Ingredients

For the Pork Chops:

  • Bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)

  • All-purpose flour

  • Garlic powder

  • Onion powder

  • Paprika

  • Salt & black pepper

  • Eggs

  • Milk

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Bacon Gravy:

  • Bacon (sliced and chopped)

  • All-purpose flour

  • Whole milk

  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Bread the Pork Chops:
    Whisk flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
    In another dish, whisk eggs and milk.
    Dip each pork chop in egg mixture, then coat in seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.

  • Fry the Pork Chops:
    Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    Fry chops for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and internal temp reaches 145 °F.
    Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

  • Make the Bacon Gravy:
    In the same skillet, cook chopped bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and reserve 2 tbsp bacon fat.
    Add flour to fat and cook for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
    Gradually whisk in milk. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
    Stir in bacon and season to taste.

  • Serve:
    Plate pork chops and generously ladle gravy over top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, bake instead of fry or use low-fat milk in the gravy.

  • Ensure pork chops are dry before dredging to keep crust intact.
