Southern Baked Pork Chops and Rice Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10 ¾ ounces)
- ¾ soup can of water (using the Campbell’s or other brand soup can)
- 1 cup regular long cook rice (not minute rice)
- 1 onion (optional)
- 3 to 5 pork chops (bone in or boneless)
- Salt, pepper, or other seasonings to taste
Directions:
- Spray a medium sized baking dish 9 x 9 or similar (can vary depending on how many pork chops are being baked) with Pam (butter flavored is very good). Spraying with Pam non-stick spray makes clean up easier, gives some flavor and also means some of the rice is a little crispy for those who like that flavor.
- Spoon the mushroom soup into the baking dish.
- Pour water over soup and stir until mixed fairly evenly.
- Stir rice in with soup mixture and use a spoon to spread out the mixture evenly in the baking dish.
- Slice onion in rings on top of the soup mixture.
- Put 1 to 2 TBS oil in a frying pan and heat to medium high.
- Sprinkle pork chops with preferred seasonings. Note that the canned soup has a good bit of salt, so salt is not needed unless the family really likes salt.
- Brown pork chops lightly. They bake, so the meat does not need to be cooked through. Browning just gives a nicer color and also seals in the juices.
- Place the browned pork chops on top of the rice in the casserole dish.
- Cover the baking dish with tin foil and crimp around edges or use a casserole dish with a lid.
- Bake the pork chops with rice for an hour at 350 degrees F.
Southern Baked Pork Chops and Rice are good served with a salad and rolls.
