2 ribs celery, sliced
1 cup chopped onion
1.50 lbs boneless pork top loin chops (6 pcs)
1 green bell pepper, cut in strips
1 red bell pepper, cut in strips
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups spicy V-8 vegetable juice or V-8 and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch, blended with 2 tablespoons cold water

Place celery and chopped onion in crockpot. Trim excess fat from pork chops; add to slow cooker. Sprinkle pepper strips around and between pork chops. Pour V-8 juice over all. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours. With a slotted spoon, transfer pork chops and vegetables to a platter; keep warm.

Strain remaining juices into a measuring cup; skim off fat. Measure 2 cups of liquid into a saucepan. Stir in the cornstarch and water mixture. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Continue cooking for 2 minutes longer, stirring frequently. Serve pork chops with the vegetables and hot spicy sauce.
