Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp Cajun Seasoning Fromhttps://www.roguechef.com/?p=3239
  • 1/2 cup AP Flour
  • 2 ea Pork Chops Bone in
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil I also use bacon drippings for this
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops
  • Combine the flour and cajun seasoning
  • Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, and rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the flour to set.
  • In a heavy skillet, over medium heat, bring the fat and butter to temp; test by dropping a pinch of flour in.
  • Give the chops a shake to remove loose flour
  • Add the chops, and cook for 5 minutes on the first side, should be golden brown and delecious
  • Turn and cook for 5 minutes more; check the temperature, 145 is the recommended internal temperature
  • Serve hot with a slice of lemon, and side with fries.

Notes

Just a quick meal for two or a generous he-man dinner for one.
One can rest the chops for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. And use this time to create a pan sauce for a side dish.  This goes well over potatoes (mashed as well as fried) or freshly baked bread, rolls, or biscuits.
