Ever since Jerry and I started dating in 1999, this has been his favorite meal. I make it a little different than his mom makes it, but it's still his favorite. I actually have a funny story to go along with this recipe:
One time, we were going to eat dinner at my mom's house, and I told him I was going to make Pork Chops & Rice over there, which he was excited about. He was at work, and my mom volunteered to make the dinner instead. We agreed to let Jerry think that I made it. When Jerry tasted it, he said, "Wow, this is really good--even better than when you usually make it!!" My mom and I laughed and told him that it was actually her that made it. Now, I always joke with Jerry, "Are you sure you don't want my MOM to cook this for you?" ;)
This can also be made with chicken--usually, I'll swap out the celery soup for cream of chicken when I make it with chicken.
Here is a printer-friendly version!
Pork Chops & Rice
12-16 oz. raw boneless pork chops (or chicken breasts), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup white rice
2 cups water
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope onion soup mix
Combine all ingredients in a 9x13 baking dish and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F until the rice is done, stirring about every 30 minutes to check. It usually takes about an hour.
*Note: To speed the cooking up a little bit, I like to boil the water before adding it to the casserole dish.
