This is one of my experiment crock pot ideas that I did a few years ago. I take frozen pork chops put them in on hi for 1 hour then split them apart and spread them across the bottom of the crock pot. I then take 5 slices of thick cut bacon (I prefer maple) put 3 across lengthwise and split the other 2 in half and make a criss cross pattern and cook the rest on low for 5 hours. Seasoning depends on what your in the mood for, tonight I did a little basil and Ms. Dash seasoning. Sometimes I use italian season, experiment with this as you like based on the seasonings you enjoy. Add little salt and pepper and you are ready for some fall off the bone pork chops (literally). Do not add liquid, as the bacon and chops do all of that for you. Since the chops fall apart when removing them from the crockpot I suggest the use of a spatula, a fork will not do the job.
I usually remove the bacon split it up and put that into green beans for a side dish. Tonight I added 1 clove of garlic and 1/2 onion with the green beans for something differents and simmered for 15 minutes in a sauce pan with 1/4 C. water. Serve with either rice or mashed potatos and you have a complete meal.
