when i make pork chops i buy the family pack so i brown a few on booth sides and freeze for hawaiiian pork chops. then when i need them i put them in a pan with pineapple, green peppers sliced up, 1/4 c. apple vinagar,1/2 c. ketchup, 1 tbsp soy or teriyaki sauce,3 tbsp brown sugar cook on 325 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. or put it all in crock pot for 4-6 hours. then i go back to sewing or whatever. 30 min before serving put the rice in the rice cooker and let it go. sometime will call dh to bring home some rice from china king takeout on his way home. good and easy.
