Pork and Sauerkraut Bake

This is a simple casserole that everyone in my family LOVES! Layers of tender potatoes, tender pork chops and zesty apple sauerkraut!

Ingredients :

  • 1 ¼ pounds potatoes peeled and thinly sliced, about 2 large
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 boneless pork chops or bone in, 1″ thick, see notes below
  • 3 cups sauerkraut drained
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 1 granny smith apple peeled and thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon caraway seeds optional

Directions :

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place potatoes and butter in a 9×13 pan. Toss with garlic powder and salt & black pepper to taste.
  • Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Brown over medium high heat, about 3 minutes each side.
  • Meanwhile, combine sauerkraut, brown sugar, onion, granny smith apple and caraway seeds in a bowl.
  • Place ½ of the sauerkraut mixture over the potatoes. Top with browned pork chops and finally remaining sauerkraut mixture. Cover tightly with foil.
