Apple Cinnamon Pork Chops – sautéed pork chops topped with soft cinnamon apples. Easy 30 minute dinner!
Pork chops are my go to when it comes to quick and inexpensive dinners.
They cook in minutes and you can usually find a pound of boneless pork chops for around $4.
This is one of my favorite ways to serve pork chops. The chops are quickly sautéed and then the apples get cooked in the same pan. Then you serve the apples and all the yummy juices on top of the pork chops.

I do recommend doubling it if you live with more than a couple people and want leftovers!
…Cheesy Ham Potato Soup – creamy, cheesy soup filled with potatoes, carrots, ham, and peas. It’s a big bowl of comfort!

It’s a quick soup to make and I love that I have almost all the ingredients on hand at all times.

…Blackened Shrimp Alfredo – classic shrimp alfredo with a spicy kick! Quick, easy, and on the table in about 30 minutes.

Slow cooker soup recipes are just the best during fall and winter. There’s nothing better than knowing you’re coming home to a hot bowl of soup after a chilly day.
This vegetarian Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Broccoli Soup takes only about 15 minutes of prep in the morning (if that!) and is always a hit in my house.
Plus, I love that it calls for frozen hash browns and frozen broccoli so it’s really easy to have all the ingredients on hand at all times.
I usually make it with some homemade bread, like these Honey Yeast Rolls to soak up the last little bits of soup.
…Apricot Pork Chops – easy, 4 ingredient pork chops in a sweet and tangy sauce. The whole family is going to love this recipe!
These Apricot Pork Chops are a favorite in my house. My kids are constantly asking for either these or my Asian Beef Noodles.
I love them because they’re only 4 ingredients and take no time to get prepped. They do have to cook for an hour but that’s all hands off time – once you get the quick sauce made and the pork chops in the oven, you don’t have anything else to do!
The pork chops become so tender and the sauce thickens up to coat them. Speaking of the sauce, it’s sweet and tangy and you’re going to want to drizzle it over everything!
…Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken is your new favorite takeout fakeout! Chicken breasts cooked in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce and served over rice!
How much are you loving slow cooker dinners during this weird back to school time?
Some nights the only reason we have dinner on the table is because I took 15 minutes in the morning to toss it all in the slow cooker.
This is a current favorite because the only thing I have to buy for it is chicken breasts. Everything else is already in the fridge or pantry! Plus, it takes me about 10 minutes to get it ready to go.
And did I mention my kids love it?! Just serve this teriyaki chicken with rice and a side of roasted broccoli or green beans and dinner is done!
