Freezable Meals Day 3: Pork

Today was quick and easy because the recipes didn't require cooking!

But, I started by putting a spiral ham in the oven for tomorrow's cooking.

Asian Shredded Pork :

3 pound pork loin roast (cut off the excess fat if needed)
2 packages of onion soup mix
2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
10 oz sweet and sour sauce
1 cup teriyaki sauce
3 green onions, chopped
2 packages of salted peanuts-crushed
dash of sesame oil (optional I just had it on hand and it smells so good)

Cut the pork loin into thirds, rub each piece with dried onion soup mix.  Place into freezer bags.  In a bowl mix the rest of the ingredients, then place into 3 small baggies.  In a third bag put one pork bag and one sauce bag.  Makes 3 freezable dinners for 2.

To cook:
Thaw in fridge.  Place meat in crockpot with water covering the meat, cook 6 hours on low till meat starts shredding, add sauce.  Serve as a lettuce wrap or with a wheat tortilla wraps.
ETA: I usually take the meat out of the crock pot with a slotted spoon, put into a clean bowl with the sauce.  Otherwise, there is too much liquid. 

Marinated Pork Chops:

1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons begetable oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
6 boneless pork chops

Mix all the ingredients, except the pork, in a bowl.  Place the pork in the bowl one by one covering them in the sauce.  Put the correct serving sizes in freezable bags.  Freeze.

To cook:  thaw then cook in frying pan with a little oil or bake in oven 350 degrees about 30 minutes.

I didn't take pictures because raw meat is yucky!
