## 👩🍳 How to Make It
### 1. **Prepare the Pork Chops**
In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
### 2. **Coat the Chops**
Dip each pork chop first into the egg mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to adhere.
### 3. **Fry the Pork Chops**
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the pork chops 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F / 63°C). Remove and keep warm.
### 4. **Make the Bacon Gravy**
In the same skillet, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon bits and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and golden. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the crispy bacon back into the gravy.
### 5. **Serve**
Pour the bacon gravy over the pork chops and serve immediately.
