OLD-FASHIONED PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS
I thought it was time to revisit on old-fashioned cooking method: Pan Frying. Is it time to bring it back? Go into any of the wonderful family-style restaurants in the South and order a pan-fried pork chop, and you are served a thing of beauty. For some reason, this no-fuss, easy method has fallen out of favor with home cooks (maybe because most recipes are so vague..."Season pork chop, cook in frying oil until done".) Follow my instructions and you will yield a beautifully browned, moist chop...serve with Macaroni & Cheese and some greens, and you will have a fast, old-fashioned weeknight supper.:)

Steps:
- Combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Pat the chops dry with paper towels. Cut 2 slits about 2 inches apart through the fat on the edges of each chop (Since pork chops have a tendency to curl when cooked at high heat, cutting the slits will prevent this from happening). Season both sides of the chops with the spice mixture, then dredge the chops lightly in the flour (do NOT discard the flour). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the chopped bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve for another use. (if having baked potatoes with the pork chops, serve with sour cream, chopped chives, and sprinkle on the cooked, chopped bacon -- YUM!) Do NOT wipe out the pan!
- Add the oil to the fat in the pan and heat over medium-high heat until just smoking. Return the chops to the flour dish and turn to coat. Cook the chops until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Serve and enjoy!

SKILLET BARBECUED PORK CHOPS
On days I volunteer at church or shuttle between after-school activities, I'm glad this dinner comes together in one skillet. The sauce makes the chops so moist and tender. I also simmer it up with other meats like beef or venison steaks.-Tammy Messing, Ruth, Michigan

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. Thinner chops will cook too quickly and become dry, while thicker chops may not cook evenly.
- Tenderize the pork chops: Pounding the pork chops with a meat mallet will help to tenderize them and make them more flavorful. You can also use a fork to poke holes in the pork chops, which will allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your pork chops their flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful one. A simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will do the trick.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and be raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried pork chops with sweet BBQ sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
