Pork Chop Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick. Stir in cheddar cheese and butter before serving.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Cook the Brussels Sprouts

   In the same skillet with bacon fat, add halved Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until tender and caramelized. Stir in crumbled bacon before serving.

4. 4

   Cook the Pork Chops

   Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

5. 5

   Finish with Pork Jus

   In the same skillet used for the pork, add the pork stock or jus. Bring to a simmer and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Reduce slightly, then serve over the pork chops.
