Pork Chops and Rice

A basic, but delicious dish! This is a dish that I've been eating all of my life. Whenever someone asks for an easy Pork recipe, I give them this one. It is also excellent with Chicken!

(I finally have a new camera, but still not pictures of this simple but yummy dish!)

Pork Chops and Rice

Enough Pork Chops for your family
Flour, Seasonings (garlic salt, rosemary, all-spice- use your favorite combo)
2 cups Minute Rice (only works with Minute rice!)
2 cups Water
1 can Cream of Chicken soup

Mix flour and seasonings in a flat bowl.

Coat Pork in flour, and cook on stove top until the outside of the pork is browned.

Meanwhile, in a casserole dish - size depends on number of pork chops- you want them to all fit comfortably- Mix the rice, water, and Cream of Chicken soup together.

When Pork is browned, place over the rice mixture.

Cook at 350 for 30 minutes.

Serve!
