Pork Chops With Bacon Onions Food

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tbs. butter in a large skillet over medium heat, evenly coating the bottom of the skillet.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Cook both sides of chops for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. (Note: It is okay if the chops are not completely done, as there is more cooking time to come.).
• Push chops to outside edges of skillet. Melt the remaining 1 tbs. butter in the center of the skillet and add onions to the center of the skillet, sprinkling with sugar.
• Replace skillet cover and cook for 10 minutes, frequently tossing and stirring onions with a spatula. Onions are caramelized when tender and medium-brown in color. My husband prefers cooking them until slightly burned, as the flavor intensifies. (Note: Don't forget to watch your chops to make sure they don't burn.).
• Check chops for doneness before serving. They will be done when a fork piercing the thickest part of the chop draws clear juice. If the juice is pink, cook chops a bit longer until done. (Note: Make sure to watch onions, so they don't burn.).
• Serve pork chops with caramelized onions piled on top.

CRISPY FRIED PORK CHOPS W/BACON ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. I had thick pork loin chops for this recipe, however, I didn't want them thick, so the 1st thing I did was I pounded them out to about 1/4 inch thickness. NOTE: these pounded out pretty big, feel free to split the chops before battering and frying.
• 2. Set up 3 bowls for battering: 1st bowl combine flour and seasonings to taste (with seasoning listed). 2nd bowl beat eggs with 2 tablespoons milk. 3rd bowl Panko bread crumbs with a sprinkle of salt if desired.
• 3. In a large skillet heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over a med/high heat, closer to a med heat than a high heat. Add more as needed.
• 4. Rinse pork and pat dry. Dredge in flour mixture 1st, then dip in egg mixture and last dredge in Panko bread crumbs.
• 5. Fry until a nice golden brown on both sides. Add add'l olive oil and butter as needed. NOTE: You are not deep frying, just keep the pan nicely coated. Remove chops from skillet once done and keep warm in a 170-degree oven. Reserve drippings for gravy.
• 6. Add onions and bacon pieces to the drippings and saute until bacon is crisp and onions are tender. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the flour reserved from battering the chops. NOTE: you can add more seasoning if desired. Continue cooking until bubbly and then add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir until thickened.
• 7. I cooked the egg noodles about 10 minutes before serving time. I did add a little butter to the noodles and I sprinkled a little salt and pepper on them once cooked and drained. You could use rice, mashed potatoes, or your choice of pasta.
• 8. Serve chops over noodles (or mashed potatoes or rice) and spoon gravy over chops. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
