🥘 Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Chops

  • Remove and keep warm.

3. Make the Bacon Gravy

  • Cook bacon in the same skillet until crispy. Remove bacon pieces, leaving drippings in the pan.
  • Add flour to drippings and whisk to form a roux (about 1 minute).
  • Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Stir in crispy bacon bits.

4. Serve

  • Pour that rich bacon gravy over the crispy fried pork chops.
  • Garnish with parsley if you like.
