SLOW COOKER ITALIAN PORK CHOPS WITH POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Combine all Italian Dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well to combine.
• Place pork chops in slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Pour dressing over pork chops. Place potatoes on top of the pork in a single layer, sprinkling with a little more salt if desired.
• Cover and slow cook on low for 9-10 hours, or until pork is tender and falling apart, and the potatoes are cooked all the way through.
• Wash and trim the green beans. Fill a shallow pot or pan (that will fit a steamer basket) with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Add green beans to a steamer basket and place over the boiling water. Cover with a lid and steam until the beans are bright green, about 3-5 minutes.
• As soon as the beans are done, remove them from the pot so they stop cooking. Immediately sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon fine salt and toss well. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
