Tender Pork Chops

Who doesn't love a good crockpot recipe? Here is a good one! Easy to throw together and the pork really is tender and juicy cooked this way. I don't think it was intended to sit on a bed of whole-wheat noodles, but is just seemed like the right thing to do. :) I really liked the mushrooms and the sauce! I think you could easily exchange pork for chicken as well.
