“Authenic German Dish”
This is one of my best tasting dishes. I have perfected it to a “T”,
so be sure to follow my directions, you will be pleasantly pleased!
Be sure to use a crockpot bag liner. No mess, no fuss at all 
- 4 center cuts without bone or remove the bone. If you have a super large crockpot, then buy 5-6 chops.
- 4 Chicken Sausage Links bought at Fry’s (I used the apple flavor), cut each link into 5ths. You can substitute with kielbasa or hot dogs. But, I like a certain type of chicken sausage at Fry’s, because it has no nitrates.
- 3 cups Claussen Sauerkraut or your favorite sauerkraut. Claussen found cold in the section with the lunch meat. Be sure to use all the juice that comes with the kraut.
- 2 large potatoes peeled & cut up, not too small.
- 2 carrots, cut up, not too small.
- 1 apple, cut into sections, I used Gala apple.
- 1 small onion, diced.
- Tbsp. minced garlic (in a jar).
- 1/4 tsp. ground pepper.
- caraway seed, few good shakes.
- 1/4 tsp. ginger powder.
- Optional: Very light sprinkle of celery salt. Remember, sauerkraut is salty enough as it is.
Brown chops in a big cooking pot with a bit of heated up olive oil. I like to use a big pot for browning as opposed to a skillet, this way the oil doesn’t spatter all over the stove.
Remove browned chops & place aside for now. Add onion & garlic to the hot pot with a bit more olive oile, cook to caramelized. The reason for cooking the onion & garlic separately in the pot instead of in the crockpot… the carmelization adds a very flavorable taste to the recipe.
Once the onions & garlic are done, add ALL the remaining ingredients, keeping the chops set aside for now.
Add all the ingredients from the pot to the crockpot, keep 1/4 of the ingredients left behind.
Now add the pork chops, then add the 1/4 remaining ingredients on top. No need to add any water.
I cooked it on high for 5 hours. Wash your big cooking pot. When it’s all done cooking, removed the bag carefully, then dump it all back into the big clean pot. Then you can now scoop & serve. I like to remove the potatoes, so that I can mash them down, then I added butter, salt & pepper.
Serve with Applesauce. I buy the unsweetened applesauce, then add my own cinnamon, & sweet-n-low or stevia.
THIS DISH TASTES FANTASTIC! It is going to be our New Year’s Day dinner from now on.
