I may have done something horribly wrong here, but my pork chops didn't wow me like other recipes I've tried on this site have. They were okay, but turned out kind of dry and just not as favorful as I had thought. Definitely an okay recipe if you just have some pork chops laying around that you want to use, but nothing to say "wow" at...

Love this recipe, so easy, so inexpensive. Also works great with the thinner breakfast pork chops, or whatever pork chops are on sale. I am cooking it right now with five of the smaller pork chops, works great.

This was delicious! My husband and 5 year old gobbled it up. I served it with a vegetable. I have a few tips, though. 1. 2 pork chops is not enough meat for the rice. 4 would be better, but a fattier cut of pork is even better! 2. I used about 2 1/2 cups of water and still had a lot of liquid leftover. I was glad! I scooped out the rice with a slotted spoon. I had saved the skillet I browned the pork in and it's rendered fat. I heated that up and added a couple of tablespoons of flour. Cooked for a couple of minutes. Whisked in the leftover liquid and boiled for a minute. What a lovely gravy! 3. Depending on the variety, wild rice cooking time can vary a lot. So, some people's reviews said their rice wasn't cooked and that is why. I added boiling water to the pan before baking. That will speed up your cooking of the rice. Overall, delicious!!

This was great. I used the uncle bens chicken and wildrice and discarded the seasoning that comes with it I also added a cup of long grain rice and extra water. It was sooo good make sure to season the chops or they are too bland. I am going to try it with chicken too!

no flavor, watery. I ended up making the extra onion-water into a gravy which helped a little

Although I thought it tasted sort of bland, the porkchops came out tender. Also, it's a good recipe when you need to make something simple.

Simple, yet very tastey. I found 2.5 cups of water to be plenty.

This is my second time making this and it was simple and tasty. THROW AWAY the seasoning packen that comes with the wild rice. I used it the last time I made this and the result was salty and over seasoned.

The pork was tasty and really didn't require any additional seasoning than the onion soup mix. However, the cooking time is waaayyyy off. I took the suggestion of taking out the pork after an hour, then continuing to cook the wild rice/soup mix. Even after another half hour uncovered at 350, the wild rice was still "al dente," to put it mildly. I'll make it again, but revise the cooking of the rice.

This recipes is awesome if you are looking for something to prepare quickly. I use Rice a Roni's wild rice. I also add mushrooms like others suggested. Thanks for the great recipe!

Hubby didn't like these, but I have no idea why! I thought they were tasty. I'd give it 4 stars for taste, but am rating it 5 stars because it was so darn easy!

Very easy recipe with great flavor. I used jasmine rice instead of wild rice to suit the kids tastebuds. Also, my onion soup mix was mushroom flavored. It was easy to put together and I loved that I didn't have to add in the calories from the cream of mushroom soup usually found in these pork chop recipes. I will definately make this again.

My pork chops turned out a little dry and that was a little disappointing. The rice excellent and there was a lot left over, I think there is probably enough rice for 4 servings.

Will need less water, and rice took way too long to cook. I just ended up eating the pork chops and thru away the rice. Will need to cook longer than noted... Sorry
