Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Bacon Gravy:

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Dredge the Pork Chops: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg. Dip each pork chop into the buttermilk mixture, then coat in the seasoned flour.
  • Fry the Pork Chops: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Bacon Gravy: Cook chopped bacon in the same skillet until crispy. Remove bacon, leaving 2 tablespoons of drippings. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve: Pour the bacon gravy over the fried pork chops and garnish with crispy bacon bits.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or green beans for a full meal.
  • Add a dash of hot sauce to the gravy for extra flavor.
