Mom's Easy Skillet Pork Chop Special

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook and stir until golden in color, 6 to 8 minutes. Add green beans, pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and sugar. Mix well, cover, and simmer until pork is fully cooked and flavors have melded together, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring remaining 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover, remove from the heat, and let stand until water is fully absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Serve meat mixture on a bed of rice and season with salt and pepper.
