RHUBARB PORK CHOP CASSEROLE

Rhubarb Pork Chop Casserole image

The usual reaction to this casserole is that it's a nice mix of sweet and tart-and an unusual use of rhubarb! I like rhubarb, but I'm not a dessert person. I always thought pies and cobblers shouldn't be the only ways to enjoy it. -Jeanie Castor, Decatur, Illinois
