What’s your favorite kind of recipe after a long day out with the kids? I’ll tell you mine…one that takes me less that 5 minutes to throw together then toss it into the oven so it can do all the work for me. This is one of those recipes! Fast, easy and oh so delicious.
Yesterday we were out at the local pool and waterpark with some friends. We ended up staying a little late and by the time I hustled everyone past the 900 ice cream trucks who line the perimeter and enduring the endless screaming about how it’s sooooo unfair that everyone else gets ice cream before dinner and I’m the meanest mommy in the world, etc. We made it home and tossed this puppy together, threw it into the oven, and wrangled everyone upstairs for baths and what not. By the time we were done washing off all that chlorine dinner was almost ready. Woo hoo! Love me some good ol’ casseroles that are a whole dinner in one.
Serves 4 Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 1 hour
2 T unsalted butter
1 cup long-grain uncooked white or brown rice
4 bone in pork chops
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 10 oz can beef broth
1 10 oz can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup
1 small onion sliced
1 green pepper sliced
S&P
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the rice and saute until nice and toasted, about 5 minutes.
Toss your broccoli and mushrooms into the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. Pour the rice on top of the veggies. Season the pork chops with the S&P and place them on top of the rice.
In a bowl combine the soup and 1/2 of the beef broth, mix well. Pour the remaining broth over the rice. Place the onion rings and green pepper over the chops and season again with S&P. Pour the soup/broth mixture over the top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Serve the pork chops on a bed of the rice with Roasted Brussell Sprouts.

Don’t worry, our mom wouldn’t let us have ice cream before dinner either…so you aren’t the worse mom EVER!!
This pork recipe sound easy and very tasty!
Looks wonderful and sounds easy! Love that! Besides, rice is my favorite comfort food, which is why I have to be careful. I can get carried away with foods that don’t have boundaries!
Looks really good and sounds easy. There are some days that I just don’t feel like cooking and this would be a great dish to prepare.
You’re my hero, girl!
Have a great day!

Oh yum I haven’t made pork chops in a while this sounds great. I try to do rice a few times a week. Thanks
I have a sweet and sour chicken rice cassarole that is easy and I always have the ingredients so I whip that together a lot. Otherwise, quesadillas are pretty much our go-to quick dinners here.
You are such a bad mommy! I can’t believe you didn’t give your boys ice cream before dinner! Honestly, this meal looks better than any ice cream you could give me. I’m a big fan of the all in one meals too!
You are amazing. How do you come up with such great recipes everyday?!! I feel like I repeat the same things all of the time! Thanks goodness I have your blog to visit to get ideas!
Delish!!
Seriously. Can I just hire you to cook for me? LOL
Oh and I just went through my spam on my blog and noticed 3 comments of yours that went to my spam. Totally odd. I will have to keep a better eye on that.
This one’s going in my “Things to cook now that I’m back to work” file! I’ll definitely be trying it out soon.
sounds really good. I will definitely keep this in mind. One of my favorite casserole type dishes is Shepherds Pie.
You know, its seriously not every day that I take the time to reply on anyone’s weblog. Truly, I don’t seriously stick with so many weblogs since I actually just don’t have the time. But I wanted you to know that this submission was exceptional. Thats all! meta tag 101
