Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat pork chops dry before baking to promote browning and better texture.
Don't stir the rice after pouring broth — let it absorb evenly for consistent doneness.
Place pork chops on top of the rice mixture after 15-20 minutes of cooking so they don't sink into uncooked rice.
Melt the butter with mushrooms and onions separately, then top the chops to keep the surface from getting soggy.

Substitutions

Instant rice → long-grain white or brown rice (add 10-15 min baking time)
French onion soup → beef broth + 1 cup sautéed caramelized onions (note: reduces soup flavor depth)
Butter → olive oil (note: changes richness slightly but works well)
Worcestershire sauce → soy sauce (note: use same amount for umami depth)
