*Use 3/4 lb hot sausage instead of pork chops if you prefer. Heat oil in a skillet that can go into oven; add onions, green peppers, and rice. Saute until rice is translucent. Add sugar and tomatoes, blend. Top with pork chops and then cheese. Bake, covered, in preheated 350^F oven for about 1 hour. Uncover and carefully stir rice mixture after 50 minutes. Yield: 4 servings. Original Post by Jo Merrill Genie 6/12/93 Formatted for MM:dianeE
