Who doesn’t like quick and easy?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This recipe is something I have made for over 50 years, and it was one of the first things I cooked as a newly wed.<\/p>\n

I have to say this recipe was put aside for a couple of decades until recently and I was trying to think of something to make for dinner that could be made after I come home from working at the brewery. During the Spring antique show here in Round Top, (TX) there was no time for cooking when I got home from a long day of prepping and helping out in the kitchen (and I don’t even stay until closing).<\/p>\n

What makes this recipe fast is the “instant” rice which I gave up years ago for converted rice, black or red rice and all the other mouth-watering rices available. But, when you are in a hurry this rice will have you sitting at the table in no time enjoying a homemade meal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve addd fresh mushrooms instead of the canned mushrooms I use to use in the dish. Sauteing the bone in pork chop (I guess you could use boneless, but I love the bone) is pretty fast if you have a pork chop no thicker than 3\/4″ and after bringing the water (or broth) to a boil and adding in the rice, it’s only five minutes until you are ready to pick up your fork.<\/p>\n

Hope you will give this a try. You could also use thin boneless chicken breast or thighs if you don’t care for the pork. Give it a try and let me know how long it took you to get it on the table.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/strong><\/span> Bacon Waffles or Bacon Belgium Waffles<\/a> is something our family had quite often growing up. Once you try putting raw bacon on the griddle with the waffle batter you will never go back to a plain waffle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you don’t have fresh mushrooms you can substitute canned mushrooms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brown the mushrooms with a little butter until they are tender and cooked through. Add a few dashes of worcestershire  sauce now or you can add after you have added the chops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper your pork chops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brown your pork chops in a little oil or bacon fat about 5-6 minutes on each side. They should be about done by that time. Remove chops from skillet and put on plate until to finish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add the broth or water and the dried onion soup mix and bring to a boil then add in your rice, top with pork chops and cover for about 5-6 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I forgot and did my pork chops before the rice so you should have your chops resting on top of this onion flavored rice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just like from my newlywed days.<\/p>\n

Bon Appetit!<\/p>\n
