When I first started living on my own, I never knew what to cook. My mom had always done all the work in the kitchen including the meal planning, prep, and cooking. I wished back then that I would have paid more attention, now that I’m responsible for feeding myself. I started out making a lot of chicken breasts. Mainly just because that was something that I could make in a single serving portion. That, and it’s pretty much full proof, meaning that you can’t really mess chicken up. I headed up to the grocery store with some spare time one day, and I decided that I was going to browse around and see what else I could come up with for a main meat entree. That’s when I saw pork chops. Oh yeah! Mom used to make those all the time.

So, I purchased a package and took them home with me. Unfortunately, that’s where they sat for a few weeks. Right in the freezer. Then, I decided I was going to turn them into a casserole with a few other items that I had also purchased. Mom always told me that you can add soup and rice to just about anything and make it good.

The end result turned out a lot like this recipe from South Your Mouth. It looked amazing, and the flavor was even better than what I expected. I didn’t think that I would ever be able to make something this tasty myself, but I did it!

Quick Tip: You can also do this with chicken.

I almost lost a friendship a couple of weeks ago because I forgot that I was supposed to attend a potluck. Okay, so maybe “losing a friendship” is something a bit grave. But Susan wouldn’t have talked to me a for a week if I wasn’t able to attend her potluck. I promised pasta, but I was too busy the whole week I wasn’t able to think of the perfect pasta to bring.

I knew I had to bring something that everyone would love. That’s the point in potlucks. You have to take into consideration everyone who’s coming, if not all. At least most of them should at least like what you’re going to bring or else yours will be the only dish not empty by the end of the day.

I found this no-fuss pork chop casserole recipe when I was desperately searching for the meal that’s easy to prepare and easy to bring. This is truly no fuss! I even had time to help my sons with their assignments before the baby sitter arrived to take over. I didn’t like leaving my sons, but there are times I just can’t say no to friends. I rarely see them too, so when they invite me for dinners, I usually come. I will be sharing this pork chop recipe with you in the next page so you can see for yourself how easy this delicious casserole is!

Quick Tip: Serve these pork chops over rice and the soup broth absorbs into the rice and chops as they bake.

My husband hasn’t been a big fan of pork chops. I think it has to do with the fact that his mother used to make them so often when he was a kid. Whenever I suggest pork chops for dinner, he gets this weird look on his face. And then he says he wants to cook a surprise dinner, instead. Haha! Well, I can’t really blame him. My mother-in-law is a great cook, but perhaps pork chops once a week is a bit too often!

The other night, however, I found this really tasty-looking pork chop recipe and I just had to try it. My husband was still at work so he didn’t have a say in it! I prepared everything (which is, by the way, a breeze with this dish) and waited until he got home. I poured him a glass of wine and told him we were going to have a special meal. His jaw dropped when I served the pork chops, but as soon as he took his first bite, he said these were going on our dinner routine!

Say Hello To My New Best Casserole Friend!

I am not even kidding when I say I hate chopping. Ok, some of it may have to do with the fact that I’m the laziest person on Earth to take care of my kitchen knifes…

They’re not exactly in the sharpest possible condition, if you know what I mean! But still, it’s usually the lack of time that makes me want to avoid recipes where there’s a lot of chopping involved. After a long and busy workday I would simply rather do something else.

That’s one of the reasons I fell in love with this pork chop and rice casserole recipe. No chopping whatsoever! It’s not the only reason, though. I love recipes that make use of the most inexpensive and simple ingredients and still turn out unbelievably tasty. My husband is crazy about this dish – he could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Come to think of it, so could I!

Quick tip: You can add your favorite spices to give this even more taste. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes!

Pork chops usually don’t show up in a casserole. But this one has them and will quickly become a favorite with the family. It’s easy to put together and tastes delicious. I am all for unusual foods and trying new things. My, kids? Not so much. However, they really enjoyed this pork chop casserole and have asked for me to make it again, several times. My husband gives it two thumbs up, too. So, i guess you could say that pork chop casserole is a real winner in my house. Yay!

This would be the perfect casserole to serve on a cold winter night. But you don’t have to wait for winter. This will also work any other time of the year. And because it uses canned soup, it whips up fast and easy. A big draw of this dish is that it has a crunchy topping which adds additional flavor.
