Make the Bacon Gravy:

  1. Cook the Bacon: In the same skillet (remove excess oil, leave about 2 tablespoons), cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside.
  2. Make the Roux: Sprinkle in the flour and stir into the bacon drippings to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes until golden.
  3. Add Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne if using.
  4. Combine: Stir the crispy bacon bits back into the gravy.

Serve It Up

Plate each pork chop and generously spoon the bacon gravy on top. Serve with:

  • Creamy mashed potatoes
  • Buttered green beans
  • Southern-style biscuits or cornbread

This dish pairs beautifully with classic sides and a glass of sweet tea or your favorite comforting drink.

Tips & Variations

  • No bacon? Try country sausage instead for a different take on the gravy.
  • Boneless chops work too—just reduce cooking time slightly.
  • Make it spicy: Add hot sauce to the egg wash or cayenne to the flour mix for an extra kick.
