An easy and delicious way to use up leftover pork. You can also use this recipe with ham, chicken, or beef. You can also use leftover cooked rice if you have it. Use one cup in place of the 1/2 cup of uncooked instant rice and drain the tomatoes. Just heat through and serve.

This was really good. I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh because I didn't have fresh. I used leftover pork chops cut up for the pork and rotel diced tomatoes. Easy to make. My 12 year old said she'd like to make it next time.
