Submitted by: Rick Tytko, Brecksville, Oh

Ingredients:

• 4 thick pork chops
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 can chicken rice soup
• 1 soup can water
• 1/2 cup raw rice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 decrees.
2. Season chops and brown in a skillet in a small amount of oil.
3. Place them in a casserole dish. Pour soup and water into the skillet;  bring to a boil to absorb the pan drippings. Pour this over the chops.
4. Add the raw rice, making sure rice is completely covered with liquid. Cover and bake for 1-1/2 hours. Serves 4.

Note: Tomato rice soup can be substituted for chicken rice soup.
