Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy

Ingredients:

For the Pork Chops:

4 bone-in pork chops

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp paprika

Oil, for frying

For the Bacon Gravy:

4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

½ tsp black pepper

Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. Marinate pork chops in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for extra tenderness).

2. Mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each chop until fully coated.

3. Fry in hot oil (350°F / 175°C) for 3–4 minutes per side, until crispy and golden. Remove and keep warm.

4. For the gravy: cook bacon until crisp, remove, and leave drippings in the pan. Whisk in flour to form a roux, then slowly add milk. Stir until thickened. Season with pepper and salt. Add bacon back in.

5. Smother fried pork chops with rich bacon gravy and serve hot with mashed potatoes or biscuits.
