"Super simple and very tasty. I got this recipe from my husband's cousin years ago and it has remained a favorite even with my children who don't care for pork. The onion soup adds a wonderful flavoring."

This was very good but I used 3 and 1/2 cups of water and added a can of cream of mushroom soup and a small can of mushrooms to the rice and onion soup mix. I also added 30 min. To the cooking time. It was wonderful.

This turned out wonderful! I usually make it with cream of mushroom or cream of chicken. But I prefer this way now! It was very very flavorful. I seasoned and browned my chops on both sides. After laying the chops on top of the rice and water, I poured 1 packet of lipton onion soup mix over the chops. Wrapped tight with foil and cooked on 350 for an hour! Chops were soooo moist and flavorful and so was the rice. The only thing I wish I would have done is added more water for more of a sauce. It was still good and we loved it! Took a picture too!

Kathy, made this the other night and it was just the thing. Simple and satisfying. To jazz things up a bit I added some mushrooms and capers before cooking and a 1/2 c. of white wine in place of some of the water. Very tastey and easy.

I wanted to love this. Pork chops got way over done. Not enough liquid so it was very dry. Sorry

I absolutely loved this recipe. I used the recipe but I seasoned and seared my pork chops. I also seasoned the rice with the same seasoning. I cooked it for an hour and fifteen minutes. My fiancé absolutely loved it. I will make this again.
