Trim excess fat off pork chops. In a medium skillet, heat oil and brown chops on both sides. Drain pork chops on paper towels. Put mushrooms, onions, and garlic in the bottom of a Crock-Pot. Arrange pork chops on top of vegetables. In a bowl, combine tomato sauce, sherry (or water), lemon juice, salt, and spices. Pour over chops. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours. Thirty minutes before serving, add green pepper on top of chops. Serve over egg noodles.
