Delicious pork chops! The sauce was sooooo good over rice. I followed the directions except I seasoned my chops with Emeril's Essence and pepper and browned them in a bit of olive oil first.I had 7 boneless pork loin chops and there was plenty of yummy sauce for them. I added minced garlic and shallot with the other vegetables and followed it the rest of the way. Served it with buttered white rice (with some fresh parsley tossed in after cooking) ,brown sugar buttered baby carrots and Grands! biscuits. A great meal worth repeating. I have this recipe in a cookbook called "TOH'S Slow Cooker Favorites" and I had been meaning to try it for a long time. The great reviews convinced me to try it today and I'm glad I did-you all were right. Thanks!

Easy recipe to prepare and oh so yummy! Cooked on low for about 7 hours. Used pork loin chops and the meat was very, very tender. The sauce lovely and tangy. Didn't need to add any cornstarch at the end as the sauce was the right consistency for us. Served with mashed potatoes and peas.

Very easy to make, and tastes wonderful! I shared this recipe with my best friend, who is a very picky eater and has two daughters who are also picky eaters. They all loved this recipe and the pickiest of them all asks for her mother to make this often.

This was a hit with wife and kid. I was afraid it would be too close to a psuedo-pepper steak recipe, but the lemon juice and worcestershire sauce made for a slightly different, yet very tasty, sauce. A good crock-pot recipe for cool weather, or the summer when you don't want to heat the kitchen. Served ovr rice, and with cold, marinated green beans and rolls. No variations made to recipe.

I really enjoyed these chops. They turned out super-tender, and I didn't even use a crock pot (didn't plan ahead). I dredged the chops in flour and browned them in some olive oil, and I also sauteed the veggies as well. After throwing everything together, I simmered it on the cooktop for about an hour, hour and a quarter. Tasty over steamed rice with a salad on the side (#125614). Thanks for the great recipe post!
