Pour over the pork chops and bake in a 350 oven for 45 Minutes. This recipe can be adapted easily for a slow cooker it is recommend to brown the pork chops. Serve with mashed potatoes. cooked spinach goes well with this dish. I usually double the tomato juice, sugar, salt and spices because my family likes it over the mashed potatoes. This recipe was given to me by my grandmother who cooked for a German family when she was young.
