Ingredients | Pork Chops And Rice Casserole

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed

6 pork chops

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups uncooked rice

3 cups water

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, or more to taste

½ (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

1 red bell pepper, sliced into rings

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in the hot oil, in batches if necessary, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chops to a 9x13-inch baking dish and season with salt. Pour rice around the pork chops.

Mix water, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning together in a bowl. Pour over pork chops and rice. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 1 hour. Remove cover and top with bell pepper rings and Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes more.
