Pork Chop Casserole

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown them in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, uncooked rice, and chicken broth. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  5. In a greased casserole dish, spread half of the rice mixture on the bottom. Top this layer with the browned pork chops. Pour the remaining rice mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are well covered.
  6. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil (to prevent over-browning) and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  7. After 1 hour, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the casserole to become golden and bubbly.
  8. Once done, carefully remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the casserole set up a bit for easier serving.

Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this Pork Chop Casserole. It pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal. Bon appétit!
