Juicy pork chops seared with bacon, shallots, and cider sauce. Perfect with creamy mashed potatoes for a tasty meal everyone will adore.
Ingredients:
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch slices (4 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 bone-in pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick (about 2 lb), trimmed of fat
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced shallots
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes, if desired, prepared as directed on package
Instructions:
  • Preheat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Discard the drippings from the skillet.
  • Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Place the chops in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 6 minutes until they are nicely browned and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F. Remove the pork chops from the skillet, cover, and keep warm.
  • Lower the heat to medium and introduce the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the shallots to the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring continuously until they turn a light brown. Pour in apple cider, chicken broth, and bacon, then let it simmer without a lid for 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid reduces. Return the pork to the skillet and warm it up for 1 to 2 minutes until ready to serve. Enjoy with mashed potatoes.
