Crockpot Pizza Pork Chops Recipe

6 pork loin chops,

1 inch thick (about 2 1/4 pounds)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)

2 cups tomato pasta sauce

4 cups cooked orzo

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

Not in the recipe, but I also had some fresh mushrooms that I added in :)

1. Remove excess fat from pork. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in oil about 5 minutes, turning once, until brown. Place pork in 3 1/2 to 6 quart slow cooker.

2. Sprinkle onion (this is where I added the mushrooms)over pork. Add pasta sauce. Cover and cook on low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until pork is very tender.

3. Place orzo on platter. Top with pork and sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. 6 servings
