    Recipe



    Fancy enough for company, these mouth-watering pork chops also make a great
    family meal. I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Since my husband
    and I just had our first child, this recipe is so convenient - I start it
    during naptime for a no-fuss supper later.

    PREP 15 min., COOK 330 min., TOTAL 345 min.

    Place chops in a 3-qt. slow cooker; sprinkle with salt if desired and
    pepper. Add the onions, celery, green pepper and tomatoes. Combine ketchup,
    vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and bouillon; pour over
    vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Mix cornstarch and water
    until smooth; stir into liquid in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 30
    minutes or until thickened. Serve over rice if desired.

    [Mary's Notes: Supper 3/15/07. Oh boy was this ever good. My husband said
    it's the best thing he's had out of the crockpot! I loaded it with a lot
    more spices than called for in the recipe and it had wonderful flavor...not
    the washed out flavor you usually get with crockpot recipes. The original
    recipe called for 4 servings but I made 8 servings by splitting my very very
    thick chops in half. Changes Made/Products Used: boneless pork loin chops,
    no salt due to my dietary requirements, freshly ground McCormick's
    Peppercorn Medley, no celery as I didn't have any, 2 green bell peppers
    instead of 1, Great Value No-Salt-Added Diced tomatoes, Hunt's No-Salt-Added
    Ketchup, Heinz Cider Vinegar {most are flavored cider this is the real
    thing}, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, Wyler's Sodium Free Beef
    Bouillon granules and Hy-Vee Instant Long Grain Rice. I added lots of onion
    powder, garlic, Mrs Dash Southwestern Chipotle seasoning. MasterCook
    Nutritional information is correct for the products I used and the changes I
    made. PLEASE NOTE: MasterCook Nutritional information contains the
    information for a 3/4 cup serving of rice per person.]
