Pan-Simmered Italian Pork Chops

1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in large frying pan that has a lid.

2. season pork chops with salt and pepper.

3. sear the pork chops until lightly browned , about 1 - 3 minutes per side.

4. Remove from frying pan from burner.

5. slowly pour can of stewed tomatoes over chops, distribute evenly so that some tomatoes are under chops, while other tomatoes are placed on top of the chops.

6. Cover pan, and let simmer on low heat for 2 hours or until chops are tender.

7. Uncover chops and let simmer for another hour, or until liquid is mostly evaporated.

8. Serve over cooked elbow noodles with parmesan cheese and a side of your choosing - we prefer green beans and honey carrots.
