4 ounce can of mushrooms, drained..........................2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
.........................................................................8 ounce can tomato sauce

............Brown the pork, drain on paper towels. Place the meat and all other ingredients in the crock-pot.
..........................Cook on Low for 6--8 hours or on High for 4 hours
