Pizza Pork Chops and Tortellini Soup

Farmwife and my Cleanin' Cuz '75 asked for these recipes days ago, so here there are.

Pizza Pork Chops

pork chops
spaghetti sauce
sliced onions
sliced green peppers
sliced mushrooms
fresh garlic to taste

Put it all in a crock-pot in the morning on low. By dinner time the pork chops are falling apart delicious. I serve with some type of pasta, mozzarella cheese melted on top, garlic bread, and salad. This is a house favorite!!


Tortellini Soup

1 roll of breakfast sausage or
2 1/2 cups or so shredded chicken
1 large can chicken broth or enough to fill your pot
1 bag shredded carrots
4 stalks celery chopped
1 clove of garlic (or more if you want it)
1 small or 1/2 large chopped onion
1 T. dried parsley
1 bag frozen tortillini

If your using sausage, brown it, drain it, set it aside. If using chicken, cook it, shred it, set it aside. Pour chicken broth in soup pot. Add carrots, celery, onions, parsley, and garlic. Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are cooked, but not mushey. Add meat and tortellini. Follow directions on tortellini package for how to cook. The kind I use says not to boil, just simmer for five minutes or so. This is really good with parmasean (tried 3 ways to sp., who knows) cheese sprinkled on top and good bakery bread with REAL butter spread on it. YUM!!
It's also good with mushrooms in it if you use chicken!!

Easy Apple Crisp

2 cans apple pie filling
1 box spice cake mix
2 sticks butter

Spread apple pie filling in 9X13 dish. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over apples. Slice butter into thin slices and lay each square side by side all over the top of the cake mix. Bake at 350 for ..... well I don't remember, just set your timer for 20 minutes and then check it every 5 minutes or so after that until it looks slightly crisp but not burnt! LOL!!

I was wanting something different for the teens last Sunday night and came up with this version of the old faithful "dump cake" with the cherries, pineapple, and yellow cake mix. It turned out delicious and we served it with vanilla ice cream!! Yum-O!
