MY PORK CHOPS A RONI
There used to be a recipe on the back of the Beef Rice A Roni box 40 years ago that called for this version and I haven't been able to find it so I substituted until I came up with this one. This is quick, satisfying and filling. Our family likes it very much.

Steps:
- Preheat oven 350 degrees.
- Rinse and pat dry the pork chops. Then create a pocket in each pork chop for the stuffing. Prepare the rice a roni as directed on the box. I used the Broccoli Au Gratin flavor but you can use any flavor you prefer. Coat the pork chops with the shake n bake and then stuff them with the rice. They do not hold all the rice so I set aside the excess rice for a side dish. Then place the pork chops on a baking dish that was sprayed with butter flavored spray. Bake for 45 minutes.
- While the pork chops are baking make the mushroom sauce. Saute the mushrooms in butter. Add the white wine and flour to make a roue. Finally add the chicken broth and stir. The sauce will thicken. Add the shake n bake to flavor the sauce. If it is too thick for your taste then add more chicken broth.
- Once the pork chops are done put them on a plate and cover in the sauce.

MOCK-A-RONI
This recipe was created when my baked macaroni and cheese loving husband asked for something more individualized to minimize leftovers. It has been a weekly staple for several years now and our 6 year old now prefers this to traditional baked macaroni.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir Cheddar cheese into melted butter until cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk, egg, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to cheese mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until cheese sauce is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir orzo into cheese sauce until evenly coated.
- Spoon orzo mixture into ramekins and top each serving with bread crumbs. Place ramekins in a shallow baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until topping begins to brown, about 30 minutes. Allow 'mock-a-roni' to cool enough to handle ramekins without potholders, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. Bone-in pork chops will have more flavor than boneless pork chops, but they will also take longer to cook.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become dry, so it's important to season them well before cooking. A simple salt and pepper rub is a good starting point, but you can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over too high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will help them to retain their juices and become more tender.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pork chops a try!
