Brown chops in shortening. Pour rice around the chops. Place onion and green pepper over all. Season with salt and pepper, pour tomatoes over all. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for about 1 hour. If necessary, add a small amount of water during cooking. Usually canned tomatoes are juicy enough that additional liquid is not necessary.
You fed us again, Robin! Thanks for another easy, tasty recipe. I had only a large can of tomatoes on hand, so cute them into four pieces each and used about an additional 1/4 cup rice (used brown rice). The chops were as tender as if they had been cooked in the slow cooker. (I have trouble getting my chops tender, usually.) Regards, Cay from FL
