This recipe combines two family favorites—pork and rice. It's a traditional type of meal I've come to rely on for my hurried, hectic weekdays and for casual entertaining.

6 boneless pork chops (3/4 inch thick)
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste, optional
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of broccoli soup, undiluted
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a skillet, brown pork chops in butter; season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings; add rice, onion and garlic. Mix well. Stir in soup, water, cheese, pepper and salt.
Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; arrange chops over rice mixture. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour; uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until rice is tender and pork juices run clear.

Made this tonight. Used Cream of Chicken with Herb soup, put the rice mixture on top of the pork chops and added 1 cup frozen vegetables. I also seasoned my meat as I usually do (salt, pepper, minced garlic) before I browned it. Turned out pretty good. Does not need to cook 15 minutes uncovered. 1 hour covered was plenty

Delicious!!!!! But the next time I cooked it I doubled the rice, added a little more water, and I put the chops in the dish and poured rice mixture over chops. Family loves it!

Other than the fact that it was easy to prepare, we didn't care for this dinner at all. The pork chops were dry. (Maybe they could have been put under the rice?) The rice was done nicely, but smell from the broccoli soup was unpleasant (and we like broccoli.) By the way, I followed the recipe exactly as written.
