, right? Well my kids were begging for 2nd and thirds( I am NOT exaggerating).The night I made them, I emailed the recipe to my BFF Bobbi and she was shocked I used canned soup. I think canned soup totally has its place in the culinary world. A white trash culinary world it may be, but I am not predigest. I never said I WASNT white trash. Pftt, you should see my roots right now.

SLOW COOKER PORK CHOPS
Printer Friendly Version

4 thick cut pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup with herbs (or without herbs)
1 package Hidden Valley Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock
Pepper

In a medium bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, dry ranch mix, garlic, wine and chicken stock. Set aside.
Sprinkle pork chops with pepper (NO SALT..there is enough salt in the other ingredients)
Place the pork chops in the slow cooker.
Pour the soup mix over the pork chops.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 7 hours.

What’s in the Crock Pot?

Isn’t it funny how STRONG the Crock Pot “Brand” is. It seems like all slow cookers are lumped into the name “Crock Pot”. My first slow cooker was a Crock Pot. I had it for many years and it served me well! A few month ago the ceramic liner got a crack in it, so I had to toss it!
I was totally fine with my loss..because that meant I could get a new shiny toy! Waho!!!!
I decided on the All-Clad 6 1/2 Qt. slow cooker! Its bad ass!!! I love shiny stuff! Especially diamonds! What??Did I say diamonds..husband are you reading this??? Hint Hint!!!
Anyhooooo…I love to cook in my slow cooker. Cant get much simpler than throwing all the junk in there in the morning and it being done in 8 hours without me having to do any work!!! Love it.

I decided on some BBQ shredded Beef with Whole Grain Buns!
Yum!
I made these over the weekend. Too bad Jenny at the Picky Palate didn’t post her BBQ sauce recipe until today, cause I would have loved to have tried it! It looks soooo much better than the Bottled junk!

Here’s what you do..

3 1/2 lb organic chuck Roast
1 large bottle of BBQ sauce (or if your fancy..make your own)
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt
Pepper
A gulg of vinegar

Rub the meat with the garlic powder, onion powder,salt and pepper. But the meat into the crock pot and cover it with the BBQ sauce and dump the vinegar in. SET IT AND FORGET IT!!
Set it on high for 7 hours.
Take the meat out after hour 7.
Shred it and get rid of all the fatty stuff! (Yucky)
Put it back into the crock pot and cook it on low for another hour!!
Enjoy

P.s…Sorry to my vegetarian readers..I always feel bad when I put up a meat post! I don’t want to gross anyone out.

Have you seen these Slow Cooker Liners???? OMG.. I will never cook anything in my slow cooker without them!! LOVE THEM! No cleaning of your Slow Cooker Required! NICE!!!
