ITALIAN STYLE CROCK POT PORK LOINS



Italian Style Crock Pot Pork Loins image

I found the original recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook submitted by Vickie Lowe from Pennsylvania. I found I didn't have the exact ingredients, so I made a couple of substitutions and omitted a few things, and I came up with this. Posted on March 24th, 2006 (original recipe called for bone-in chops and fresh mushrooms).

Provided by Chef shapeweaver

Categories     Pork

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless pork chops, 1 inch (if desired you can pound to 1/2 inch thick)
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (I used 2 4 ounce cans of mushroom stems and pieces)
1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
garlic powder
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes

Steps:

  • Lightly sprinkle each side of pork chop with garlic powder.
  • In a non-stick skillet, brown chops on each side.
  • Combine mushrooms and onions in crock pot.
  • Add browned chops in a single layer over mushroom and onions.
  • In a small bowl, mix together sauce ingredients.
  • Pour over pork.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (7 hours for bone-in chops) or until meat is tender.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use bone-in pork chops. If you don't have bone-in chops, you can use boneless chops, but they may be a little less flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the crock pot. If you have too many pork chops, they won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the pork chops on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will be.
  • Add some vegetables to the crock pot with the pork chops. This will help to create a flavorful sauce and make the pork chops even more tender.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Tender Italian-Style Pork Chops in a Crock Pot is an easy and delicious way to make a classic Italian dish. The pork chops are cooked until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
