• Place the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the bottom of your crock-pot; add the chops by laying them on top.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce, whole tomatoes, wine or sherry, lemon juice, salt and spices (except the bay leaves). Give a good stir.

• Remove to a platter. Wipe out excess oil and fat with a paper towel.
• Add rest of ingredients and stir to mix.
• Add chops and top each (covering completely)with most of the sauce, leaving some on the bottom underneath each chop.
• Place on tight-fitting lid, and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer for about 1 hour on LOW heat til very tender, stirring sauce ocaisionally so it doesn't burn or stick. (*I didn't need to turn these, but did always make sure they were totally covered with the sauce to keep them moist.).
• Serve over or with mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
• Note: I made 3 pork chops, and there was plenty of gravy to go with our mashed potatoes. Served them also with green beans, bread and butter and a nice salad! :).
• *If making 4 chops, there might not be enough gravy to top mashed potatoes or noodles, etc., so plan ahead and either make more sauce or top what you are serving it with, with a little butter.

GRAMMIE'S ITALIAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Trim the fat off the pork chops, rinse well and pat dry . Cut the pork chops in half or however you need so you can fit them in your pot.
• 2. In a large pot, mix spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, garlic, parsley, basil and spices. If sauce is very thick add a water a few tablespoons at a time until it reaches a slightly thin consistency. Place pork chops into the sauce so they are covered. Bring to a simmer on medium-low heat then turn down to low heat. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Gently stir occasionally, making sure the pork chops stay covered.
• 3. Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms and canned tomatoes and cook another 1 1/2 to 2 hours, gently stirring. Pork will slowly cook and become very tender. This dish is done when it can be easily separated with a fork.
• 4. Using a fork and spoon (I use a large salad fork and wooden stirring spoon) separate the pork so it is in bite size and smaller pieces. Serve hot over pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top.
• 5. If you want to do this in the crockpot, add 1 cup of water to the sauce and double the cook times. Cook on low heat.
