MeMe's Recipes | Pork Chops and Rice 

I first had rice with cream of mushroom soup about 50 years ago, when I was a 5 yo kid in Taiwan and my dad, who had served with the US Air Force and visited the US, made it on a family beach trip. I loved it, and when we eventually moved to the US and I learned to cook for myself, I tried making the dish many times and could ever get it to the consistency or taste that I remembered, and my dad and I didn't turn out to be close before he died, and I never asked how he made it and he never made it again from what I remember after that beach trip. I'm a pretty competent home cook these days and even went to chef school for a while before dropping out, and it never occurred to me to use COOKED rice and just mix the cream of mushroom soup in. I've finally learned the secret to one of my earliest and fondest food memories, from that family beach trip into Fulong, Taiwan, 50 years ago. Thank you.

Every time you say, "Shine for Jesus!", I have to smile. You keep your light shining!

I am from Savannah, Georgia. MeMe you remind me so much of my grandmother, literally! We always had Sunday dinner at my grandmother's house, just like you! My grandmother is 91 and in a nursing home now. She broke her hip and is no longer mobile! The great thing is she taught me at a young age how to cook just like her. The ingredients are important of course, but the MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS TO MIX IN - IS LOVE AND A GRATEFUL HEART FOR JESUS AND FAMILY! Sending blessings to your family from mine.

*ALWAYS* shine 4 Jesus!! 🙌🙌🙌

MeMe, firstly can I say you have a beautiful kitchen. I am from England, & it is wonderful to get meal ideas from different people from all over the world. As a lover of pork chops I can see this going down very, very well once it is cooked up. It also inspires me to use other meats like chicken legs or breasts - the possibilities are endless. Your side dishes could feed an army! I am from North West England, so we are used to your portion sizes. MeMe, thank you for sharing your cooking skills, your kitchen and the extra special gift you have - your beautiful accent. I would listen attentively to you reading the phone book! God bless MeMe to you & your family and friends. Thank you. David.

On rare occasion do I find a channel on RU-vid that is conveying information I feel I need to write down but this is one! I am so glad I found this channel! My great aunt used to make some of these recipes and never left us her recipes. These taste like my childhood! Women like Meme are the backbone of their families and their communities. So much selfless work and dedication. The amount of work and expense for that Sunday buffet, all for the love of family. Thanks so much for these recipes. Now my kids get to enjoy some of the foods my Aunt Nellie made and I grew up on.

Way back in the 70’s I made pork chops, or chicken and rice with mushroom or cream of celery soup, didn’t cook any of it in advance, I just put it in the oven right before we left for church, we were back home in a little over an hour and our dinner was ready to serve. I don’t do many casseroles anymore because I just don’t like the taste of any canned soup, and almost every one of my older recipes calls for canned soup. I do remember those casseroles were always so good, and so easy to make.

I just love her accent and her way of explaining her steps…can’t wait to try this recipe. She reminds me of the people from the “greatest generation “ who I deeply admire. My neighbor, who I adored, Ms Emily Highnote passed away a week ago and she was a true Southern Lady like this person. Ms Emily’s nephews write Steel Magnolias and played the part of the preacher in the movie, and Ms Emily had a very small part. I grew up outside of Atlanta and am very proud of my Southern Heritage…thank you for sharing and keeping great memories alive. 😊

“I hate that ya can’t taste this but you’ll just have to make it yourself now”😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ love this , looks delicious

Lucky family to have such an awesome Meme! That was an amazing spread!

MeMe is so cute. I no longer have my grandmothers but have plenty of great memories of them. Thank you for placing a smile on my face. God bless you

Always shine 4 Jehovah and Jesus too

My goodness that looks more like a homecoming spread than a regular Sunday dinner! Looks delicious ☺️

As a native South Carolinian with family here for many generations it's a pleasure to watch your videos and make your recipes! Every Sunday at your house is Thanksgiving!!

I made this last night n my husband loved it. I heard him up in the night sneaking in the fridge eating it. Lol

My mom cooked her pork chops with just salt & pepper & then would add mushroom soup to the pan she cooked the chops in & scrape up the brown bits. She would add water rather than the milk & then add the mushroom sauce over the rice with the chop on top & home grown vegetables on the side, so yummy😋

Oh MeMe, I just found your channel. As a pastor in North Florida, you have truly blessed my heart. This reminds me of my mama and granny and the Sunday spreads we used to have. THANK YOU!!!

I make chops & rice for my wife very often. We love it. A garden salad included makes it a wonderful meal.

I’m 64 years old. My Mother and all of her family is or was from South Carolina. This is without a doubt the food that I remember. From garden to table. Spectacular food. They never used canned anything. It was always homemade.

I just came across your channel for the first time, loved it! What a delicious buffet, prepared by such a sweet and loving lady!

Looks so yummy! I love how you share Jesus too!

Wow! What a Sunday spread. I’m glad I found your channel today. Pork chop casserole ingredients just added to my store list 👍👍

She is great for teaching young women how to cook for their families because what she does is not complicated with all the crazy special ingredients that so many new recipes require.

Thank you Shine for Jesus ❤☕️🍁🍂🙌

Love everything about this! As a South Carolina boy, I am all about the rice, which we grew up eating and love most every day. This is a creative new (for me) dish, so I will definitely have to try it soon. I surely love pork chops too! You are a lovely lady, and your covered dish dinner with all the delectable and abundant sides after church is fabulous, and so much a part of my life growing up that I cherish!

Thank you MeMe that looks so delicious!❤ Jesus says no one can snatch us out of his hand, thank you❤

A true Southerner. God Bless You!

Nothing like that Southern cooking! All looks really appetizing. 😊

Oh my goodness, that's what I call a proper Sunday Supper. 😂❤ It's a pleasure to be cooking with you, Ms. Meme and Ms. Gayleen

I'm from South Carolina also . Love this recipe . You remind me so much of my grandma Bessie and great aunt Annie-Lou.

Bless your heart putting out a spread like that. Anyone on the receiving end of that is truly blessed. That’s a lunch fit for a hard working hungry man. Good home cooked food, nourishing to the body. Mighty fine

Oh what a blessing, Amen. I'm from Australia 🇦🇺 ☺️

Shout out to Gayleen for her excellent camera work! Everything looks great!

Wow, I can’t believe your spread! I hope others brought some of this. My Mom used to make these pork chops and now I am going to make them! Thank you!

You are terrific, I teared up during the entire episode because this was how I was raised! So excited to see good Christian Southern values are still in homes. Thank you again!

You make me miss my grandmother, Sunday's service and the family meal that followed. I pray your family knows what an absolute blessing you are. I bet they do. ❤

That looks yummy. I will be making the pork chops and rice this weekend. Your countertop looks nice with all those plates of delicious food.

My Mom used to make this and sometimes used sausage or hamburger patties when money was tight. We loved it all.

Meme you bring me back in time with all the Southern ladies in my family cooking in the kitchen on Sunday after church. Granny and mom cooked just like you do. Us kids used to pick black berries and granny would make the best pie I had ever eaten ! Her iced tea was super sweet and she always said their is enough sugar in that tea to kill you! Oh I miss those days! Thank you so much meme, God bless you 🙏

I feel so blessed to have seen Mrs. Meme. A southern staple is a together grandma and then some. Praise the Lord. Shine for Jesus for real. Glory!

Those pork chops look outstanding

I love your videos! They remind me of simpler times, learning to cook with my grandmother, and Sunday lunches at my grandparents' home in the 1960's. (I'm a retired teacher like your daughter!) Thank you for sharing your recipes and your love of Jesus with us! You're a blessing!

What a beautiful buffet! These bring back family memories! I love all the side dishes! Every single one of them! Thank you MeMe!

Persons like this are the kind heart and soul of America! This is what makes America the country that it is: strong and 🇺🇸 great! God Bless her, and her family! Thomas!

My Mother used to make this dish however she didn't pre cook the rice or brown the chops. She put the raw chops right on top of the un cooked rice and mushroom soup mixture. About 20 minutes before taking it out of the oven she would uncover the pan to brown the meat. This also works for Chicken.

OMG!!! That’s family reunion food!! She expecting half the town! Lucky people. That food looks glorious. God bless her and those hands that prepared that feast! 😋😋😋😋😋

God Bless you my Sister! I wish you were in Washington State! Oh I could smell those pork chops with the steam rolling off! Yummy!

🤗BEAUTIFUL BUFFET & I love your ending..."Shine for Jesus"❣ ☝🏻We strive to shine for Jesus EVERY day🙏🏻

Holy smokes ME ME. That is a huge spread of delicious food! I wish you and I were related. I would be over all the time. Really looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing and all your hard work preparing these phenomenal meals for your family, and friends!

Ms. "MeMe", I had no idea you were going to cook so many dishes. I love pork chops and rice like that, and I absolutely love Lemonade Pie. Like your daughter, I, too just retired from teaching. You are such an angel.

A sweet granny !! Love from Georgia!!

Oh my I made this this today and it was delicious, thank you for sharing, it’s a keeper in my recipe book

😮 your Sunday Luncheons put my Thanksgiving dinner to shame 😆! The recipe looks simple and delicious 🤤 can’t wait to give it a try 👍🏻😁🙏

My word lady that’s not lunch, that’s a dinner feast ! You must be feeding an army 😊

Hello MeMe you look lovely, what a very tasty recipe delicious meal 😋❤️❤️

Watching these videos brings a smile to my face, and a tear to my eye- it really makes me miss my Mamaw, who was also Christian lady that knew her way around her kitchen! I don’t know this lady’s grandkids personally, but I know for a FACT that they are blessed beyond measure! To still have your grandmother, that not only knows how to cook, but is also a Christian, is greater than any gift that anyone can give you! MeMe I don’t know you personally, but I love your videos, I love to hear you talk, I love your “light”, I just love YOU! Keep doing what you do, and keep shining for Jesus! -Eric Denmark Cascilla, MS

Hi, MeMe! I just found you and this is the first video of yours that I watched. You are a delight! I can't wait to make that pork chop and rice meal. And I love the way you shine for Jesus!

Made your rice in the oven today. So easy and so fluffy. I’m making the pork chops and rice later today. I did add sautéed onion and used chicken broth in the rice. Tasted a fork full, yum. Finished the recipe for dinner tonight. It was a hit. So good.

Oh my!! MeMe, you’re just wonderful!! Thanks and may God bless you!!

My Goodness! I made this tonight for My Wife and I. We are empty nesters so I did 1 and half cups of rice and 3 pork chops. Cooked the rice in the oven like She said! Delicious!! Thank You MeMe!

What a kind hearted thing to do for your family & church members. I will definitely try this recipe for my family of four. Thanks for sharing. May The Creator of Grace continue to bless you forever more.🌸

Oh we ALWAYS had “church meat” right after Sunday church!! ☺️ Basically a beef roast, some potatoes, corn & rice with beef gravy on top!! Ohio here & people up here act strange when I say we put gravy on the rice (not sugar)! My grandpa was originally from Charleston SC so I love to say we are Southern!! You do so well on the camera & a great cook!!! ❤🥰

You look so pretty in your church outfit! And oh my goodness! That Buffet! It reminds me of my own Mamaw's house on the holidays. You do do this every Sunday? The pork chops and rice look delicious. Thank you for showing the reveal after it comes out of the oven. I want to make this. Now I have to look up your rice baked in the oven recipe. Blessings!

My dear sister! I just stumbled across your channel and I just love watching you. My husband and I evangelize but when we are home, I would love to be able to cook big meals on Sunday. My question for you is how in the world do you get that many things cooked for Sunday dinner wow that was a wonderful meal with lotta sides. I think you should do a video teaching us how to cook that many dishes and organize it and still get to go to church on Sunday morning and Sunday night, God bless you my sister enjoy you so much and yes, let’s shine for Jesus Jeanne Ward Franklin Ohio

Great recipe, only thing I do any different, I use Pork Tenderloin instead of bones-in chops. I also add an extra can of mushroom soup spread lightly over the pork again. Always a winner meal. Thanks for sharing! God Bless!

Mrs. MeMe, I've just started watching your videos, and I just love them. You remind me of my granny. She was always so happy in her kitchen, and she taught me a lot. It's so nice that you allow us into your home to teach an give us smiles. I hope that you have a wonderful week. GOD BLESS!

What a spread!!! Absolutely fabulous!

Wooooowww that is an incredible Sunday meal.....

I wish I had family like you. What a spread!

Oh my! I haven’t sat down to a Sunday meal like that since I was in High School! Sadly, if I were there I’d only be able to have a tiny taste of everything before I got full up! Still, I wouldn’t mind trying!! ❤

Thank you MeMe, the pork chops and other dishes look so yummy.

Sunday School and Church . . . That was about a million ears ago . . . That looks so wonderful!

Ok that’s on my list of MeMe recipes to prepare. I’m always trying to find something that I can prepare and bake while in church. 3 hours is perfect. By the way, you look so beautiful 😍🥰 Be blessed!

Oh my, what a lovely after church dinner. Everything looks perfect. Those eating at your table are blessed beyond measure!!

Thank you for sharing this simple but delicious recipe and sharing your Lord and Saviour JESUS Christ. ✝️

All granny’s put their hands almost right in the oil when cooking 😂👏 my Mexican grandma is the same way I swear 😂👍

Your pork chops and rice looks so delicious along with All the other food. Thank you for sharing!

OMG, what a delicious looking lunch/feast!

Miss MeMe, thank you for sharing your fabulous pork chops and rice recipe. May I also say how lovely you look this Sunday. Shine for Jesus. Best, Mimi.

You are just the sweetest. I chuckle at the end of your videos...shine for Jesus. Bless your heart.

Thank you for this recipe. I love learning from older SOUTHERN people because you've had lots of practice! Can't wait to make this!

Hi Ms. MeMe. I am so thrilled that I happened upon your channel. I love baked pork chops, and I love rice. I am so eager to make your recipe. It looks so delicious!!! I have never baked the rice and pork chops together before, but it makse so much sense to do so. Thank you so much for showing us the way that it's done. Bon appetit😊

This allows me to fly back to 60s and 70s. Newly married enjoying cooking. The lemonade pie especially. I would make pink and so pretty and good.

Loving this. Sunday lunch.

Love it - I grew up in N. VA as a kid and yes MeMe reminds me of my grandmother & mother and the Sunday lunch spread…..recipe looks amazing!☺️

Looks delicious 😋

OMG Meme! The spread! Good for you. Love family and love to cook.

That pear salad and lemonade icebox pie made me think of my Granny. Sunday dinners are the best!

Thank you kindly for sharing your delicious looking recipe. I love how you show the process step by step and provide the extra tips in case any portion adjustments are needed. But mostly, I appreciate the love you pour into your food, sharing your stories about going to church, family and friends!

You remind me so much of my mom and grandma! Right down to the pear salad 😊. I have many fond memories of Sunday lunch because of them. I lear to make pork chops this way from them, and rice was always a staple in our household. I’m definitely going to try this recipe out this weekend!

Oh My Gosh! I'm Drooling 🤤 Look at all that Good Food!

I want to come for Sunday lunch! My grandmother would cook just like this on Sundays, and I have wonderful memories of childhood. Three families gathered every Sunday and what a spread we enjoyed. Life happens at the table! I’m so grateful to have your cookbook, MeMe! ❤️🙏❤️
