Ingredients

Scale

  • Pork Chops

    • 4 boneless pork chops (¾ to 1 inch thick)
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Rice

    • 1 cup long-grain white rice

    • 1 ½ cups beef broth
    • ½ cup milk

  • Seasonings

    • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix
    • 1 tbsp dried chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Season and Sear Pork Chops
    Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. Prepare the Liquid Base
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, milk, and Lipton Onion Soup Mix.

  4. Assemble the Casserole
    Spread the uncooked rice evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    Pour the liquid mixture over the rice, ensuring all grains are covered.
    Nestle the seared pork chops into the rice and sauce mixture in a single layer.

  5. Bake and Finish
    Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
    Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the top to brown.

  • Variations:

    • Substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken for a different flavor.

  • Pro Tips:

    • Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
