Let stand for 2-3 hours.

Strain off 20 oz (2-1/2 cups) liquid and place in 1-qt casserole dish.

Add 1 cup rice.

Cover dish; place in oven, turn on to 350 degrees.

Cook for one hour or till rice is fluffy.

Reheat chops briefly in remaining liquid.

Thicken to gravy if desired.

Serve everything warm, if possible.
