Country Pork Chops and Rice

This simple to make dish is full of flavor! Rice is toasted in a skillet with onions and celery and then placed in a casserole dish. Beef stock and Worcestershire sauce are poured over the rice mixture. Seasoned and browned pork chops are placed on top of the rice mixture. After covering the dish with foil, the pan bakes in the oven to cook the rice and pork chops together. The results are moist and tender pork chops and fluffy seasoned rice.
