The Pork Chop Dream You Never Knew You Needed
Look, we all love bacon. And pork chops? Oh, absolutely. But throw in maple syrup and a Dijon mustard cream sauce, and we’re talking **flavor fireworks**. This recipe is so good it might just make your neighbor peek over the fence, wondering what’s cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 6 slices of bacon (because more is always better)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (real, not that pancake syrup imposter!)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (the fancy kind)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside (try not to eat it all just yet).
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add olive oil to the bacon drippings and sear the pork chops for about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat, add maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and heavy cream. Stir like your life depends on it.
- Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes, then add the pork chops back in.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, letting those flavors mingle like a perfect dinner party.
- Top with crumbled bacon, serve hot, and enjoy the taste of pure happiness.
Pro Tip: This sauce is so good, you might want to double it. We won’t judge.
