Pork and Rice Casserole

This is one of my favorite fall/winter recipes.  It's a no-fail, childhood favorite that just says "comfort food".

Pork Chops Casserole
6 pork loin chops
1 c. rice
1 can beef consommé soup
1 can diced tomatoes with chiles
1/4-1/2 c. chopped green onions
salt and pepper to taste
paprika, optional (for color)

Season pork chops and brown on each side.  Spread uncooked rice evenly in 9X13 casserole dish.  Place pork on rice in a single layer.

Pour on soup

Add tomatoes and chiles

Top with green onions

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.  Enjoy!

The pork is good, but definitely not the star.  The rice absorbs all of the flavored goodness and takes center stage.  I could just eat it for days!  It is a little spicy, so if you don't like a bit of a kick, consider using plain diced tomatoes.   I usually serve it with a green vegetable or a salad.  It just doesn't get any easier than this!
