This pork chop sandwich is made with crispy, thin cut pork chops that are perfectly pan fried on a potato bun and topped with saucy, caramelized onions and crisp cooked bacon.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the Dijon, mayo, honey and red wine vinegar. Stir with a whisk until fully combined. Set aside.
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 ½ tablespoons honey, 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.

Turn off the stove. Using a spoon, remove all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat from the pan to a heat proof bowl or container. Return heat to medium.
Add onion to the drippings in the pan and cook 15 minutes or until golden brown and caramelized, stirring frequently. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
