" It's Too Easy" Pork Chops & Rice Casserole
By: Mareesme
Oct 17, 2007
When I made this (my husband's favorite) the other night I was asked if I'd ever submitted this recipe to Zaar. I had to answer, "What recipe?" So, after throwing this together for over 20 years, I'm writing down this "no-brainer" recipe for you to try, which only takes around 10 minutes to prepare. Optional: You may add fresh or canned sliced mushrooms to the pan if you wish. (2/1/08:Note: Using creamed soups will totally change the texture of this dish.)
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 thicker cut boneless pork chops
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
- black pepper
- 1 1/2 ounces dry onion soup mix (One-half envelope)
- 3 1/2 cups water
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.2
In frying pan on medium to high heat, sear to brown pork chops in oil on both sides.3
While pork chops are browning, take baking pan and layer rice, then sprinkle with black pepper,then dry onion soup mix over all.4
In small saucepan, bring water to boiling and stir into rice mixture in baking pan just as pork chops are browned.5
Place browned pork chops over all, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, until tender.6
Note: Check after 30 minutes to see if rice is done or if it's drying out. Lift up pork chops to stir rice mix in pan and taste. Add more water if needed. When the rice is done, the pork chops are usually very tender. I've found that over the years (with the 4 different stoves I've had!) cooking times may sometimes vary.

I don't understand the problems Chef #709785 had with this recipe. I followed the instructions, and mine turned out great. I am also an accomplished cook, and the only change I made was seasoning my pork chops before browning, which seems like a no-brainer. I let my casserole rest for about 15 minutes covered before serving. The pork was cooked perfectly and the rice was tender and light with all the liquid absorbed. I recommend everyone try this recipe. The real truth is that yes, it is easy, and good.

There is something seriously wrong with this recipe. This turned out to be a tasteless mess. I am an accomplished cook and even added sautéed onions and garlic, and substituted a can of Cream of Mushroom soup and white wine for the same amounts of water. The pork was under-cooked and the rice was not done despite baking for 15 minutes longer than called for. Don’t bother with this one. The truth her is that is in fact too easy, to be any good.

I give this a 5+ for ease in preparation and great flavor. I made 6 chope because kids had friends over, and all wanted seconds. As suggested, I added a can of mushrooms and added a little more water halfway through to avoid rice overbrowning around edges. The 2-star review must have been a typo.

My family really enjoyed this recipe! I subsituted two packages of seasoned carolina long grain and wild rice, in a measuring cup, and filled with white rice to make one cup. Instead of onion soup mix. Two cups of water. Also for a side I made home made applesauce: another recipe I found here on Recipe Zaar. What a great Fall dinner!
