Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the soup, broth, rice, garlic powder, dried chives, and onion powder. Transfer to the prepared dish.
- Pat the pork chops dry; place on top of the rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops, to taste. If you don't like a strong onion flavor or if you don't want the chops too salty, use just a portion of the seasoning (not the whole packet).
- Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops at this point. If they are done (and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F), remove them from the dish, cover with foil, and set aside to rest. Give the rice a stir. The rice will not be tender yet, so cover the dish again and return to the oven for about 25-30 more minutes, or just until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops. Garnish with herbs, if desired.

This simple recipe was handed down to me from my grandmother. She was a fabulous cook that could master elaborate dishes, but she also taught me how to make some easy and delicious meals. Slow baking makes this a 'fall of the bone' dish with even tougher cuts of pork!

BETTE'S PORK CHOPS AND RICE CASSEROLE
This is the recipe my son ALWAYS asks for when he comes home. I got it from his Gramma Betty, who when I divorced her son, still considered me a member of her family. She's a lovely lady in the early stages of dementia, so far she still remembers me, I will truly miss her when she's gone. Zak's Gramma Betty passed away earlier...

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: For best results, use bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will help the chops stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help tenderize the meat and add extra flavor.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked through: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit before they are safe to eat.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Allowing the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
