Ingredients

Scale

Pork Chops:

  • 4 boneless pork chops (about ½-inch thick)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Egg Wash:

  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup milk

Bacon Gravy:

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork Chops: In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  2. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  3. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg mixture, then dredge again in the flour mixture. Set aside.
  4. Fry the Pork Chops: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
  5. Fry the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Remove and set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Make the Bacon Gravy: In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  7. Leave about 2 tbsp of bacon grease in the skillet. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  8. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the crispy bacon back into the gravy.
  9. Serve: Plate the pork chops and generously spoon the bacon gravy over the top. Serve with mashed potatoes or your favorite sides.
