Porkolt (Hungarian Stew) Made With Pork recipe 

Tasteful stew Törkölt smells like paprika and bell peppers. Easy to make with minimal pieces. After browning, dice boneless pork chops to save time. Salt can be added to stew from canned tomatoes. Real Hungarian paprika works best. We like noodles, but galuska or rice work too.

Return some bacon drippings to the skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops on both sides in hot drippings in batches. Add bacon drippings to batches as needed. Use a paper towel to remove grease from pork chops on a chopping board. Mix bite-sized chunks into bacon mixture.
