SMOKED PORK CHOP & SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE
I searched 8 pages of Sauerkraut recipes and not one had smoked pork chops so I made up this recipe and - well, not bragging, but it tickled our taste buds! This is not a recipe for a true sauerkraut lovers as it is very mild re the sauerkraut. Hey you non "Kraut" lovers you may love it! Instead of tomato juice you may substitute wine, chicken stock or apple juice, This recipe would cook nicely in a crock pot too I think. I would layer it the same and cook on low for 6 hours.

Tips:
- To achieve the best smoky flavor, use a smoker with wood chips or chunks of your choice. If you don't have a smoker, you can use a charcoal grill or even your oven.
- Cook the pork chops over indirect heat to prevent them from drying out. If you're using a smoker, maintain a temperature between 225-250°F (107-121°C).
- To ensure that the pork chops are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- While the pork chops are smoking, prepare the sauerkraut, potatoes, and applesauce. You can either use store-bought or homemade sauerkraut and applesauce.
- To add a sweet and tangy flavor to the sauerkraut, add some brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and caraway seeds. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots or onions, to the sauerkraut.
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender, then mash them with butter, milk, and seasonings. You can also roast the potatoes in the oven for a crispy texture.
- Serve the smoked pork chops with the sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and applesauce. You can also add a side of green beans or a salad.
Conclusion:
Smoked pork chops with sauerkraut, potatoes, and applesauce is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a hearty meal. The smoky flavor of the pork chops pairs perfectly with the tangy sauerkraut and the creamy mashed potatoes. The applesauce adds a sweet and refreshing touch to the dish.
