Used chicken broth in place of water and will add more veggies to the dish the next time. It was good and so simple to make. I love quick easy and tasty.

This recipe was very confusing to me. First, I didn't know whether or not to add the seasoning packet that came with my Uncle Ben's wild rice mix. It seemed to me that if I did, the onion soup mix and the seasoning packet would make the rice entirely too salty. So I chose to omit it. Secondly, there seemed to be mixed feelings in the reviews about the amount of water to add. The rice box said to use 2 1/4 cups of water, so that's what I did, and I'm glad. This dish turned out ok, but it wasn't anything special. The pork chops were tender and it was an easy meal to prepare. I would make this again but would use just plain white or brown rice with the Lipton Soup Mix.

This was delicious! I didn't have as much rice as the recipe called for so I added some orzo along with the rice. The rice and orzo mixture was to die for!!

We used brown rice rather than the wild rice mix and our chops were larger than "regular" size. It ended up taking 1 1/2 hours to cook and there was way too much liquid at the end. But after draining the extra liquid the taste was very good. We will do this again!

This is good, but I want to know what Nunpunch thinks before sticking anything in my mouth.

This was a pretty decent recipe. I made it exactly as written, using two boneless pork top loin chops, and measuring out 6 oz. of rice from two 4 oz. packages I bought. I was kind of surprised when I uncovered the dish and most of the water was still there - the chops and cooked rice were pretty much swimming in onion soup. The taste was pretty good though, and I might say that the second half leftovers the next night were even better, as the rice absorbed a lot of the soup. It does take an hour to cook, but for simplicity of preparation, and the fact that you get meat and a side dish out of it, make it worth recommending.

I cooked this dish exactly as the directions instructed. The pork chops were so dry, my husband would not even eat them. I think the timing needs to be adjusted on this recipe. The rice was tasty but too salty.

This was quick and easy to make. But I can see why people said the pork chops were dry. I used thinner pork chops which were done by 30 minutes and the rice was still very watery. I took the pork chops out and let the rice cook for another 15 minutes. This is definitely not a dish for anyone sensitive to salt. I was very thirsty the rest of the night and threw out the left-over rice when I was done with my dinner. Since my pork chop was not dry I enjoyed my dinner but due to the salt I would not make it that way again.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I think it would be even better with chicken, but pork is a nice change when you get in a "chicken slump." I did tweak a few things. I used brown rice instead of wild rice because I had it on hand and I don't particularly care for wild rice. I also cooked the pork chops all the way through in the skillet so that I could cut down my oven time to 25/30 minutes. I didn't cover the dish while in the oven either. My rice was Instant Brown Rice so I didn't need to. I added canned mushrooms to the dish as well -- I poured them with their juice over the pork chops before putting the dish in the oven. It came out great. My hubby really loved the leftovers the next day at work, too!
