Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy: A Southern Comfort Classic

Serve the pork chops immediately while the gravy is warm and rich.

Store leftover pork chops and gravy separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the skillet or microwave.

Variations:

Add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy for a spicy kick.

For extra flavor, mix in some sautéed onions or mushrooms into the gravy.

Use boneless pork chops if you prefer, but adjust the frying time slightly to ensure they’re cooked through.

FAQ:

Q: Can I make the gravy ahead of time?
A: While it’s best served fresh, you can make the gravy ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just reheat it gently and whisk in a little milk to bring it back to the right consistency.

Q: How can I make the pork chops extra crispy?
A: To get an even crispier coating, try double-dipping the pork chops—coating them in the flour mixture, dipping in the egg mixture, and coating them again in the flour mixture before frying.

Q: Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
A: Yes, you can substitute turkey bacon, but keep in mind that the flavor and texture of the gravy will be slightly different.
