This is an updated version of DH's bachelor days recipe, that I posted in 2005. When I first met him, the only spices he owned was Tony's, garlic salt and salt and pepper. This is the recipe that has evolved from the original. It's still a basic recipe...just a lot more flavor. As with all my recipes, feel free to change it up to suit your family's tastes. Note: You can season the rice with salt and pepper. We do it at the table.

Ingredients

1 c long grain rice, uncooked
1/4 onion, sliced onion, sliced
1/4 tsp pepper
3-4 pork chops

Tips:

To ensure the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into the center. The meat should be opaque and no longer pink.
For a crispy crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet before baking them in the oven. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
To add extra flavor to the pork chops, you can marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before baking. Some popular marinade ingredients include garlic, rosemary, thyme, and paprika.
Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also add a sauce to the pork chops, such as a pan sauce made from the drippings from the skillet.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked pork chops and rice is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
