Pork Chops & Onion-Rice Bake

I love to 'invent' new recipes.

Sometimes it's pouring down rain, you need to go to the grocery store,

but who wants to get out in that mess?
And of course, I was having a good hair day...

and my umbrella was in my car.
Soooo....I decided to stay home and rummage through my cabinets to see which ingredients I could find that would go great together.
I knew that cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix would be perfect together!

And of course...I was right!

Pork Chops & Onion-Rice Bake

4 Pork Chops

(I used boneless)
1 (10.75 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 envelope onion soup mix

1/4 tsp ground pepper

2 TBSP butter, melted

2 cups water

1 cups instant rice

Mix all ingredients, except pork chops, together in a medium size bowl. 

Pour rice mixture in to an 8 1/2 x 11 or 9 x 13 baking dish.

In a medium size skillet, brown pork chops, on each side, until a light golden brown.

Place pork chops on top of rice mixture.

Cover with foil.

Bake on 350* for one hour.


Remove from oven...do not remove cover!
Allow to sit, for 10 - 15 minutes.
