• 4 pork chops
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 0.25 pound bacon
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slices

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

Sear pork chops in reserved bacon grease over medium-high heat until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Step 3

While the pork is searing, chop bacon into small pieces.

Step 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.
