    italian pork chops

    Pork chops smothered and baked with seasoned diced tomatoes, served with brown rice and corn cobs. I wasn’t sure how I’d like the tomatoes with the pork chops…I think of tomatoes working better with chicken and beef dishes. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this was…

    Best sale price for pork chops that I’ve seen recently…$1.49/lb. I try to pay less than $1.99/lb!

    • 1 cup brown rice

    • Bake pork chops at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through.
    • Boil corn in saucepan for 4-5 minutes, or microwave in microwavable dish with 1/2 cup of water, covered in plastic wrap, for 7-9 minutes. Serve hot with butter.
    • Serve Italian Pork Chops with Brown Rice and Corn Cobs.

      Erin, one could bake the rice in the oven …….. the time for the pork chops and the rice is close enough that therice could go in first, then get the pork chops in. Might as well use the whole oven!

      Im very very new to your website. A friend of mine had told me about your book and that was that!! Thank you by the way!!!!!!!!! You are a life saver in deed!!! The last few dishes I have looked at requiare rice and if your not going to use instant (because you can buy rice in bulk and they last for months) invest in a RICE COOKER Mine is my Best Friend!!! It helps out a ton!! You just throw the rice and water in it and if you get one with a steamer you can throw your veggies in it also and then just worrry about your meat or whatevers on the menu! <3 Its very nice to have!!

      Do you brown the pork chops first? When it goes in the oven, do you cover it?
