For really thick bone in chops, I brown them quickly on both sides in a hot skillet, then put the skillet in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to finish cooking.    I make the pork chop recipe you mentioned using boneless chops that I brown off in a hot skillet.   I cook instant rice, and pour into a 13x9 baking dish.  The browned chops go on top of the rice.  The green peppers and onions are sauteed quickly until they begin to soften, and poured over the chops.  The last ingredient is 2-3 cans of tomato soup and about 1/2 to 3/4 a soup can of water mixed together and poured over top.  Cover with foil and bake on 350 for about an hour.   My family wants the rice to be all wet with the soup mixture, so I use 3 cans in this recipe for a 13x9 baking dish.   If I make this just for my husband and I, using an 8x8 baking dish, I use less rice, 4 boneless chops, and only one can of soup.

Handsome is a Golden Retriever.  He does not get the gourmet meals that Jade  does.  But he may have to start

Thanx everyone.  I never cooked pork chops before, so you all reassured me.  And, I appreciate your recipe suggestions and shall try them.  If you have any other tried and true recipes, I'd appreciate them.  (My furbaby, has been diagnosed with a dreadful disease and am following chinese med right now.  Part of it is to feed her lots of veggies, meat, poultry and fish.  So, any cooking ideas would greatly help out.)

Aside:  Years ago my Mum used to make the greatest pork chop casserole - she used the thin chops, tomato rice soup, onions and peppers and served it over rice.  I've been dying for that - not much of a meat eater, but I've always loved that recipe; also a simiar one with boneless chicken breasts and cream of chicken and cream of celery soup and broccoli over rice.  If anyone has these recipes - probably from the 60's - I'd be grateful!

I don't know if this is helpful but I found this on Cooks.com:

PORK CHOP CASSEROLE
1 onion, sliced (sm.) 1 bell pepper, sliced 1 can tomato rice soup 2 to 4 pork chops Salt Pepper Salt and pepper pork chops. Place in single layer in baking casserole dish. Place sliced peppers and onions over chops. Pour soup over all. Bake covered for about 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until juices thicken slightly.

They have others if this wasn't exactly what you were looking for.  I like this site as they have a lot of old fashioned, easy and delicious recipes.

You touched my heart about cooking for your furbaby.  I used to go to Chipolte for my Chloe as she loved the pork Burrito Bowl.  I so hope your baby girl feels better soon!

That was it - thank you soooo much, mtc.  And, thank you for letting me know about your Chloe - is that her pic?  what a beautiful girl.  We "mommies" will do anything to please our furbabies.  I'm sure Chloe is looking down and with you.  In my heart my girl will beat this, but that's not the prognosis.  So I'll continue to follow my heart and think positive and try to make her as happy as I possibly can and will/pray her back to health!  (sometimes it pays to be stubborn!)

Well, Handsome is appropriately named!  Jade is an English Lab - same coloring as Handsome and quite gorgeous herself!

Yes, that was my Chloe.  She was my heart.  I still miss her but I was blessed to have her for as long as I did.

Please know, I believe thinking positive helps tremendously and it helps our furbabies too.  I think they can draw strength from us so I think you are doing the exact right thing including all of that healthy food.  I know I added time onto Chloe's life and you will to!  Prayers for both you and your baby girl . . .
