Pork Chops with Blue Cheese Gravy
from LowCarbFriends.com

2 tbsp butter
2 thick-cut pork chops
1/2 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder, or to taste
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 ounces blue cheese crumbles

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Season the pork chops on both sides with black pepper and garlic powder.  Fry the pork chops in butter until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 20 minutes.  Turn occasionally to brown on both sides.  Remove the pork chops to a plate and keep warm.  Stir the whipping cream into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits of meat stuck to the bottom.  When warm, stir in the blue cheese.  Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.  Pour sauce over warm pork chops.
