1
15 ounce can Mexican-style or Tex-Mex-style chili beans
-
1 1/4
cups bottled salsa

1
cup fresh* or frozen whole kernel corn

Trim excess fat from chops. Place chops in the bottom of a 3-1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker. Add chili beans and salsa. Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2-1/2 hours or low-heat setting for 5 hours. When that step is complete, turn to high-heat setting, if necessary. Stir in corn. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer on high-heat setting. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Makes 6 servings.
From the Test Kitchen
- Note *2 medium ears of fresh corn equal about 1 cup of whole kernel corn.
- Variation For all-day cooking:Substitute 8 boneless pork chops for the 6 rib chops. (When cooked this long, chops with bone may leave bony fragments in the cooked mixture.) Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 9-1/2 hours. Turn to high-heat setting Stir in corn. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer. Serve as above.

This recipe is just okay. Thought it would be thicker. Used boneless chops that were almost 2 inches thick. Meat fell apart, but the sauce was very thin and did not seem to flavor meat at all.
