Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C)
In a mixing bowl; combine the rice, milk, and cream of celery soup using a whisk.
Lightly spray a rectangle baking dish (13x9 or similar) with cooking spray.
Transfer the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the seasonings together, then season both sides of the pork chops well. This should be enough seasoning mixture for four pork chops.
Optional, but recommended, sear the seasoned pork chops for a minute or so on both sides on a hot griddle or in a hot large skillet. They aren't cooking through, just searing for color and added flavor.
Place the pork chops on top of the rice mixture then cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Place into the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until done.
