Pork Chops with Bacon and Cabbage

Ryan got me a subscription to Everyday Food for Christmas last year, which I have loved. This recipe was in there, and we really thought it was really tasty. It's one of those recipes that actually looks like the picture when you make it yourself at home, so I felt really fancy. And I have been trying to venture a little out of the ordinary chicken dinners.

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 strips bacon, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds), cored and cut into 8 wedges
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk

1) Preheat oven to 400. Set a large roasting pan across 2 burners over high heat;add oil and heat. Season pork with salt and pepper; brown on one side, 3 to 5 mins. Flip and cook 1 min more. Transfer to plate.

2) Reduce heat to med. Add bacon; cook until golden, about 5 mins. Add onion; cook until softened, 5 mins. Add cabbage, cut side down and cook till light golden, about 6 mins. Flip and cook until slightly tender,about 3 mins.

3) Add flour and stir till coated. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly till thickened, about 4 mins. Season with salt and pepper, then nestle chops in sauce.

Transfer pan to oven . Bake until pork is cooked through, about 10 mins.
