My favorite dish that mom makes is a Pork Chop Casserole. Whenever I go home, this is the dish I want mom to make. I’m going to show you how to prepare this easy and delicious meal. It only uses a few ingredients.
- Pork Chops- of course- thin cut (breakfast type)
- One green bell pepper
- One tomato
- One onion
- Beef consume – one can
- Five Tablespoons of Long Grain rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of flour
I’m going to take you through the recipe, step by step, using a series of photos.
Love a big pan that you can not only fry the pork chop in - but later allow it to simmer.
A bit of olive oil (no fancy virgin or extra virgin) then Let the pan get hot.
Medium heat is all you need. With these great pans- anything more is a waste.
Once the oil is hot - add some butter.
Cut up some onions, heirloom tomatoes, and green onions.
Add pepper to the pork chop along with salt.
The pork chop is placed in flour.
Well seasoned with salt and pepper - then flip it with the tongs and salt and pepper the other side.
The pork chops go into the frying pan: they are frying over a medium heat.
You can see they become golden brown on one side after about 2-3 minutes.
Medium heat is all you need. These pork chops are now fried- time to add the rest of the stuff.
My mom likes using canned consume - this beef broth is pretty easy too.
Just add enough of the broth to almost cover the chops.
Should look like this.
The sliced onion goes on first.
Then add the tomato on top of it.
The bell pepper is placed to make it look "pretty" - as mom says.
About 5 Tablespoons of rice - I prefer long-grain.
Just add it to the broth on either side of the chops.
If you have left over tomatoes and green peppers and onions place them around the dish.
All you need is to simmer this- so down from the medium heat.
Remember low and slow.
After about 15 minutes it starts to look like this.
Now it is done- the rice has absorbed the flavors of the pork and vegetables.
You have a perfect dish- with vegetables and meat and starch.
Here is the written recipe:
Place about two tablespoons of olive oil in a deep dish fry or saute pan and have it on a medium heat. Once it has heated up add two tablespoons of butter.
Take the pork chops and dredge them through flour: put the flour on a plate, place the chop on it. Season the top of the pork chop with salt and pepper. Flip the pork chop- and season the other side. Note- This pork is raw- so wash your hands after handling the chop and wash down the counter surfaces.
Place the pork chop in the pan once it is HOT – and on a medium heat. It should fry about 3 minutes per side. Once one side is finished- flip the chop and do the other side. Still raw pork- whatever utensil you used to flip it– need to be washed.
While frying the pork chop- cut the onions and tomato and bell pepper length wise. Once the pork chops are finished – add just enough beef broth – or canned beef consume to bring it to the top of the chop.
Add the onion first, then the tomato- then the pepper on the chop.
Turn the heat down to SIMMER.
In the broth add your rice and any left over chopped vegetables.
Cover- and in about thirty minutes you will have a great dish. Trust me, my mom’s dish just may become one of your favorites too.
