Description

This one-skillet pork chop dinner includes tender pork chops simmered with bacon, onion, and potatoes for home-style cooking at its simplest.

Ingredients

1/4 pound bacon
4 pork chops
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slices
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1 Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through but not crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; leave grease in the skillet.
2 Sear pork chops in reserved bacon grease over medium-high heat until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
3 While the pork is searing, chop bacon into small pieces.
4 Add potato and onion slices to the skillet along with bacon. Pour in water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until potaotes are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
