Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs (beaten)
½ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Bacon Gravy:
4 slices bacon (diced)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Coat each pork chop in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it again in the flour mixture. Shake off excess.
Step 2: Fry the Pork Chops
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 3: Make the Bacon Gravy
In the same skillet, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Whisk the flour into the bacon drippings and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the gravy for 3-4 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the cooked bacon.
Step 4: Serve
Pour the bacon gravy over the fried pork chops.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or your favorite vegetables.
