Mom's Spanish Rice and Pork Chops image

My mom has made this forever, but she just uses an eye to see how much spice she had to add, and/or tomato juice. It has always been a favorite of mine so I actually wrote down what I used. Surprise MOM! I did use a few different ingredients, but I liked the added zip and I know my husband loved it, because we had leftover rice...

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c cooked brown rice
6 medium pork chops
3-4 slice bacon, cooked, crisp, crumbled
1/2 c diced green pepper (or add red, yellow or orange sweet peppers)
1 medium diced onion
1 can(s) (10 oz) rotel mild with green chilis (or diced tomatoes)
2 Tbsp tomato paste + water, or tomato juice
1 c water
1-2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook rice, brown pork chops.
  • 2. Fry bacon until crisp, crumble. Drain fat from pan, reserve cooked bacon until later.
  • 3. Add green pepper, onion, rotel or tomatoes, and water or tomato juice. Let simmer for around 1/2 hour.
  • 4. Add bacon and simmered mixture to rice and season to taste with above spices. Place in pan large enough to hold desired number of pork chops on top. (I used a 4 quart corning ware as I only cooked 2 large chops.)
  • 5. Place browned pork chops on top of rice and bake covered for about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 30 minutes. You may have to add a little more tomato juice if it is too dry.
