Smothered Pork Chops

Directions:

Mix together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper, salt, and black pepper in a pie plate. Coat pork chops in flour mixture; shaking off the excess.
Over medium heat in cast iron skillet, melt bacon fat and oil together well. Gently lay pork chops in skillet; fry about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove pork chops from skillet.
Mix ½ cup flour mixture and buttermilk together well; pour into skillet, stir into hot fat; bring gravy to boil then reduce heat to simmer until nice and thick, stirring often.
Return pork chops to skillet; cover with gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes or so until pork chops are cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper; garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if using, before serving
