Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1/2 cup celery minced (note: you can just chop it but I am not fond of a really obvious celery taste so I mince it instead)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 4 pork chops
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 16 oz. tomato sauce
- 1 cup uncooked rice not instant
Instructions
-
Saute the onions and celery in the oil until softened and translucent.
-
Add the pork chops and cook until brown on both sides.
-
Remove the chops and add the water, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and 3/4 of the tomato sauce to the skillet.
-
Bring this to a gentle boil. Add the rice and stir.
-
Put the chops back into the skillet with the rice mixture. Pour the rest of the tomato sauce over the top of the chops and rice.
-
Cover the skillet and turn the heat to simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is done.
