Instructions

Place pork chops in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to coat well.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry pork chops 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
Add butter to the skillet with bacon drippings. Stir in flour to form a roux and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in milk, cooking and stirring until thickened.
Add bacon back into the gravy and season with salt and pepper.
Serve fried pork chops topped generously with bacon gravy

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork chops reach 145°F for safe consumption.
Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, or biscuits for a full Southern-style meal.
Swap bone-in chops with boneless if preferred.
