If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ hearty and easy, I got a good one for ya today, honey. It’s a simple way to make pork chops and rice in that ol’ slow cooker of yours. You ain’t gotta fuss too much, just throw it all in there and let it cook slow, nice and easy. Now, let me tell ya, it’s gonna taste so good, you won’t know what hit ya!
First thing, you need to get yourself some pork chops. Now, don’t go gettin’ the fancy ones, just the regular pork chops will do. You know the kind, not too thick, just right. You can also use a pork shoulder if you want somethin’ a bit more tender, but pork chops will work just fine for this recipe.
Now, grab yourself a slow cooker. It’s best if you use the big ol’ one, the one you got sittin’ on the counter that you don’t use too much. You know the one I’m talkin’ about. But don’t worry, any size will work, as long as it fits everything in there.
Now, let’s get to the fun part, the rice! You don’t need nothin’ fancy, just regular white rice. Pour about one and a half cups of rice in the bottom of that slow cooker. Don’t get too fussy with measurements, just eyeball it like I do. If you like it a little more rice-y, throw in a bit more, no one’s gonna stop ya!
Then, you take some cream of mushroom soup, and pour that right over the rice. You can use that canned stuff, and don’t worry about stirrin’ it all up or nothin’. Just pour it right on top of the rice. That creamy soup is gonna make everything nice and smooth, just wait till you taste it!
Next, put those pork chops right on top of the soup. Now, you don’t need to sear them or nothin’, just throw ’em in there raw. But if you got the time, maybe brown them a little in a skillet first, but it ain’t necessary. Just dump ’em in and let the slow cooker do its magic.
Now, here’s the part where ya gotta pay a little attention. Add some liquid to the slow cooker. About a cup of chicken broth or water is good. You don’t want it too dry, that’s for sure! If ya got some leftover gravy or stock, you can throw that in too. The more liquid, the better. Just be sure it’s not too much, we don’t want it soupy, just enough to keep things moist.
Now, put the lid on the slow cooker, turn it on low, and let it cook for about 6 to 8 hours. Yep, you heard me right, slow and low. The longer it cooks, the better it’s gonna taste. Pork chops might be a bit dry if you cook ’em too long, so if you’re worried about that, just make sure to spoon the yummy liquid over the chops when ya serve ’em. That’ll keep ’em moist and full of flavor!
When it’s done, just open up that lid and take a look at your masterpiece. The rice is gonna be all tender and soaked up with that creamy soup, and those pork chops are gonna be fallin’ apart, just like you want ’em. Spoon some of that rich, savory sauce over the rice and chops, and serve it up. You might wanna add a little salt and pepper, but I reckon it’ll taste just fine as is.
There you go, honey! Dinner’s done, and it wasn’t no trouble at all. Serve this up with some biscuits or cornbread if you’re feelin’ fancy. This recipe is perfect for a Sunday dinner or when you just want something easy after a long day.
So, go ahead, fire up that slow cooker, and give this pork chop and rice recipe a try. You’ll be glad ya did. And remember, the secret to good cookin’ is takin’ your time, just like with this recipe. Slow cookin’ makes everything better!
