3 tablespoons saved bacon grease

2 cups full-fat milk

# Instructions:
01 -
In one bowl, combine the flour, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt together. Whisk eggs and milk together in a second bowl.

Dunk the pork chop in the flour mix, coat in the egg wash, then cover it in the flour mix again. Do this for each one.

In a pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Fry each pork chop for about 3 to 4 minutes on both sides until golden, and the inside hits 145°F.

Using the same pan, cook the diced bacon until crunchy. Put bacon aside but leave 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.
05 -
Add flour to the bacon grease, stirring for a minute. Slowly pour in milk, stirring nonstop until it thickens.

Stir the bacon crumbles back into the gravy. Add more salt or pepper if needed, and serve the gravy over the pork chops while hot.
# Notes:

To ensure food safety, make sure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

To keep the pork chops warm, place them in a low-temperature oven while you’re making the gravy.
