Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Bacon Gravy:
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork Chops:
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In another dish, whisk the eggs and milk together.
- Pat pork chops dry. Dip each pork chop in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating sticks.
- Fry the Pork Chops:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the pork chops. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should be 145°F / 63°C).
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm.
- Make the Bacon Gravy:
- In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon bits and set aside, leaving about 3 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the flour into the drippings and whisk for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the crispy bacon bits.
- Serve:
- Spoon the warm bacon gravy over the fried pork chops. Serve with mashed potatoes or biscuits for a true comfort meal!
