  • Total 3 hr 30 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots
  • 4 small red potatoes, cut in half
  • 1 onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 small yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps

  • 1
    In very small bowl, mix salt and garlic-pepper blend. Sprinkle half of seasoning mixture over pork. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in oil about 4 minutes, turning once, just until browned.
  • 2
    Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place pork chops in slow cooker; top with carrots, potatoes and onion.
  • 3
    Cover, cook on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, mix squash, basil, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining half of seasoning mixture; spoon on top of vegetable mixture in slow cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until squash is crisp-tender.

  • Zucchini can be substituted for the yellow squash. Since it is cooked for a short length of time, it will maintain its bright green color.
