Almost every time I post my mom’s meals on Facebook, so many of you ask for the recipe of a dish on the table. Last week, it was this pork chop casserole recipe, so I tracked it down for you. My mom cuts out recipes from all over the place and this one looks like it was clipped from a newspaper.
It’s there on the right, that casserole dish with rice and pork chops, so enjoy if you want to try it! She is always trying something new. Some are winners and some not so much. I think we all enjoyed this one. She made one change in the wild rice, so I’ll add that in the recipe too. She used a more flavorful rice that had sundried tomatoes in it, so use what you want. This is a typical meal that she will cook for lunch. They eat a bigger meal at lunchtime and much lighter for dinner. Nothing goes to waste. They eat all the leftovers too. I can usually count on something tasty when I go over there for lunch. My mama is amazing to still be cooking like this!
I shared a Mexican pork chop dish a few weeks ago that she made and some of you asked for that. I had already shared it a few years ago on my blog, so here you go! Click Pork Chops Ole for that recipe.
Here’s something else she’s been up to lately. Making homemade applesauce. They buy apples up in Ellijay in bulk and so she made a few quarts of applesauce. That’s so like her and I know one little great-granddaughter who will love this!
Enjoy the recipe and let me know if you try it!
For some reason, you all aren’t able to see the widget below with the recipe. Here’s my mom’s clipped version:

Recipe Notes

Rhoda, thanks for this delicious recipe. Can’t wait to try it! Would your Mom please share how she likes to cook all the delicious greens in your Dad’s garden? By the way, I really enjoy all your posts on your blog!
Dianne, she cooks those greens very much the same way all the time. Put them in water and cook them down til they are really wilted, along with some ham bones, chunks of ham. She always keeps leftover bits of ham in the freezer to cook with her greens. Add salt as needed. The pepper sauce she makes with vinegar is what really makes them good! I’ll see if I can get some of the greens cooking in progress and share.
We love okra. How does she cook it?
Robin, normally she fries it, but this looks pan cooked.
Thank you, Rhoda. That’s what it looked like which is what made me curious. Nothing like a home cooked meal from the garden! Thank you for sharing. Yum!
For some reason, I’m not seeing the recipe for the porkchop casserole…I’m licking the screen as hard as I can & can’t get it! Lol
HI Tina, it should show up right underneath everything and there is a print button. Not sure why you can’t see it.
Looks yummy! BTW Do you have an update on your friend Ruby’s house?
HI, Edie, I was just with her today & I told her everyone was dying to see her house. It’s not finished, she’s still working on things, but hopefully she will let me do an update post for where she is now. I hope to do that soon!
Great! i look forward to seeing it! I loved her floor plan. We are wanting to downsize in the next couple of years and her house “spoke” to me!!!
Have a blessed day!! Thanks!
If you can’t see the recipe to print, try another browser. I can see it just fine, I’m on Safari.
There is no food finer than southern cooking fresh from the garden. Thanks for sharing!
Would love to see more of her recipes….Iris’s Kitchen every week or so?….
