Southern Style Pork Chops

I found this recipe on Pinterest and it is an easy dish to make on a weeknight.  It definitely is one of those recipes where you start to make it to realize that it is not so healthy.  I guess the Southern Style in the recipe title should have given it away.  But you know, you live once, so why not enjoy some butter and bacon once in a while?
