Additional Information

NOTE: There has to be enough sauce to cover the chops in the cooker. If it doesn't look like there will be enough sauce, add some Chicken Stock to the sauce and mix well before adding to pork chops. You can substitute any pork chop for this recipe (loin chops, boneless loin chops, country-style ribs).
