Serves 4 // 674 calories, 47g fat, 56g protein, 2g net carbs
6 slices bacon, diced
2 small onions, thinly sliced
4 cups sliced mushrooms (about 12 oz. whole mushrooms)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 bone-in pork chops, 1-inch thick (approx. 2 lbs.)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup organic chicken broth
1 cup organic heavy cream
In a large saute pan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove to a bowl, reserving bacon grease.
Add onions and mushrooms to bacon grease and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 15 to 20 minutes, until onions are soft and golden brown. Add onions and mushrooms to bacon in the bowl.
Increase heat to medium high and sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Add chops to pan and brown on the first side 3 minutes. Then turn chops over and reduce heat to medium, cooking on the second side until internal temperature reaches 135F, about 7 to 10 more minutes. Remove to a platter and tent with foil.
Add broth to pan and scrape up any browned bits. Add cream and simmer until mixture is thickened, 2 or 3 minutes. Return onions and bacon to pan and stir to combine.
Top pork chops with onion, mushroom, and bacon mixture and serve with whipped cauliflower.
