- Cover and cook on HIGH heat, another 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until the rice is tender. Turn off the crockpot.
- Remove the lid, and fluff the rice & pork with a fork.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese, and let rest for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Don't stir the rice with a spoon at the end. I know it's tempting, but a spoon will mush the very tender rice. You must use a fork to carefully 'fluff' it.
- Sage and ground thyme are great spices to add to this if you want more depth of flavor. You can add them in with the other spices as instructed.
- You can use bone-in pork chops, but make sure to dig any bones out before serving.
- While we love the cheesiness of this dish, if dairy is a concern it can absolutely be omitted without an overall loss of flavor.
- This recipe makes a lot and easily feeds a hungry crowd; however, don't be surprised if you have leftovers. I save those to repurpose into another dinner later in the week.
