Oh My Gosh! This was great! I only had 4 chops and a 15 oz. can of tomato sauce, which I think you need, no green pepper, used a yellow one. Even my picky husband ask me to make this again..soon! Definitely use the cornstarch to thicken the sauce and serve over the chops.

I was wary of this recipe at the start and told my husband that I had a back-up plan meal, just in case... Was not even REMOTELY necessary, my husband LOVED it!!! Took one bite, looked at me and said, "This is DEFINITELY a keeper." I did make a few minor changes. I used 3 large, 1/2" thick, bone-in chops (browned as directed). I also added 3 cloves of pressed garlic (minced would also work) in addition to the onion and bell-pepper mix. Instead of tomato sauce, I used a 14.5oz can of no-salt added diced tomatoes and about 15oz of canned crushed tomato, and then doubled the sugar, vinegar, & Worcestershire sauce. I generally omit the salt from a recipe, but in this case I did grind a little fresh rock-salt and fresh black-pepper corns over the top of the pork chops after browning them. I also placed 3 bay leaves in the sauce over each pork chop. I cooked it on high for 3hrs and placed it over rice (did not use the cornstarch). It turned out REMARKABLY juicy with a wonderful flavor!!!!
Good flavor the meat fell apart but was a little dry. I think I will cut the cook time the next time I have this. The sauce is very tasty and a perfect match with pork.
I threw in one tomato that needed to be used up, and only used three big thick chops, but kept the sauce ingredients the same. Did add in some shakes of dried parsley and ground pepper, minced garlic. The chops were done in six hours, and the sauce was so delicious, great served over a bed of rice to soak up the great sauce.
For so few ingredients this was surprisingly good! Very quick and easy to make. I made the recipe as is but did shorten the cooking time to around 5 hours which was plenty. I find pork dries out quickly in the crockpot.
This recipe was great! Will definitely have to make again. I also have made a few adjustments as well. First off instead of brown sugar I added white since I don't like it too too sweet. Next I didn't have vinegar, so I added one of my favorite dressings, which is raspberry vinaigrette. Gave a nice flavor to the sauce. I added sweet peppers since my wife hates bell pepper when it's cooked but loves it raw. Go figure right? And also I added some minced garlic. Can't go wrong with garlic!!!! And I cooked it on low for 5 hours, anything longer makes it dry out. And instead of putting it on a bed of rice, I put ours on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes and it was terrific!!!
This was a fantastic recipe. The sauce is wonderful. I added about a quarter cup of Heinz Chili Sauce to the mix and it gave it the kick it needed. I didn't add cornstarch, but rather just left the sauce as is. It was wonderful to spoon over rice. I reserved all the leftover sauce and peppers and used it the next day over bratwurst. Excellent! Thanks!
Delicious. After browning the chops I sautéed garlic then deglazed the pan with wine and added it to the slow cooker. I used bone in chops and cooked for about five hours.
My girlfriend (who doesn't really like meat) actually cleaned her plate for once! It was great and I followed the recipe EXACTLY because I believe you always should at first, but will make changes next time. It was a little too sweet, so I'll cut the brown sugar in half. Also, my girlfriend and I agreed it needs some spice so maybe a fire roasted jalapeño or some crushed red pepper flakes. I served it over white rice and my sauce was VERY thin, even after adding corn starch to 1/4 cup of the sauce then adding back so next time I'll leave the lid askew for the last 30 minutes or more. But for the first go it was great, this will be a regular in my dinner rotation.
This was an awesome recipe, so easy and made the best pork chops I've ever had. So easy and lots of flavor. We substituted ketchup for the tomato sauce for a little extra flavor. Yum, yum, yum!!!
My daughter came home from school and said our house smelled like a Mexican restaurant which gave me the idea of making this fajita style so I heated up some flour tortillas and layered it with rice, since I had already made it, and then topped it with the pork mixture. I used the exact recipe, except I followed the advice of a previous reviewer and cut my cooking time down to five hours on low. Meat was tender and juicy. However, next time I make this, I might add something to give it a little kick.
My 6 and 3 year old loved it!! So did my hubby and I. I used a sweet onion and sweet peppers... I also slow cooked for 5 1/2 hours. Any longer would have been too long.
This is a family favorite in our house. I don't even thicken the sauce. Great flavor and very tender pork chops! I've used bone in chops but I'm trying the boneless for tonights dinner. I usually double this recipe, but learned the hard way not to double the salt!
The sauce is fantastic! I would not recommend cooking for over 5 hours unless you start frozen. I cooked it for right at six and I found the porkchops to be too done for me. Following the suggestions of others, I used 1 can of tomato sauce and about a half cup of ketchup to make extra sauce. I used 1 red bell pepper because I don't care for green. Absolutely thicken the sauce to go over rice, it exceeded my expectations! Delicious!
Great basic recipe. With a few tweaks that I made up as I went along, it earned nothing but a bunch of "mmmmmms" from hubby. I had two 3/4 inch or so bone in chops and 2 bone in pork loin "steaks", also about 3/4" thick. Browned all in a little oil. Then had a half of a red bell pepper and half of a pablano pepper that needed to be used. Sliced those with the onion and gave them a quick saute in the pan that I used to brown the meat. I just knew that 8 oz of tomato sauce would be nowhere near enough, so I used a 15 oz can and doubled the rest of the sauce ingredients. Put the veggies on top of the meat in the crock pot and poured sauce over. Added fairly generous sprinkling of course ground black pepper over the top. As other reviewers noted that the pork was dry, I cooked on high for about 2 hours, then on low about another hour. Set to "keep warm" for about an hour before serving. I was hesitant about the peppers because we generally do not care for cooked peppers of any type, but these came out fabulously sweet. Next time will use 2 onions and a whole red pepper and whole pablano. Will probably add a little more vinegar too. Served hubby's with mashed potatoes and mine with white rice because that's just how we roll! Really, really good! Thank you for the recipe.
Didn't change a thing in the recipe. The sauce was, surprisingly, saucy. But the pork ended up dry after 5:15, and I cut the chops extra thick. Overall, I found it to be a bit more blah than so many other slow-cooker recipes. Very simple recipe, though, so I'll find a way to tweak it before discarding it.
We liked this recipe. It was easy to prepare and tasted good.
I love the combination of vegetables and I used butterfly pork chops and they turned out very tender.
I followed this recipe pretty closely. I had two large pork chops, so I made the full amount of sauce, cutting back on the brown sugar to about 3 T. Rather than the green pepper I used a mix of red, orange and yellow peppers. In my slow cooker, these were done in five hours. I liked the consistency of the sauce so I opted not to use the cornstarch. These were quite good and a snap to throw together.
This is at least the third time I made this recipe. I really dislike cooking, so I am always thrilled to find an easy and delicious crock pot meal to cook. Today I used red and yellow peppers because I was out of green. I also added a splash of red wine to the sauce for a bit more liquid. You could add a bit of water if you like more sauce. Maybe I will try skipping browning the pork next time. That step is my only complaint and I am not sure it makes a huge difference to the end result.
This dish was delish! I will add more peppers and onion next time. I also served over noodles instead of rice... will definitely make again!
This was really good. My family and I really enjoyed this. I did not bothering browning the chops before hand and they were nice, tender and flavorful just the same. I did double the sauce and I'm glad I did because there was plenty to spoon over the rice I served with it. Easy and throw together and quite tasty.
My family loves this recipe! It is now my go to meal when I am taking a meal to a family in need. I double the sauce, use country style ribs and omit the cornstarch, peppers and added salt. I also adjust the Worcestershire sauce to taste. The meat is so tender it is simple delicious and so easy to make!
This is an awesome recipe. I made it over spaghetti noodles so it was kind of a "pork chop cacciotore"...Only difference to the recipe is that I chopped up a tomato and added 8 oz of V8 juice. My family loved it, my 9 year old son wolfed down a big plate and then asked for seconds. It only takes 10 minutes to brown the chops and prepare the sauce and then I put in slow cooker on low for 6 hours. Then 10 minutes to do up the noodles and thats it. Incredibly easy dish but so tasty. My wife said it was good enough to serve to guests. Thanks S Rodriguez for posting the recipe!
This is delicious! Great sauce...added roasted red peppers! Will make more servings next time!
Yummy yummy yummy and delicious! Pork chops were tender but not too hearty like most crock pot meals. Even my picky brother loved it! Definitely will make this again in the future.
A 'real meal' with a minimum of ingredients. Used thick cut pork chops so they weren't dry but I didn't bother browning first. 6 chops cooked under 6 hours. Served over wild rice.
I made this tonight and my family and I loved it!! I'll make this again!
This was fantastic! I tweaked with a little Chili Sauce added to the sauce, and some chopped cooked bacon. I cooked on low for 2 hours then on Med. for 4 hours. (I used my instant pot slow cooker) I sprinkled pork chops with a little Chili Lime spice after cooking. My husband LOVED IT! Only bad thing is no left overs...He ate it all!
I made no changes and will definitely make this again. Loved the flavor. I served this over white rice and next time will serve it over garlic mashed potatoes as another reviewer did. I cooked 5 thick boneless chops in my slow cooker for 8 hours and they were very tender and succulent. The next time I will use only 1 T cornstarch as I found the sauce too thick.
This dish was fantastic! Easy, so tasty and a great company dish.
Awesome pork chops and sauce. i didn't have tomato sauce, so I substituted puree and doubled the liquid. Total Hit in my house! Will make again.
Oh my God this is one of the best pork chops we ever had. This is a must this recipe that will be added to my book I highly recommend giving this a try it will be one of your favorites.
Used thin chops, which are usually tough, but they we're fall-apart tender in this recipe. We thought the sauce could use a flavor boost for our tastes, but this is a great base recipe that will hold up to a variety of alternate seasoning options. I did not care for the peppers in this and would place those in last, on top, in future. Thanks for sharing, I'll make this again!
Everyone loved it. Very tasty. I did the same as another reviewer and added a can of diced tomatoes and then doubled all but the peppers and onion.
This turned out to be a very tasty, simple dish. However, I did (1) season the chops before browning with salt, pepper and garlic powder; (2) scraped the browned bits into the slow cooker with chicken broth; (3) doubled the onion and (4) I cut the time in the slow cooker to 5 hours so that they wouldn't dry out. Served with rice and green beans and a salad and it was a HIT!
So good! I used the really thick boneless pork chops from Costco, and only cooked for 5 hours on low. Jazzed it up with a bit of garlic, garlic salt, and a bit of Siracha to add some heat, and a bit of bbq sauce to add to the zing. Also two yellow onions and 1/2 a red, a bit of celery, and some sliced apple. Used yellow bell peppers, not green. Served it over Farro, which is a heartier grain than rice. Yummy!
I loved this recipe. It smells wonderful while cooking and the sauce is great. The pork chops were very dry, however. I followed it exactly. I don't know.....cook for less time?
I used our home made tomato sauce, cut the brown sugar to 1/8, cut the salt to 1 tsp and added 1 tbl spoon of minced garlic and 1 tbl spoon sweet chili sauce. I will make again and cut the cooking time to 5-6 hrs. I will also use my larger slow cooker so that the sauce covers the four chops . These were bone in and thick as well as large. I also added the chopped onion to the sauce and let it sit for an hour before using to have the spices blend. The top chops in the cooker were slightly dry.
This dish was disappointing. The meat did not have much taste. Overall, it left a lot to be desired. I would not make it again.
I had four center cut boneless pork chops that I was looking to cook with a new recipe. Four hours on low was just enough cook time. Will try this one again.
My family loved, even the husband who is a pizza and hamburger only kind of guy. I did use bone in pork chops since it's cheaper and instead of 2 green bell peppers I used a green and a red. I wouldn't cook it as long as recommended, it was a little dry but it did fall apart and all the meat had came off the bones!!
easy peasy and tasted good. I added more worchestre sauce , had mashed potatoes which was great with sauce (thickened with ocen starch)
Wanted to try something different for my pork chops and the kids loved it!!!!
Absolutely wonderful! I did use ketchup instead of the tomato sauce and the consistency didn't require me to thicken. I did cheat by using frozen red, green, and yellow peppers. This is a definite keeper.
These are a dinner favorite! The only change is I also add a can of Italian style diced tomatoes - and add the other ingredients to it - along with the tomato sauce as suggested. I don't even brown the chops - I just throw it all in a crockpot when I get home and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours - by the time we get home from the gym it is perfect! Sere it over Jasmine rice and enjoy! I have cooked all day on low as well - and it's just as good!
No need for any changes and I definitely will make it again. Even my mother in law, who is the most pickiest person I know, said it was f****** good
Extremely tasty. The pork wasn't as tender as I would have liked, but the whole family loved it. Definitely a keeper!
The pork chops were tender and the flavor was wonderful. With some baked sweet potatoes and a salad we had a complete and very tasty meal!
Made this exactly as directed except only cooked for 4 hours and let it sit on warm for about 45 minutes. The pork chops were dry and overdone and the sauce tasted like tomato soup. Not good. We tossed the leftovers out even though I was hoping to warm up for lunch. Won't be repeating this one.
Followed the recipe exactly. We enjoyed it and it makes plenty of delicious sauce . Would definitely make it again.
I added a additional 8oz tomato sauce. Was disappointed with results. Pork was still very dry and not tender. I did not care for taste of sauce. Will not make again
Excellent recipe - here are the modifications I made: 1. Cut my own pork chop boneless 3/4" to 1" thick medallions from a 1 1/2 lb. pork loin 2. Saute each side of meat for about 90 seconds/2 minutes until sealed. 3. Add one Anaheim Chili Pepper then grill all three peppers (blacken the skin all around). Let them cool, then peel and slice the peppers (removing the skin and seeds enhances the flavor & texture). 4. Substitute one 32 oz jar of mild salsa for the tomato sauce. Now a saucy and slightly spicy colorful dish to serve with rice or, as we do, with garlic mashed potatoes.
Turned out excellent. We are full time RVer's and it worked great in the slow cooker! Served over rice.
My picky eater husband loved it. Easy to make, ingredients are usually on hand. I only made 2 chops so I halved the amounts. Added 4 mushrooms that I wanted to use & a slice of cooked bacon I had in the refrigerator. I didn’t measure the olive oil & used a generous amount to brown the chops which I also put in the pot. Used sweet peppers I had on hand instead of the green, &I did add the cornstarch. After 5.5 hours it was tended enough to cut with a fork, not at all dry. Served over white rice with green peas. Delicious. Will definitely make it again!
This was easy to make and the whole family was able to eat it ,including my sister who is gluten free and my daughter who can't eat dairy .
I adjusted this recipe to my taste, I did not have tomato sauce so I boiled 2 tomato's and peeled them, I used the magic bullet , only 1 tomato needed, I added yellow pepper and sliced onions, I did not use cornstarch, I used a slotted spoon to remove the veggies. I cooked it covered until the pork chops fell apart, then I took off the cover and cooked another 15 min to thicken it up. It is a great recipe!
Hubby and I loved this. The pork chops feel apart but I served it over rice and it was really delicious!!!!
I used thick chops and doubled the sauce. I als added the cream of tarter at the beginning. Cooked on low for 5 hrs. Amazing dish !
I made it but left off the brown sugar in an attempt to avoid sugar. It was delicious! However, there was not enough liquid in the crock pot for 6 hours of cooking so I refilled the 8 oz can with water and added to the crock pot. It covered the meat and vegetables and it turned out moist and delicious. Make sure you stir the pork so that there is sauce on the bottom of the crock pot and the pork is not just sitting on the bottom where it will burn.
Both of us liked this and cleaned our plates. The pork chops were fork tender. I will absolutely make this again. I followed the recipe without any deviation and would recommend that anyone else planning to try this dish do the same. Tweak if next time if you must. I don't believe that I will make any changes. It's good just the way it's posted. I served mine over rice and my husband chose homemade noodles. So it's a flexibl dish. Mashed potatoes would have been a tasty choice as well.
Delicious and EASY in my Instant Pot. Used 4lb of picnic ribs, 15 oz can of tomato sauce, about 8 oz of pasta sauce, dried minced garlic (I admit I was too lazy to mince garlic) and 1/4c brown sugar. Browned pork then dumped the rest, including onions and peppers, and cooked on Hi for 15" and did a fast release. It was perfect!
I used 4 large bone-in chops. I left out the green pepper. It was in the crock pot 4 1/2 hours on low, which was too long. The pork was overcooked and dry. The sauce was delicious on the pork and on mashed potatoes. I will make it again and only cook it about 3 hours.
Best Pork Chop I have had and it was really easy. I didn't have tomato sauce or I used whole tomatoes and chopped them up. Turned out great.
Very easy and delicious recipe! Tender, juicy and full of flavor! I will be making it again that's for certain!
Delish! I had 6 bone-in chops (3.3 lb total), so doubled the sauce ingredients, and added some garlic. Next time I will use half the amount of brown sugar, but aside from that, I wouldn't change a thing!! Oh, and do add the extra step to thicken the sauce with cornstarch. Great recipe -- thanks for sharing.
This was so incredibly good! My husband asked me to make again the next day! I didn't change a thing in the recipe other than I didn't use any green peppers (they don't like me) yellow, orange, and red. I've already made this again 2 times.
soooo delish! ive made this several times for my fam and its always a hit. side note, i have been using can of stewed tomatoes, no tom sauce
I believe my old apple cider vinegar & excess of lemon rines tainted my dish, but i acquired a taste for it. I went overboard trying to give it a spicy kick. Too many peppers & onions. I screwed with it too much.
I didn't have tomato sauce, so used a can of diced tomatoes Was a little liquidy, but verry good! Will put more cornstarch in next time to thicken.
Really easy and my boyfriend loved it. Made it with three pork chops in my smaller 3 quart crock pot. I doubled the sauce recipe so that everything would be covered in sauce so the chops wouldn't dry out and it worked out great. I used a whole can (15 oz) of tomato sauce, doubled the brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar and salt and it was great. Also added a yellow pepper and used half an onion (although a whole one would have been better, just forgot). All in all, we both loved it and it's now going on the regular dinner list! We thought we're gonna try it with white rice and chicken thighs. We tried with garlic mashed potatoes and it really wasn't a great combo... regardless, we loved it! Thank you!
Didn't have tomato sauce so I subbed tomato pesto. Yummy! Even my hubby, who isn't a pork chop fan, liked it.
Pretty good recipe. I thought it was a little too sweet with the 1/4 cup brown sugar and the sauce was a little too thick. It's similar to sweet and sour pork without the breading. My daughter, however, would certainly give it 4 stars. I'll make it again, cutting back a bit on the sugar and the cornstarch.
I followed recipe exactly as written which I always do first time out. I had very thick boneless chops. After 6 hours they were close to being over cooked and were close to falling apart. Sauce was thin so I added the 2 tbsp corn starch which slightly thickened the sauce but sauce was still thin. I served them with mashed potato which was a good choice. I may make this again because it was a quick easy meal but I was not wowed by it. Hubs liked it but then again hubs loves to eat.
Oh my gosh, this recipe is so good!! I doubled the amount of sauce along with the amount of peppers and onions. Used 6 pork chops with the bone in. Fabulous recipe and easy! Will be making it again! Thanks!
I did not put the pepper in and think I should have for extra flavor, hubby liked it.
This was very good. Pork chops were very moist. .and had a great taste. Followed recipe as written except ommitted the pepper
My husband really liked this recipe. The chops were "fall-apart tender" and the sauce was delicious! I cooked it on low for 5 hours and it came out perfect! I made this recipe with regular pork chops (with bone); next time I'll try it with boneless chops!
This was totally delicious and just slightly sweet. I substituted V-8 Juice (2 small 5oz low salt cans) as I did not have any tomato juice handy and I used a mix of red, green and yellow bell peppers (Trader Joe's frozen bell pepper trio - I keep em in the freezer for just such occasions). *I made the side of rice with more V-8 juice and just a little water with a pinch of salt. It was a great compliment to the sauce. For sure will be making again, oh yes indeed!
Just like the stars indicate, I thought it was just OK. I would not make it again. For myself, the sauce was just too 'tomato-y' tasting, kind of overpowering the whole dish. Mmehh
The pork chops were tender. The sauce was okay. By no means would I bother thickening it in the future as I have no idea what to put it on other than the pork chops themselves. THe juices would have been fine to spoon over the meat. I only used half the sugar and it was enough for me.
Try c less natural sugar. Maybe use an apple instead - could try juicing it
This recipe is awesome! However, I did substitute Italian petite diced tomatoes for tomato sauce and because I had no apple cider vinegar, I used De Nigris Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. I was also out of corn starch and used 3 tablespoons of plain white lily flour.
This recipe came out great in the crock pot. I didn't have any apple cider, so I used a whole apple. The chunks softened up and seasoned the sauce nicely. I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of sauce and just a little salt to taste. Have served it over egg noodles and sometimes with mashed potatoes.
