Reviews
It was fabulous! Of course I put my own tweek on it as I am partial to Campbell’s soups. So, I used diced tomatoes with chilis in its place. I also used already cooked basmati rice. I did it for pork chops and for chicken. My wife can’t eat chicken. I can, though!
I really wanted to like this recipe but I didn’t turn out that great. I thought the pork came out really dry.. I did use brown rice, maybe that was why. I am going to try it again but this time cook the brown rice before hand..
After reading other reviews, I still tweaked it. Didn’t have enough flavor for me. I added Old Bay seasoning to the pork chops before browning, left out the additional water. Added a (14oz) can of diced tomatoes, (8oz) can of tomato sauce, (7 3/4 oz) can of Mexican style hot sauce all for nearly 3lbs of pork chops. Cooked the rice separately. Added butter and chicken bouillon. Once cooked, I spooned the mixture on top.
I followed the directions and some suggestions of the others. I didn’t use the extra water and added mild salsa to the tomato soup. Poured that over the chops let cook for about 10 min then added the rice. Let simmer for 5 min uncovered and served. No left overs at all. I will make this again.
Dang, son! This wasn’t half bad! Actually it was pretty darn good! Pork chops were nice and juicy. I fudged it a little, since i didn’t have any tomato soup I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce. I also didn’t have taco seasoning, so like another reviewer, I used about a half of a cup of salsa. I didn’t add the second water towards the end. I also kept the rice separate and served the chops and sauce over the rice. Fairly quick and easy and yummy too. This one’s a keeper!
I’ve not tried this recipe but this is one of my favorite dishes my mom used to prepare when I was growing up! However, just a tip…I suggest to use tomato sauce as opposed to tomato soup since the tomato base is the main flavor of the dish…unless you happen to find tomato soup more palatable. Also, we add green peppers in with the onion for a little added flavor and sometimes even garlic if I have some to get rid of. Next time I make this dish, I will also try adding the taco sauce, which we have never done in the past.
I doubled this recipe and used 1 can tomato soup & 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can rotel with fresh tomato’s it was great!!! All my family including kids loved it!!!
very easy to make and very good
Yummy. I cut up my pork chops to make it easier to mix. I added a can of rotel for a little extra spice. Will make again.
I was not at all impressed 🙁
This was a delicious recipe. I made a few of my own alterations but generally the same. I will definitely be having this again.
Yum, followed the advice of others and did not add the additional water – great recipe
I wish I read the reviews before making this dish Please Use 1/4 cup of water to the tomato soup. Too soupy. I just let it simmer with the lid off. added i mild green pepper to give it some life. i would do this dish again, next time with a little twist.
Good with modifications such as reducing the water to a 1/2 cup at most. Also instead of taco sauce we used salsa, the extra zip it gave it was very much needed. Overall a more than decent recipe.
Although the rice didn’t turn out in the slightest bit Mexican-y, this was a pretty decent meal. I used V8 veggie juice instead of water, and also sauteed a couple of sliced serrano peppers along with the onions and garlic. If there is a next time, I will use canned diced tomatoes instead of tomato soup – the sauce was a too sweet for my taste. Husband also suggested sprinkling some fresh cilantro on top.
I really like the base for this recipe but hate using water, it doesnt create enough flavor!! I used a can of diced tomatoes instead. It turned out great. I also substitued tomatoe sauce for soup because I didnt have any on hand! But all together a great idea!!
Made this for the second time and added a little extra rice and some green chili. It was good, thanks for the recipe.
excellent i used just garlic powder and i used substitute tomato sauce and it came out great. all my teenager boys loved it and the hubby to.
Easy to make. Recipe is similar to my mexican pork chops. Everyone in my family loved it. My husband especialy loves the rice.
I loved this! Very different from traditional tomoato sauce dishes. I never thought to use tomatoe soup! We added more taco seasoning and also some hot sauce. Next time I will skip adding more water at the end. Very tasty thanks!
This recipe was not our favorite, it was too tomatoey and very bland. It did not taste much like mexican rice and the pork chops were just okay. I am definitely going to try a baked chop recipe and add some more spices next time!!
