Braised Pork Chops With Sauerkraut image

I have been making this recipe for more years than I care to admit to. It's simple to put together and very flavorful. I usually serve with boiled potatoes.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pork chops, 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons lard
4 slices thick-cut bacon
2 lbs sauerkraut or 3 lbs sauerkraut
1 large onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper
3 cups beer

Steps:

  • Melt the butter or lard in a skillet and quickly brown the pork chops on both sides. Place on platter and set aside.
  • Arrange the bacon in the bottom of a large dutch oven or braising pan.
  • Rinse the sauerkraut in a colander and squeeze out as much water as you can. (You can skip this step if you like a stronger flavor). Place half of it on top of the bacon.
  • Place the sliced onions over the sauerkraut and sprinkle with 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  • Arrange the pork chops on top of the onions, and pour in any collected juices.Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the garlic.
  • Add the rest of the sauerkraut, sprinkle with pepper and pour over as much beer as you need to cover.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook one hour. The pot should never get completely dry.
  • Note: I find 2 lbs sauerkraut to be enough, but if you have hearty eaters, you might want the larger quantity. I do not add additional salt.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork chops. The sauerkraut adds a nice tangy flavor to the dish.

I would not recommend this recipe. The pork chops were tough and the sauerkraut was sour.

This recipe was a disaster. The pork chops were overcooked and the sauerkraut was mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops were tough and dry. The sauerkraut was also bland.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork chops turned out great. The sauerkraut was a bit too sour for my taste, but that's just a personal preference.
