Description

This is a delicious yet very simple recipe that could be an entire meal in itself. It would be great served with fresh steamed corn on the cob too. Yum! My 2-year-old loves this so much, she had 3rds last time I made it. I find that the rice needs a little salt when it’s finished cooking to add that last bit of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Thicker-cut Pork Chops
  • 1 dash Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 dash Sage
  • 1 dash Thyme
  • 2 Tablespoons Veg. Oil
  • 1-½ cup Long Grain Rice
  • 3-½ cups Boiling Water
  • 1 envelope Onion Soup Mix, Dry

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, sage, and thyme and brown in oil on both sides.

4. While chops are browning, bring water to boil and spread rice in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle rice with pepper and then the onion soup mix.

5. When water is boiling and chops are browned, add water to the rice and top with pork chops.

6. Immediately cover tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes.

7. Remove from oven and let sit 10-15 min.

8. Enjoy!

Fantastic! Of course I changed tiny details to accommodate what was already in my pantry… I used 2 boxes of Uncle Ben’s long grain rice, so I replaced the soup packet with the seasoning packets that came in the rice. I seasoned the chops with
Cajun spice, garlic salt, and black pepper. And I chose to brown the chops in 2 tbsp of butter instead of the veggie oil. :). We all know butter does a body good! Mmm..mmm…mmm! My whole family loved it. I served it with steamed broccoli.

The rice part of this dish was very good, but my pork chops (about 1 inch thick; bone-in) came out way overdone (185 degrees!). That was disappointing. My kids still liked it, but I just ate the rice.

I’m glad you liked it! I’ve used all different kinds of pork chops, bone-in, boneless, and pork steak as well. They’ve all turned out great. Personally I prefer bone-in. It seems to have more flavor and be a little moister. This recipe has never turned out dry though which is one of my fav things about it.

Soooo yummy…we used pork steaks *they were on sale!* We also threw a bag of frozen peas into it. But, still incredibly good…now I’ve got some kind of crazy need to try all different varieties! Thanks for this, my six year old even loved it!
