My husband is an extremely picky eater, he told me this was a definate keeper and I must agree. The pork chops were moist and tasty and the rice was an excellent finish.

We thought this was a terrific pork chop casserole. Easy to make. The rice really soaked up the taco seasoning and had great flavor. I used about 1 cup of cheese on top. Thanks Kim D.
