Pork Slops

Another recipe
Pork slops: A hybrid of the holiday green bean casserole, rice and pork chops

Feeds: An assload if you make too much rice to accomodate a large family size can of soup, if it is all you have!

Ingredients:

One cup dry rice [we used brown] - cooked

One can cream of mushroom soup [generic works fine for under a dollar]

One can green beans [I used French cut]

Shake and Bake two pack

Oregeno and Basil to sprinkle on after coating

Six to eight medium to thick cut boneless pork chops

While rice is cooking, preheat oven to 400f.

DICE pork chops about an inch cube size

Shake them in the bag with the Shake N Bake to coat

Spread into glass baking pan in single layer

Sprinkle with spices

Put into the hot oven for about 25 minutes

Rice should be finished by the half way to done point

Stir in green beans and soup [AND NO WATER] with rice

Check pork. If it has a crunchy edge and is white in the middle it is done! If it needs a few more minutes, rotate it and then put the rice/beans/soup combo into the oven with the pork to give it a slightly crunchy edge.

Serve with pork cubes over rice combo. The pork is to substitute for the crunchy topping of the traditional casserole. The rice is to stretch it further for more people. [This recipe is meat heavy because we don't eat a lot of starches around here!] Of course you could make it even more like the green bean casserole by adding French fried Onions on the top with pork, but we were out of them. [Will likes to snack on them.]

This one was so good that Razor and I both had seconds. Will hates veggies but even he managed to eat some of the rice and like it. If you have veggie haters who don't mind picking out their green beans you could always use a larger cut. I kinda wanted to force my family to eat theirs!!

If you still have holiday green beans, this could easily be made using the left overs!!!

Hope all is well with everyone,
