I went for the easy route and used a jar of spaghetti sauce and added two cans of condensed cream of mushroom in place of the mushrooms. It cooked on high for four hours. The pork chops were falling apart they were so tender! It was excellent! Last minute I cooked rice to mix in to the tender falling apart meat and juicy sauce. Served with sour cream and cheese on top.

My husband and I thought this was delicious. I did add a tablespoon of red wine to the sauce and used a single 15oz can of tomato sauce instead of 2 8oz cans.

While this recipe was not bad, I will not make it again. While the pork chops were very tender, there was not nearly enough seasoning for the sauce and I am not a fan of spicy foods. While the meat was tender, overall it was extremely bland.

Serve with noodles and you have what we refer to pork chop spaghetti. MMMNNNN GOOD!

My family gave these chops all-around thumbs up. I appreciate the ease and convenience of using my slow cooker. I served this with linguine. It would be good with rice too.
