Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Pour buttermilk into a bowl and let pork chops soak for 10–15 minutes.
Dredge each chop in flour, pressing gently to coat all sides well.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, keeping the drippings in the pan.
In the same pan, fry the pork chops 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
Add bacon fat or butter to the skillet, then whisk in 2 tbsp flour to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in milk to make the gravy, stirring until thick and smooth. Toss the cooked bacon back in.
Serve pork chops smothered in bacon gravy. Don’t skimp!
