Mexican-Style Pork and Rice Casserole image

I created this recipe when I had a surplus of country style ribs and a family sick of eating ribs. It's like carnitas de puerco and spanish rice all in one dish. My family loved it, so I'm writing it down. Feel free to use a whole bunch of onions and/or 8 oz of mushrooms. I was just using what I had on hand.
