How to Make Pork Chops And Spanish Rice

  1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and trim excess fat.
  2. Rub the inside of a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with a small amount of the trimmed pork fat.
  3. Brown pork chops in the pot over medium-high heat, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chops and set aside.
  4. Pour off excess fat from the pot.
  5. Place 3 browned pork chops in the bottom of the pot.
  6. Top with half of the sliced onion and green pepper.
  7. Repeat with remaining pork chops, onion, and green pepper.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together the beef consommé, tomato juice, water, mustard, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder (if using).
  9. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the chops and vegetables.
  10. Sprinkle the raw rice around the meat.
  11. Add hot sauce or chopped hot pepper (if using).
  12. Cover the pot tightly and bring to a boil over high heat.
  13. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the rice is tender.
  14. If needed, add a little more water during simmering if the liquid evaporates too quickly.
