How To Make parmesan pork chops and rice

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Add the olive oil to a large fry pan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and stir.
• 
  Step 2
  Then add pork chops.
• 
  Step 3
  Brown each side of the pork chops for about 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 4
  While chops are browning, spray a large metal or glass cake pan with olive oil; spread the rice into the bottom of the pan.
• 
  Step 5
  Place browned chops over the rice in a single layer.
• 
  Step 6
  In a large bowl, pour the chopped tomatoes, pasta sauce, and seasonings. Stir.
• 
  Step 7
  Add the beef stock. Stir.
• 
  Step 8
  Then pour carefully over the pork chops, making sure all are covered. There will be a lot of tomato sauce, but much will be absorbed into the rice.
• 
  Step 9
  With a spatula or spoon, carefully lift the corner of each chop so the sauce gets underneath and into the rice.
• 
  Step 10
  Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan and 1/4 cup of Romano cheese over the top of the chop mixture.
• 
  Step 11
  Cover and place into the 325 degree oven for 50 minutes.
• 
  Step 12
  Remove cover and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is done.
• 
  Step 13
  Remove from oven. Sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese and some fresh chopped parsley over the entire dish.
• 
  Step 14
  Serve each portion by lifting with a large spatula, so rice and chop are removed together.
