This recipe is wonderful, but it took me about 10 minutes to realize that this specific creaming/milk procedure involved heat. ;)

So very awesome and the second time I cooked it (and this may seem weird to some people but we are bacon lovers) I added about 6 pieces of very crispy crumbled bacon just before serving and oh my!!!

I made this with cream of mushroom soup made from scratch. I used evaporated milk and half and half for the basic liquid in the soup and followed the pork chop recipe (above). My pork chops were very fatty and I neglected to trim the fat, but still, this was delicious. Served with baked sweet potato and steamed cabbage. I would make this again.
