Crispy, golden-brown fried pork chops smothered in a rich and creamy bacon gravy—pure Southern comfort food!
Ingredients:
4 bone-in pork chops
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Bacon Gravy:
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
Place pork chops in a shallow dish and pour buttermilk over them. Let sit for 30 minutes.
In a separate dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dredge pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then fry for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
For the gravy, cook chopped bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter, then stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
Stir in crispy bacon and serve the gravy over fried pork chops.
