Description

Juicy pork chops smothered in a creamy bacon and mushroom sauce make for an irresistible meal. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

For the Sauce:

  • 4 slices of bacon (chopped)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

 

Instructions

Prepare the Pork Chops:

  1. Season the Pork Chops:

    • Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. Sear the Pork Chops:

    • Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  1. Cook the Bacon:

    • In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

  2. Sauté the Mushrooms:

    • Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Deglaze the Pan:

    • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

  4. Add the Cream and Cheese:

    • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard (if using), and thyme. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine and Finish:

  1. Return the Pork Chops to the Skillet:

    • Add the seared pork chops back into the skillet, along with the cooked bacon. Spoon the sauce over the chops. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  2. Serve:

    • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a splash of white wine when deglazing the pan.
  • Bone-in pork chops provide extra flavor and stay juicier during cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
