Just made this for dinner! It was great! I seasoned the chops with Paula Deens House seasoning and seared on each side. Cooked the rice 3/4 was through before adding it to the rest of the mix. Also used rotel instead of stewed tomatoes and green chillies. Will make again soon! Thanks!

So I don't usually stray too much from the recipe in front of me but I was looking for a way to use pork in say, a taco or quesadilla. Here's what I did: I took 4 boneless pork chops and cubed into 1/2-1 inch pieces. Browned these slightly on the stove then added 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 1 can diced chiles, 1/2 large browned onion, 1 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 can drained/rinsed black beans, 1 teaspoon cumin and 1 pkg success white rice (out of the bag, of course!) and cooked until the rice was done. I added about a cup of water total as it was cooking as well. SOO good.

Yummy! Okay now, I made a lot of changes because I didn't have the required items on hand. But, it worked and was dynamite! Here's what I did: I only had a box of Goya Black Beans and Rice so I added to that, 1 drained can of kidney beans, one can of creamed corn (yes, creamed! All I had), and one can of Rotel tomatoes with chiles. I added two cups of water (as suggested on box of rice, and brought to a boil on the stove. I then added 6 pork chops that I seasoned with cumin and garlic salt. Covered and baked for one hour. Easy peasy and delish!!!!! Oh, I also added mexican cheese blend and sour cream on the top of the rice when I served it...

Delicious! The chops churned out very moist. I did use tomatoes that came with some chili spices and added black beans. My boyfriend is picky about tomatoes and veggies and he loved it!

Like some others, I made it easier by rubbing the chops with mexican dry rub and putting straight into the baking dish. Also, I didn't heat everything before rather mixed it all together, dumped it in the casserole and plopped the chops on top. So easy! Changed a few things per what I had on deck like brown rice, pinto beans and added some black olives. Really delicious and a little healthier!

Very good. It needs just a bit more spice, but I think we can perfect this to meet our taste. Thanks for the great idea!

This is nothing but a plain old pork chop! However, the rest of the dish is a nice flavorful concoction if you use Rotel Original(or Extra Hot) Tomatoes for one of the cans of tomatoes. The 2nd time I made this I used a Tex-Mex rub on the pork chops, used minute rice instead of regular and cooked everything covered for 40 minutes. That was much better. The pork chops were juicy and much tastier.

The porks chops were pointless in this recipes. Very bland, dry. The rice mix was pretty good, but definitely not worth making again.

We love it. I did not drain the oil, I sauted the rice until golden brown (as if making spanish rice) then added the rest. I did drain the beans but not the corn, and green chillies, added some flavor.

Good starting point but it needed a few tweaks to get it how we like it. First I used Adobo seasoning instead of salt, and also added some ground cumin. The canned chillis really didn't provide much of a kick so I threw in a couple of finely diced jalapenos too. Shame I didn't have any cilantro. I cooked it on the stove top so I could keep an eye on the rice. Not bad at all. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this, and I felt I was eating pretty healthy (even though it did all come from cans). This would be great on a weeknight as it takes so little effort. I did not read the reviews before making, otherwise I would have added some seasoning to the chops as I was browning them. I definitely will reduce the cooking time by at least 10 min. The chops, though tender, were too dry and so was the veggie rice mix.

Didn't like this one. The chops were dry and not enough flavor. Probably won't make it again!

I tried many of the tips found in other reviews. I think this was the best. I didn't brown the pork chops-instead I seasoned them with adobo, chili powder, smoked paprika, Mrs. Dash, and pepper. They were tender and flavorful. I added quinoa instead of rice. I really like the addition of the nuttier flavor. I also added recaito-cilantro cooking base. It brought out the chilis and the tang in the tomatoes. I cooked it covered the whole time. This was really good. I will be making it again and sharing with friends.

DELICIOSO!! I hesitated a little before making this dish because, frankly, the ingredients just didn't sound good together! After reading the reviews, I decided to try it. Several of you had suggested substituting ROTEL and adding taco seasoning to the pork chops. Wonderful idea! I love rice so I also added 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup and simmered it on the stove instead of baking. I did not have beans so I didn't worry about that. I bet the leftovers tomorrow will be even better. THANKS A BUNCH!
