This one came from a cookbook, but since it's from Better Homes & Garden's cookbook of 1970, I'm going to take my chances and print it here, at least until their lawyers tell me otherwise! This is one of my favorite meals to make - VERY tasty, VERY easy, and makes great leftovers.
6 pork chops, 3/4 inch thick
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/3 c. uncooked packaged precooked rice (I just use Uncle Ben's Fast & Easy Brown Rice)
1 c. orange juice
1 10.5-ounce can condensed chicken-with-rice soup
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In skillet, brown pork chops on both sides; season with salt and pepper.
3. Place rice in 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch baking dish (or something similarly-sized); pour orange juice over rice. Arrange pork chops on rice. Pour chicken soup over all.
4. Cover (I use foil) and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes.
Serves 6
About This Blog
The idea for this blog came from my attempt to improve the variety in my family's evening meal after my second pregnancy, during which I made little or no effort to cook. Since I have two small children, I focused on my easiest recipes to minimize time in the kitchen, and aimed to go at least one whole calendar month without repeating a dinner menu. I did re-use a few side dishes, but I didn't repeat entrees, and I rarely spent more than 30-40 minutes making dinner. Ultimately, I found I could go way beyond one month!
I thought other folks might benefit from my little experiment, so I decided to go ahead and publish "a month of menus," including calendar, menus, recipes*, and notes. I've made some adjustments to my actual calendar to take out nights we ate out, spread out the chicken dishes, etc. (Once I get the first month complete, I may try to post a second month's worth.) I've posted each recipe as a separate posting for ease in searching, and the calendar appears at the bottom of the page. (My apologies that a few recipes are out of order. A blog is a difficult format for this, but it's a heckuva lot easier than a website!)
I hope someone out there will find this information useful! Bon appetit!
*Many of my recipes are from cookbooks or were published in a magazine or on a website. I have done my best to be respectful of copyrights, so in some cases I don't reprint a recipe here, but I point you to the book or link you to the website. I have attributed all other recipes as best I could, but I don't always have the original source noted in my own files. My apologies to anyone who isn't properly credited for a recipe!
