Autumn recipe for crockpot

I had gotten some nice pork chops from Sam's Club this past weekend. They were 1-1/2 inches thick! Nine came in the package, so I repackaged and froze them in packages of three, as there are only 3 of us left at home! Anyway, I found a recipe on a slowcooker YahooGroups site, and revised it to my little family.

Acorn Squash and Pork Chops

3 pork chops, 1-1/2 inch thick
1 medium-size acorn squash
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon grated orange peel (I used the Caribbean Calypso seasoning from The Spice House)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped green onion

Slice acorn squash in half, remove seeds and slice each half into 6
slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Place
3 pork chops on bottom
of 5-quart slow cooker. Arrange the squash around and on top of pork
chops. Combine all other ingredients pour over squash mixture. Cover
and cook on low 5-6 hours or until pork and squash are tender.

Serves 3
