Easy Baked Pork Chops and Rice Casserole
Description
This casserole recipe layers rice, water, butter, and pork chops in a baking dish, seasoning the chops and topping with onion soup mix. Spreading butter throughout the rice adds richness, while the onion soup mix infuses flavor into both the rice and pork as they cook together in the oven. The pork chops bake atop the rice, allowing their juices to mingle and season the grains, which absorb moisture and become tender.
Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour ensures the pork chops are fully cooked and the rice has absorbed all liquid, producing a filling main dish with a blend of textures—moist rice and juicy pork. Adjusting the rice type or cooking liquid is necessary if using a different rice than suggested to maintain proper consistency during baking.
This one-pan meal is convenient and suitable for family dinners with minimal prep and clean-up, delivering straightforward comfort food with balanced savory flavors from butter and onion soup seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice *I use Minute Rice, if using regular or long grain, increase cook time and liquid by about 1 cup
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 5 tablespoon butter *cut into 1 tablespoon slices
- 1 envelope onion soup mix Lipton brand
- 4-6 pork chops
Instructions
- Using 1 tbsp. butter, spread it around a 9 x 13 baking pan to “grease” the pan.
- Place rice on bottom of pan.
- Add in water and gently mix around.
- Take remaining butter slices and place on top of rice.
- Put pork chops over rice. Season pork chops with salt/pepper as desired.
- Sprinkle Lipton onion soup mix over entire pan.
- Cover pan with tin foil and place pan in preheated oven, 350 degrees.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until pork chops are cooked through and liquid is absorbed in rice. Enjoy!
