Pork Chops and Rice Casserole

This one dish pork chop and rice dinner is easy and supper quick.  It's a great weeknight dinner that my Mom made time and time again.

Ingredients:

6 pork chops seasoned with salt and pepper
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 onion cut into round slices
Orange slices


Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet brown pork chops on both sides, remove from pan.  Deglaze the skillet with the water until all the brown bits have been removed.  In a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish add rice, salt, pepper, thyme, sage and parsley.  Spread the rice evenly in the casserol dish, top the rice with pork chops.  Top the pork chops with a slice of onion and on top of the onion a slice of orange.  Pour the deglazed water over the pork chops and cover tightly with foil. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes and serve.
