Ingredients
  • 6 pork chops , about 1½" thick (I used boneless, but bone-in would work, too!)
  • Salt , pepper, garlic powder, chili powder & cumin (to season chops)
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1¾ cups water
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (use entire can, plus juice)
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1/3 cup chopped green peppers (goes in with rice)
  • 3-4 thin slices green pepper per pork chop (as garnish for pork chops)
  • 1 small handful grated cheddar cheese for each pork chop
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly season pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and cumin.
  2. Heat oil in large skillet. Once oil is hot, lightly brown pork chops on all sides (2-3 minutes per side).
  3. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Add the UNCOOKED rice, water, diced tomatoes (including juice), chopped green peppers, and envelope of taco seasoning.Stir to combine.
  4. Place the browned pork chops on top of the rice/sauce mixture. Garnish each pork chop with several thin slices of green pepper.
  5. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1½ hours. When done, remove dish from oven. Remove foil. Cover each pork chop with a handful of grated cheddar cheese. Place dish back into oven, (uncovered). Let cook for a couple minutes, until cheese has completely melted.
  6. Remove dish from oven, and serve. I found it easiest to use a spatula and remove rice and pork chops at the same time. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Prep time is very fast... then it bakes for 90 minutes, so this is very simple to prepare. Find a quiet spot to put your feet up... and enjoy the wonderful aromas coming out of your kitchen as it bakes!
