I was really stuck for dinner tonight. Our local grocery is going out of
business. The only edible-looking meat was a package of 6 cheap-cut pork
chops. Not wanting to do a 20 mile round trip to Publix, I bought them.
Since the store didn't have dish-soap ( believe that!) I went to the
Dollar store. That is the grand total of shopping in Polk City, FL!!

Anyway, I found a 7 oz can of La Costena Chipotle peppers in Adobo
sauce. Net carbs, 6 in the can.

Soooo I invented. In a dutch oven I put one onion in thick slices. The
equivalent of 2-3 cloves of garlic (too lazy to use the real thing, so
buy them crushed). I browned the chops on each side, and put them in the
dutch oven. Opened the can of peppers and sauce and dumped it on top. It
looked a bit low on liquid, so *forced* myself to open a bottle of Mich
Ultra amber beer. Put 1/3 cup in pot and drank the rest.

I sat it in the oven at 375, then 325, for a couple of hours. Served it
with cauliflower in cheese sauce, some Texas beans ( Hubby can handle
about 1/4-1/3 cup without spiking). Heated a couple of low-carb
tortillas............and it was great. Hot, spicy and relatively
low-carb. (BTW, he also got shrimp cocktail, with Saturday's left-over
steamed shrimp.)

Just an idea of how one can create something good when under pressure. I
think the rest of the meat and sauce will turn into another meal!! Maybe
soupy!
