Slow Cooker Pork Steaks & Veggies

I'm always using the slow cooker, no matter what the season. We seem to be on the go a lot and this is perfect for those days. I also find it perfect for slowly cooking cheaper cuts of meat to perfection. There's nothing like coming home to a supper all ready to eat and the place smelling like you've been cooking all day. Mmmmmm We love pork, whether it be chops, steaks or a roast. This is a perfect recipe for those small pork steaks that are always on sale. Throw everything in the slow cooker and off you go for the day. The measurements I use here depend on how much you want to make at once. Our slow cooker is a 6 Qt so I make a bit more for leftovers. Enjoy! 

Slow Cooker Pork Steak and Veggies

10 baby potatoes, halved

   or 3 medium potatoes, cut in chunks

4-5 medium carrots, cut into 1" pieces

Layer veggies on the bottom of a greased slow cooker and season with pepper, if desired. I desired. Note: I find that, if you precook the veggies (a bit at a time) for about 2 minutes in the microwave before adding them to the slow cooker, they don't take as long to cook. Carrots and potatoes take forever in the slow cooker. 

Cover veggies with 6-8 so small pork steaks. 

In a medium bowl, mix together well: 

1 28g packet of Ranch Salad Dressing mix

2 Tbsp corn starch

1 cup cold water

Blend in: 

1 10z can of Cream of Celery soup

   (I use low sodium whenever possible)

Pour this over the pork and veggies. Season again with pepper, if desired. I don't season with salt as there is plenty of it in this recipe. 

Sprinkle the top of it with 1 tablespoon of dried onion flakes. 

Cook on High for 6 hours or on Low for 8-10hrs. In my eyes, this cannot be overcooked so set it and forget it. 

Enjoy!
