Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (24-ounce) bag baby gold potatoes
- 2 (27-ounce) cans sauerkraut, undrained
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed, (optional)
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the Wesson canola oil.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear on both sides until golden brown.
- Pour 1 cup of water into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Then add the sauerkraut, seared pork chops, and baby potatoes in layers, finishing with a layer of sauerkraut. Sprinkle caraway seeds over top, if desired.
- Cook on low until pork chops are tender, about 8 hours.
Recipe Notes
Alternative serving idea: omit baby potatoes and serve with creamy mashed potatoes on the side, using the sauerkraut juices as "gravy".
