Directions:In a saucepan, saute Rice a Roni and uncooked rice in butter until golden brown. Add flavor packet, dried onion flakes, and water. Mix well. Cover and let simmer on med-low heat approx 15 minutes or until liquid has absorbed. Put rice in bottom of 10"x15" pan, smoothing down. Lay browned pork steaks in a row across rice, overlapping as necessary. Mix soup, milk, and soy sauce. Pour over steaks and rice, being sure to cover mixture. Bake at 350ºF for 45-60 minutes.
*** I'm going to reveal to you a little secret. You can vary this recipe so much by just changing out a couple ingredients. Instead of rice, use mashed potatoes, stuffing, beans, etc. Instead of pork steak, use pork chops, steak, chicken pieces, brats, etc. It comes down to this. Whatever you may serve as a starchy side dish goes on the bottom. The meat component is next. The soup component is next. Easy peasy! I have even sauteed onions and mushrooms to add to the rice to kick it up a notch. |

Notes: I used to request this recipe for my birthday dinner. It's soooo tasty. My father made this on many a Boy Scout camp out. The first time he ever made this for the boys, every single boy in the troop protested about something in the dish. This boy didn't like rice, another didn't like pork steak, another didn't like mushrooms. Funny, though. At the end of the night, when they went to wash out the pot, the only thing left was two lonely grains of rice. After my father retired from being the leader, the troop continued to use the recipe as a must for all camp outs. They lost the recipe once and had to come request another copy from my parents.
