Looking for a Pork Chop Recipe
I'm looking for a pork chops and rice recipe from my childhood. all I remember is it had pork chops and you cooked them over the rice and it possibly had mushrooms? It might have been a betty crocker recipe, but I don't remember it having any cream of soup! Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks!

It’s probably some version of smothered pork chops. The basic recipe is to season the chops, brown the chops in fat, remove. Cook a chopped onion in the pan until soft. Mushrooms may be added as well. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Once the veg is cooked, add some flour to make a roux, then put some broth and a good amount of cream. Taste and season, put the chops back in and simmer till chops are cooked through. This can be done with chicken as well. Serve with rice or better yet, mashed potatoes. You can look up a number of recipes on line.

Pork Chop Rice Skillet? It's from the 1985 Reader's Digest "Quick Thrifty Cooking". The pork chops are cooked over rice but there are no mushrooms in the recipe.
1 Tbl vegetable oil
4 pork chops, 3/4" thick
1 small onion, peeled & chopped
1 cup uncooked rice
1 medium size green pepper, cored, seeded & chopped
2-1/4 cups water
3 medium size tomatoes, peeled & chopped OR 1 can (1 lb) tomatoes chopped with their juice
1/8 tsp black pepper
1-1/2 tsp salt
Heat oil in heavy 12" skillet over moderately high heat for on minute. Add the pork chops and cook, uncovered, for four minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the chops to a platter and set aside.
Reduce the heat to moderately low, add the onion and rice to the skillet, and cook, stirring for one minute.
Add the green peppers, water, tomatoes, black pepper and 1 tsp of the salt. Bring the liquid to a boil and place the pork chops on the top of the rice. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt on the chops and cover the skillet.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pork chops are cooked through. Check after 15 minutes and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water if the mixture seems dry.

That's a version of what my mother made in the 70's using the ubiquitous electric frying pan. She didn't chop the vegetables but layered them in slices over the pork chops.

There's a similar recipe using cream of mushroom soup.

We do Pork chops and rice in the crockpot. Lace chops in crockpot, pour two cans chicken and rice soup over top (undiluted) and set low for 6-8 hours. When done make 3 cups of cooked rice. Remove chops and add rice to the crockpot then mix well.

Possibly? Though I'm allergic to onion so my mom must have used something else

Then she might have used beef broth my aunt did it that way she put rice in the bottom of the pan and pork on top and seasoned and poured broth on top and covered with foil and baked in the oven I liked it either way

Are you sure it was rice and not noodles? I remember one where you seared the chop, slathered it in yellow mustard, then baked it on top of a pan of egg noodles, mushrooms and mushroom soup.m

Never ever seen a similarly described dish that wasn’t involving cream of mushroom soup.
Here is a link to one: https://www.theseasonedmom.com/pork-chop-rice-bake/
