Southern Style Pork Chops

Simple, quick and tasty. Something I threw together,
and it surprised me with how great it tasted.
Feel free to remove as much fat
from the pan as you need to but,
the more you leave, the better it tastes!

Ingredients:
2 pork chops
1/2 medium onion (diced)
1-2 slice bacon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup water
salt & pepper

Directions:
In 12" skillet, cook bacon on med hi heat.
Remove bacon from skillet, but leave bacon drippings.
Add 1 TBSP butter and diced onion.
When transparent, remove from skillet.
Reduce heat to medium, lightly salt and pepper
both sides of pork chops and place in skillet.
Brown both sides (approx 2-4 minutes each).
Chop up bacon, and add both
bacon and cooked onion to skillet.
Add 3/4 cup water (add more if you want more gravy),
1 TBSP butter, cover and simmer
until cooked (5-10 minutes -
but can simmer for up to 45 minutes easily).
Just before serving, mix 2 TBSP cornstarch
with cool tap water (approx 1/4 cup).
Place pork chops on plates,
add corn starch/water mixture to gravy/drippings
in skillet and bring to quick boil
stirring frequently to form thick gravy.
