1 pkg. thinly sliced pork chops (about 6)
4 1/2 cups water
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 tbsp. parsley flakes
4 tbsp. minced onion
10-15 shakes soy sauce
5 shakes Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp. Crisco shortening
seasoned salt
1 box Minute (or quick cooking) rice (yields 9 cups rice)
about 1-2 cups ketchup (optional - I use Hunts)
1 yellow onion, sliced into rings

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Bring water, beef cubes, parsley, minced onion, soy and Worcestershire to a boil in a sauce pot. Remove from heat, add minute rice, cover and set aside to absorb flavor.

Meanwhile heat the Crisco in a skillet on a little more than medium heat.

Season both sides of pork chops with seasoned salt and sear until they start to brown.

Spread the rice evenly in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Lay the pork chops on top of the rice. Squirt the ketchup over the whole dish in a very thin layer.

Note: The ketchup layer is totally optional but it seriously makes the dish and your kids will LOVE it!.

Slice the onion into rings and cover the dish with the onion rings.

Bake at 350°F for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the onions start to brown a little on the edges.

Serve and enjoy! (I like to put a dab of ketchup in my rice on the side. Makes it tangy).
