  1. This was a big hit here. I thought I had tomato sauce but didn't, so I put in a 15 1/2 ounce can of fire-roasted tomatoes and kept the same amount of water and the rice was a nice wet mexican rice. The pork chops were so tender. Really great and super simple! Thanks so much!
     
  2. I wasn’t feeling well today and needed something easy to feed the family. I found this recipe and, voila, dinner! I didn’t have any tomato sauce so I used a can of diced tomatoes. It was delicious! I liked that it wasn’t spicy (not everyone eats spicy) and my husband was free to use the hot sauce. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. So delicious, so easy .... the boys are still raving!! Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. This recipe is amazing! Pretty much everyone in my picky family really liked it (when I say "pretty much", mean my 5-yr-old pickiest eater even ate it without much nudging, which rarely happen)! The best part was that it was SO easy! Thanks for posting!
     
  5. Very quick and tasty! Used only 4 pork chops and medium hot salsa instead of tomato sauce - I tend not to like tomato sauce based foods so I thought I'd give salsa a try! Turned out very flavourful indeed, bordering on a-bit-too-much, so the next time I will, historically, give the plain tomato sauce a go: the taco seasoning really adds a lot of taste so it might just work. Yes, I should have trusted your recipe, Lvs2Cook! :-) We did add more cheese and the next time I think I will quickly blend some of it into the rice, too. Thank you for sharing!

  2. This a wonderful recipe!! I have also used chicken breasts instead of pork chops and it turned out just as good. Both are great but I prefer the chicken. I pour in a package of lipton's Spanish Rice dry and the liquid cooks the rice to perfection. I love it!!!
