I made this for last night! I did not brown the pork chops or pre cook the mushrooms & onions and just put them in the crock pot raw, and I did not have a bell pepper on hand. OTHER THAN THAT I followed the recipe as written. It was outstanding! Both Hubby & I give this a 5 star rating! I did have one little mishap, while adding the Italian seasoning the top came off and 3/4 of the bottle went onto the raw mushrooms and onions! I had to take them out and wash them off before adding them back into the slow cooker. No damage was done! I served this on top of Spaghetti noodles with Fresh Italian bread on the side & a side salad. We did not touch our salad. The bread was perfect for soaking up the sauce on our plates! A big thank you to Sneakyteaky for sharing this with us!

This was fantastic! I was a bit lazy and threw the pork chops in the crockpot semi-frozen and just mixed the veggies (didn't sautee them) and sauce/spices together, poured over the pork and let it cook. The pork was so tender and flavorful, the entire family loved it! I will definately use this as a base recipe for beef, brats, chicken, etc. in the future! Thanks for a great recipe!

This was very good. I used a combination of button and baby bella mushrooms. I also used shredded mozzarella, as that's what I had on hand. The meat was fall-apart tender and had great flavor. It made the house smell amazing all day. Thank you :)

This was okay, I wasn't really crazy about it. My husband liked it but I think he was the only one that did. I think I would prefer chicken cacciatore.

I always dis-like people who "massacre" recipes and then rate them so low (well duh! It's not like you're some awesome well known chef!), so having said that, I made it per the instructions and it's good (4 stars), but to make it 5 stars, here are my suggestions: Mix 2 tsp each garlic powder and oregano w/ 1 tsp crushed rosemary - rub this onto the pork chops, and do a quick sear in the oil. Use a GOOD brand of pasta sauce (ever hear the theory "buy cheap, get cheap"...well the same holds true in cooking!) I recommend Bertolli Fire roasted tomato sauce w/ cabernet sauvignon! Then to give the dish more depth, don't stick to regular diced tomatoes, I suggest Glen Muir fire roasted diced tomatoes. Instead of a normal bell pepper, I chose to go gourmet and bought fire-roasted red bell peppers...it was Absolutely phenomenal! Also, instead of your regular white mushrooms, swap those for the baby ports - it will give some rustic heartiness to this dish. Even though this dish has dry white wine, the flavours meld SO nicely! It's a fantastic dish! Oh, and make sure you are using fresh mozzarella, not that brick stuff!

I've made this recipe a few times, my daughter LOVES it! The first time I made it exactly as written, the second time I just threw all the ingredients together in the slow cooker. The result is the same. The third time I used chicken instead of pork, which I think tastes much better. The only problem I have had with the recipe is that I find the sauce too liquidy, and I have to thicken it with cornstarch. Not a big deal. A lot of sauce is made so I double the meat and freeze leftovers, they reheat well. This recipe is worth making for a busy mom and kids love it. Thank you for sharing!!!

DELICIOUS! I was a little hesitant to try this, as I lived in Italy for a short time and hold my Italian food to a very high standard. I was very pleased with the turn out. It would be better with homemade pasta sauce, instead of using sauce from a jar. But with the added veggies and spices, the sauce was great. One major change I did was I only cooked this for 4 hours. I made sure the pork was done. If I had cooked it for the full time, the meat would have turned out too tough and not tender at all.

What a delicious dish! I've made this with chicken before, but using pork had never crossed my mind... silly me! I left out the mushrooms, because I don't eat them, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. It was amazing! Thanks for this fantastic twist on cacciatore.

I did not brown the chops before adding to slow cooker as some reviewers suggested. It came out very tender. Next time I think I will use a better quality jar sauce, the one I used was not as flavorful, and the house did not smell great as I was expecting.

4 1/2 stars. used frozen chops (did not brown), and poured all ingredients over them in the slow cooker (without browning the ingredients). cut back on the sauce; added some chicken stock; and these turned out great -- tender & flavorful. very easy, i will definetly make again (probably with chicken).

My husband LOVED this dish. I didn't really care for the pork. As other users stated, it was a bit dry and the flavor didn't seem to penetrate the meat. Though, I like meat very tender, even though this did fall off the bone. I think it is a personal taste. I will make this again for my family, it was easy, low fat, and filling! Thanks!

The sauce was great! I didn't have fresh mushrooms so used canned (drained) and skipped the wine. (Had that *with* dinner!) I didn't like the pork chops; I'd use chicken thighs next time and cut back on the cooking time by an hour. I used thick cut chops and browned them first. I think the browning seared the outside preventing liquid from penetrating the meat as the chops were dry. So, I shredded the pork and served it over rice and it went over well with the family. I would probably just throw it all in the pot without precooking anything!

Family really liked this recipe. I stuck with using pork chops but I felt that more than four could be used, there was a whole lot of sauce left over. Six chops is what I would use next time. Also only used a 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes, 28 oz. is not needed. Next time I will try a previous reviewers suggestion and coat chops in bread crumbs before browning. Great, uncomplicated recipe.

This is a nice, different recipe for pork. I dredged my pork chops (boneless) in Italian bread crumbs before browning. We love the texture of the diced tomatoes (I added those later in the cooking time). Thanks for the recipe!

We all loved this. I used chicken (leg quarters with bones and thighs without) and the meat fell off the bone when I took it out. So I ended up stirring it all together into a kind of sauce and putting the whole thing over pasta. My kids (5 and 2) devoured it. And it did make a ton! I have two batches in the freezer for other nights. Yay!
