Options
OK this is one of my favs! So good!


4.00 tbsp(s), Butter - Salted (I usually use about 2)
1 cup, Rice -- White, Long Grain, Regular, Uncooked
2 Center Cut Pork Chop Bone-In (probably about 1/2 inch thick)
1.20 cup(s), Beef Broth - Low Sodium Fat Free
2/3 cup of water.
1/2 White Onion, Medium, Sliced
0.25 tbsp, Ground Black Pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In an oven proof skillet (or regular skillet and switch to a casserole dish) melt butter and add rice. Cook on Med-Low Heat for about 5 minutes (slightly browing the rice). Remove from heat.
Arrange Pork Chops on top of rice in casserole dish or skillet. Pour the broth (reserving about 1/4 cup and 2/3 cup of water over chops and rice.
Sprinkle with pepper/salt.
Add onion slices over Pork chops (use as little or as much as you like)
Cover with tin foil and cook for 45 minutes.
Change oven to broil
Remove tin foil and add remaining broth if it rice is dry. Broil until pork is browned.

    Thanks! My family makes something very similar. Mom uses celery in place of onion and chicken broth instead of beef. I Can't wait to try your version. It sounds like onion soup flavors.

    It is really good. I have used brown rice or white. Either works!

    That sounds really good, I have some pork loin steaks in the freezer which this would work with!

    Oh, I forgot to credit where I got the recipe. I got it from Trisha Yearwood.
