6 lean pork chops (1-inch thick)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3/4 lb button mushroom, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (20 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup dry red wine or 1/2 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed preferred)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes (rub between fingers to waken flavor)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (rub between fingers to waken flavor)
1 teaspoon dried basil (rub between fingers to waken flavor)
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 bay leaves
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into thin rings
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin rings
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1
Wash chops and pat dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat from meat.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil.
3
Coat the pork chops in a mixture of flour, salt, garlic and onion powders, and Parmesan cheese. Lightly brown on both sides in the heated oil (YOUR PORKCHOPS SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY COOKED); drain chops on paper towels.
4
Place the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the bottom of your crock-pot; add the chops by laying them on top.
5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce, whole tomatoes, wine or sherry, lemon juice, salt and spices (except the bay leaves). Give a good stir.
6
Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the pork chops. Add bay leaves to crock-pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 - 9 hours (HIGH: 4 to 5 hours).
7
30 minutes before the cooking time is up, turn crock-pot to HIGH and arrange the green and yellow pepper rings on top of the pork chops. Cover and continue cooking for the last 30 minutes.
8
Just before serving, top with mozzarella cheese. Serve with your favorite hot cooked pasta and a freshly tossed garden salad. Don't forget the warm and crusty Italian bread to dip into the delicious tomato sauce.
