Instructions:

Pork Chop-Rice Bake

6 pork chops
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup uncooked rice
Hot water
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 can sliced mushrooms with juice
    or 1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 tablespoons diced pimento

Brown pork chops in oil. Spread rice in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Reserve 1 tablespoon of seasonings from the soup mix. Sprinkle the remaining seasonings and onion bits over rice.

Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid, and distribute mushrooms over rice. Add hot water to reserved mushroom liquid to total 3 cups liquid. Pour this over the rice.

Arrange browned chops on top of the rice and sprinkle with reserved seasonings. Cover tightly with lid or foil and bake at 350 degrees F until just tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending upon thickness of chops.

Remove lid or foil and continue baking for 10 minutes or until any excess liquid evaporates.

Serves 6.
