Bacon Mushroom Pork Chops

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of bacon, diced
  • 4 boneless thick cut pork chops
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 8 oz pre-sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 oz shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the pan.
  2. Place each pork chop between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. In the same pan with the bacon grease, cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring they are browned on both sides. Set aside when done.
  4. Drain excess grease from the pan, leaving about a tablespoon. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes until they are browned and tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and cooked bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Serve the creamy mushroom sauce over the cooked pork chops. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Enhancements:

  • To add a depth of flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • For a touch of acidity, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or chicken broth after sautéing the mushrooms.
  • Incorporate more vegetables like spinach or roasted cherry tomatoes into the sauce for added color and nutrients.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese such as Gruyère or Gouda for a unique flavor profile.
  • For a crispy texture, dredge the pork chops in flour or breadcrumbs before cooking.
  • Serve the dish with a side of roasted potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
