How to Make Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tbsp butter
• Black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Marinate the pork chops in buttermilk for at least one hour. This helps to keep the meat tender and juicy.
2. In a shallow dish, mix the flour and salt together.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

5. Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
6. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the crumbled bacon and stir it around in the melted butter.
7. Whisk in a little flour and cook for about one minute until it turns a light golden color.
8. Gradually add the chicken broth while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the gravy thickens to your liking.
9. Serve the pork chops smothered in the rich bacon gravy.
