- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth (optional for thinner sauce)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 2 tbsp butter (for searing pork chops)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions: - Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
- Sear the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, sliced mushrooms, and chopped onions. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth (if using) to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes, allowing it to thicken.
- Return the Pork Chops: Add the seared pork chops back into the skillet, along with the cooked bacon. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and allow everything to simmer together for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C) and the sauce is thick and creamy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the pork chops with the creamy bacon mushroom sauce on top.
