Pork chops and Smoked sausage
Step 3- Cut 1 or 2 pounds D&D smoked sausage. Rinse pork chops with cold water. Pat each pork chop dry with napkins and place into 11 x 17 inch baking pan. Lightly sprinkle Salt, Black pepper, Chef Paul’s Poultry magic, Onion powder, Garlic powder, and Zatarain’s crab boil onto both sides of pork chops. Once done place chops into a bowl and cover with a lid. Place into fridge and let marinate for 4 hours or overnight. Once the marinating is completed, remove pork chops out of fridge and let sit out for 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow them to come to room temperature before frying. Make sure you do this before frying them.


Egg mixture
Step 4- Add 3 or 4 large eggs (Room temp), and 1 teaspoon Zatarain’s crab boil or Tony Chachere’s creole seasoning into a medium sized bowl. Stir with whisk until combined and set aside. You can do this step just before frying Pork chops.

Stir all ingredients together and set aside.

Stir all ingredients together and let simmer for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.

Step 10- Add corn kernels and smoked sausage. Stir all ingredients together and let mixture come back to a simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture thickens more. Do not cook no more than 7 minutes or the kernels will become overcooked. Turn fire off and add 3 tablespoons salted butter and let melt. Stir and cover pot with lid.

Step 11- Add 1 1/2 or 2 quarts water into a medium sized pot and let come to a simmer. Add 2 cups rice and stir. Let simmer for 7 to 8 minutes. Once done taste your rice to see if it’s at your desired texture. Add rice into a mesh strainer and rinse with cold water. Transfer strainer back on top of pot and cover with lid. Let rice set for 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the water. From there it’s ready to be served.
