A simple Country Pork Chop and Rice Bake is an easy dinner recipe with just 10 minutes of prep.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, NOT diluted
2 cups beef broth
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried chives
¼ teaspoon onion powder
4 thick cut pork chops ((bone-in or boneless is fine))
1 (1 ounce) packet Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix (or other seasoning of choice, see notes below)
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the soup, broth, rice, garlic powder, dried chives, and onion powder. Transfer to the prepared dish.
  • Pat the pork chops dry; place on top of the rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops, to taste. If you don't like a strong onion flavor or if you don't want the chops too salty, use just a portion of the seasoning (not the whole packet).
  • Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops at this point. If they are done (and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F), remove them from the dish, cover with foil, and set aside to rest. Give the rice a stir. The rice will not be tender yet, so cover the dish again and return to the oven for about 25-30 more minutes, or just until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops. Garnish with herbs, if desired.

BETTE'S PORK CHOPS AND RICE CASSEROLE



Bette's Pork Chops and Rice Casserole image

This is the recipe my son ALWAYS asks for when he comes home. I got it from his Gramma Betty, who when I divorced her son, still considered me a member of her family. She's a lovely lady in the early stages of dementia, so far she still remembers me, I will truly miss her when she's gone. Zak's Gramma Betty passed away earlier...

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops: Opt for thick-cut, bone-in pork chops to ensure they remain juicy during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Enhance the pork chops' taste by marinating them in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Sear the pork chops before baking: Searing the pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat creates a delicious crust and locks in the juices.
  • Parboil the rice: Partially boiling the rice before adding it to the casserole ensures it cooks evenly and absorbs the flavorful broth.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Incorporate a variety of colorful vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, to add texture and nutrients to the casserole.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Bake until the pork chops are cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before removing them from the oven.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving: Allow the casserole to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the juices to redistribute.
