Ingredients

• 6  large  pork chops
• 4  large potatoes, peeled and quartered (like russet)
• 1  large green pepper, cored and sliced

Directions

1. In a skillet, brown pork chops in 1-2 Tb. vegetable oil, 2-3 minutes per side. DO NOT cook through.
2. Place in a large Dutch oven.
3. Mix together sauce ingredients. Personally, I tend to double the sauce (I LOVE SAUCE!) and put in more or less of the ingredients to your own taste (i.e. thicker, thinner, tangier, sweeter -- ).
4. Pour 1/2 of sauce over pork chops.
5. Add vegetables on top.
6. Pour remaining sauce over the vegetables.
7. Bake, covered, in a preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
