Excellent! I used fresh oregano, 28 oz can tomatoes (we prefer more sauce) bone-in center cut pork chops, browned/sauteed according to the recipe and added everything to my slow cooker on high for 3+ hours. I didn't make the dumplings and served with some crusty bread to dip in the sauce instead. Very tender pork and flavorful sauce...the DH is not a huge fan of pork chops or bell peppers but enjoyed this as well....quick to prepare especially if using the slow cooker...Will be making this again...especially looking forward to trying it with the dumplings in the fall. Thanks for posting!

We absolutely loved this dish. So flavorful & easy. The changes I made were to add more pepper, onion & mushrooms. I also added about 3 large cloves of garlic to veggies a couple of minutes prior to adding the tomatoes. I added a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes cuz DH likes things "saucey". I used fresh basil in place of the oregano. I omitted making the dumplings & served over rice with a green salad. I was worried that the chops wouldn't be tender, but you could cut them with a fork. Thanks for a great recipe, this one is a keeper!
