I know I typically have issues with pork. I thought this recipe may be good to keep the moisture in the chop. Thought I would share.

"A wonderful Italian neighbor showed me how to make this recipe after I commented on how good it made the neighborhood smell when she had her windows open when she made it. This American-Italian term refers to food prepared 'hunter-style,' with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, various herbs, and sometimes wine. I found adding cheese gave it something special, it also made it mine." Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, sliced 4 boneless pork chops 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips

1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 cup dry white wine 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1.	In a large skillet, brown chops over medium-high heat. Transfer to slow cooker.
2.	In the same pan, cook onion in oil over medium heat until browned. Stir in mushrooms and bell pepper, and coo****il these vegetables are soft. Mix in pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and white wine. Season with Italian seasoning, basil, and garlic. Pour over pork chops in slow cooker.
3.	Cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours. To serve, place a slice of cheese over each chop, and cover with sauce.

For those of you who don't have a slow cooker or it isn't large enough.  You can use an oven proof pot and lid.  200-225 degrees in the oven is equal to low temp, and 300-325 is equal to high.
