Friends often make the assumption that because I like to cook that I want to cook and have time to cook every meal. In reality, I’m just like you, I struggle with juggling work and family activities. Granted, I can throw a dessert together in minutes. However, satisfying my sweet tooth is much easier than satisfying three food critic boys!

So how do I put a home-cooked meal on the table during busy weeknights? The trick is short cut products like Success® Rice. Success® Rice is the original boil-in-bag rice that cooks perfectly every time and is ready in 10 minutes. The Brown Rice I used is 100% whole grain and gluten-free. There are 3 other varieties available: White Rice, Thai Jasmine, and Basmati.

Did you know when your heating a pan, you first need to heat the pan without fat in it? The process is to heat the pan, then add the fat, in this case, oil, then allow the oil to heat and ripple before adding your protein. This reduces the chances of burning the oil.

If you have 20 minutes and pork chops in the fridge, you can have this dinner ready to serve your family.

Instructions

  • When pan is hot, add oil
  • When oil is hot, add pork chops
  • Cook 3 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness, on each side.
  • Remove pork chops from pan. (You will add them back in a few minutes.)
  • Remove the uncooked rice from bag and toast in the pan in drippings for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add french onion soup, mushroom steak sauce and water to pan with rice.

Notes

The pork chops may splatter grease when cooking at a high temperature. Cover the pan with a splatter guard and don't allow children in area while searing pork chops. You can use Success® White Rice and Success® Whole Grain Brown Rice in this recipe.The cooked rice can sit up to 30 minutes making this a foolproof and worry-free dish.

    Paula, how many cups of regular rice would this use? We don’t particularly like Success rice.

  3. You don’t list the rice in the ingredients. How many bags do you use? What size?

  4. What is mushroom steak sauce? Is there a brand? Or do you mean mushroom gravy?

    1. I would probably work with mushroom gravy, which is what I meant to pick up. The link to exactly brand is in the comments above, Shawntel.

    1. No and I just realized my instructions are unclear on that. Add the uncooked rice and you’ll kind of toast it slightly then the rice will cook in the french onion soup, mushroom steak sauce and water.
