INGREDIENTS :
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 2 lbs.)
- 2 c. cooked rice
- 1 (10.75 ounces) can Cream of Chicken soup
- ½ c. shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ c. shredded mozzarella
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1¼ c. milk
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using cooking spray, lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch pan.
Step 2: In the bottom of the prepared pan, spread the cooked rice.
Step 3: In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In the meantime, sprinkle the pork chops with seasoned salt. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the pork chops are beginning to brown. When done, transfer the pork chops over the cooked rice.
Step 4: Whisk the cream of chicken soup and milk until well blended. Pour this over the pork chops.
Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, uncovered. When done, take the pork chops out of the oven and sprinkle on top the shredded cheeses followed by cooked bacon. Place in the oven again and resume baking for another 5 to 10 minutes.
