Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

DRESSING:
4 pork chops
1 (32-ounce) container sauerkraut, drained
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1/2 cup chicken stock, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 dollops butter

Steps:

In a bowl, combine everything but pork chops and a 1/4 cup of chicken stock to make the dressing. Layer in a crock pot starting with a layer of dressing, then chops, then dressing, chops, and finish with dressing. Add chicken stock on top with a couple of dollops of butter. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Gently stir the mixture in the last hour of cooking just to make sure the flavors have melded.

Tips:

For a more tender pork chop, use bone-in, loin chops. Sear them in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker to develop flavor.
Add a layer of sliced apples or pears between the pork chops and sauerkraut for a touch of sweetness.
If you like your sauerkraut a little tangier, rinse it before using.
For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spätzle.
