Classic Southern Fried Pork Chops

pork chops

Dijon mustard

granulated garlic

onion

tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

tsp cayenne pepper (plus more to taste)

bacon strips

vegetable oil

all-purpose flour

In a small bowl, combine granulated garlic, onion, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.

Pat dry pork chops with a paper towel. Using your hands, rub Dijon mustard all over the pork chops.

Sprinkle the spice mix and evenly rub into the chops on each side.&nbsp;

Dredge in flour really well on both sides and set aside.

Preheat a large, about 12-13-inch, heavy (cast iron is recommended) frying pan over medium-high heat.

Fry the bacon strips, on both sides, until crisp and fat has rendered out. Remove the bacon and reserve for other uses.

Add vegetable oil to the frying pan. Let the oil warm up to cooking temperature, about 325F.

Dredge each pork chop in flour again, making sure each side is covered really well. Place in the frying pan and cook over medium heat about 4-5 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork reached 145F. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops you are using.

Remove pork chops, place on a platter and cover with foil and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Garlic Butter Pork Chops

4 1/2- inch pork chops (bone-in)

garlic (minced (or 1 tablespoon of minced garlic from a jar))

thyme

Heat a heavy bottomed pan over medium high-heat and add the olive oil.

Season the chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the oil begins to lightly smoke, add the pork chops. (You may need to cook 2-3 at a time.) Do Not move them around. Let them cook for four minutes, then flip them and cook for another four minutes.  Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (145°). Turn over and continue cooking until the pork chops reach the correct internal temperature. Remove pork chops from the pan and keep them warm.

Melt the butter in the skillet and add the garlic and herbs. Let the garlic lightly brown.

Add the pork chops back into the pan and spoon the butter over the chops. Cook for two to three minutes, flip the pork chops over and spoon the butter garlic mixture over the other side.

Remove from the heat and serve.

Very tasty!! Made for my family last night and after just one bite, my husband declared it to be in rotation. Took awhile to cook as I opted for boneless and they were kinda thick, but worth it!
