Pork Chops and Rice !
Pick up some Pork Chops at your local butchers. I like to get ones
without the bones. While you are there, get Celery, Onions, and Rice.
Lets Cook !
We are Ready ! We got Creedence's Bad Moon Rising playing in the background,
just like when I made this in my college days. :)
Chops and Sauce
In one skillet put your Chops after you have salt and peppered them.
Put just enough water in bottom of skillet to cover the bottom.
Cover and let the chops cook till they are a nice white color, about
a half an hour depending on the thickness.
Now for the sauce. Cut up your Celery, cut the top and bottom off and throw
that away. Now slice it about a 1/4 inch. I like to use about 3 stalks.
I love Onions !...so I cut up two medium size yellow ones for this .
Place your Celery and Onions in another skillet and saute with butter till
they are soft. (If you like slice up a couple cloves of garlic and saute it too)
Now that our Celery and Onions and a little garlic is all sauted ,
we put in our Tomato Sauce. Use two 12 oz. cans of Tomato sauce, I like the ones
that have onions and mushrooms in them. Mix it all up and your Chops should
now be ready , so take them and put them in the sauce so they pick up the flavor.
Let this all simmer while you get your Rice ready.
Rest of our Bad Moon Dinner
We are having White Rice and a Green Salad.
White Rice
Give me a break now, I am older and wiser....... so I cheat now
and use Success 10 minute Rice. ROFL Didn't have that in my college days.
Green Salad
Get a nice head of lettuce, wash it up and tear off what you want to eat.
With this dinner I always have Catalina Dressing.
What to Drink?
Bad Moon Dinner? College? What else but a nice Cold bottle of Bud !
Told you this was my college Special Dinner, and old habits are hard to break.
It is all done. Put the Rice in a bowl, the Chops on a plate,
the Sauce in a bowl, grab your Bud , turn Creedence up a little louder, and
hope you enjoy it as much as I do .
