This unique Rhubarb Pork Chop Casserole combines the savory richness of pan-seared pork loin chops with the bright, tart sweetness of fresh rhubarb.

Note

If using frozen rhubarb, do not thaw before adding to the dish; it will release more liquid during baking.

Ensure pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145ðF (63ðC) for safe consumption.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

For added depth, you can add a splash of apple cider or orange juice to the rhubarb before baking.
