A Favorite Dinner

One of our favorite dinners around here is supposed to be called "Pork in White Wine Sauce".  I got the recipe out of Taste of Home magazine years ago and tweaked it a bit for our family.  Alas, in our overly male home it quickly morphed from "Pork in White Wine Sauce" to ,"Mom, are you making melted meat tonight?"    Really???  Melted Meat?   Sigh...... I am the mother of 6 boys.

I thought I would put it on here since it's so popular at our house. This is for approx. 8 people since some of the kids don't like the sauce part :/

Pork

1  pork roast about 1 3/4 lb. (I get mine in the 4 pack from Costco)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
salt
pepper
1 cup white wine

Put pork roast in Crock Pot and add about an inch of water and the cup of white wine. Sprinkle spices on top and cover, set on high. I normally put one in around 11 AM for dinner at 6 PM.  If you want to put it in frozen put it in first thing in the morning.

Sauce

2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 to 1 cup broth from the Crock Pot
1/2 to 1 cup white wine
at least 2 tsp garlic powder
at least 1 tsp onion powder
very little salt (because of soup)
pepper

either pasta or rice


The ingredients are very flexible in this recipe.  If you need more sauce add more white wine or if you need a lot more, another can of soup. If you like it thick use less liquid, if you like it thinner add more.  The spices are really to taste depending on what you like.  Put all ingredients in sauce pan and lightly whisk. Pull apart the pork and add to sauce pan. Keep tasting until you like it.  If you have time, heat it up and let it simmer at least 1/2 hour for taste.  Then you can tweek it to your desired taste with more spices and/or wine.   Pour over either pasta or rice.

Enjoy "Melted Meat"    sigh.......
