Pork Roast and Mashed Potatoes

Pork loin roast (I usually cut them in half)
Peeled Potatoes (1 ½ per person serving)
2 onions
4 peeled cloves of garlic.

Being of German descent, I grew up with a lot of pork roasts. Making this dish comes naturally. It occurred to me that you might not know how to make a pork roast. This is perfect to put in the oven as you walk out the door for church and come home to a great smelling house and fabulous tasting dinner.

Place all ingredients in a 9 X 13 pan. Add water so it comes halfway up the pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.

Cook for four hours at 300 degrees. Remove the potatoes and garlic cloves and blend them in an electric mixer with a stick of butter. Add milk until the mashed potatoes are creamy.

I serve with gravy made from McCormick pork gravy mix. Don’t buy the generic.

Scotch-A-Roos

1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup light corn syrup
6 cups Rice Krispies
1 bag milk chocolate chips
1 bag peanut butter chips

I am not sure why these are called Scotch-A-Roos. I think some people make them with butterscotch chips in the topping. I personaly love peanutbutter.

Mix sugar, peanut butter, and corn syrup in a glass bowl and melt on high for two minutes in the microwave. Mix well and add Rice Krispies. Pour into a greased cake pan. Mix milk chocolate chips and peanut butter chips together and melt in microwave for 2 minutes on high. Pour over rice Krispies mixture. Let cool in the refrigerator and cut into small pieces. Serve at room temperature and you do not need to store these in the refrigerator.
