ITALIAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS
An Italian-style version of pork chops was one of the first recipes I tried making in the early years of my marriage. I've changed it over the years to be healthier by reducing added oil and fat, and by adding in some vegetables. It works well served over hot rice. -Traci Hoppes, Spring Valley, California

Steps:
- Wash chops and pat dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat from meat.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil.
- Coat the pork chops in a mixture of flour, salt, garlic and onion powders, and Parmesan cheese. Lightly brown on both sides in the heated oil (YOUR PORKCHOPS SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY COOKED); drain chops on paper towels.
- 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.
- Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the pork chops. Add bay leaves to crock-pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 - 9 hours (HIGH: 4 to 5 hours).
- 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, turn crock-pot to HIGH and arrange the green and yellow pepper rings on top of the pork chops. Cover and continue cooking for the last 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, top with mozzarella cheese. Serve with your favorite hot cooked pasta and a freshly tossed garden salad. Don't forget the warm and crusty Italian bread to dip into the delicious tomato sauce.
NOT YO' MAMA'S ITALIAN STYLE PORK CHOPS
Just a little something I threw together in the crockpot. Goes nicely over cooked noodles or rice, or even better- with a nice loaf of crusty Italian bread to soak up the sauce. Some nice Chianti wine would be excellent with this!

Steps:
- Brown chops in oil in a skillet.
- Place chops in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Cover chops with peppers, onions, and artichoke hearts.
- Stir together remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
- Pour mixture over vegetables in the crockpot.
- Cover crockpot and cook on high for 3-3 1/2 hours on high or on low for 5-8 hours or until pork chops are just cooked through and tender (your time may vary with your appliance so check!).
- Serve with cooked noodles, rice, or crusty Italian bread, if desired (I also sprinkled with Parmesan and red pepper flakes).
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops for best flavor and texture. Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Season the pork chops generously before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat to prevent them from drying out. If the heat is too high, the outside of the chops will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Italian-style pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
