Tips:

  • Use a heavy skillet or Dutch oven to sear the pork chops. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the chops from drying out.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they are browned on both sides. This will help to ensure that the chops are cooked through without overcooking.
  • Add the sauerkraut, apples, and broth to the skillet or Dutch oven. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauerkraut is heated through and the apples are tender.
  • Serve the pork chops and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spaetzle.
  • To make the pork chops even more flavorful, you can marinate them in a mixture of beer, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • If you don't have any sauerkraut on hand, you can use cabbage instead. Just shred the cabbage and cook it in the skillet or Dutch oven with the other ingredients.
  • You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as carrots, potatoes, or celery. Just chop the vegetables and add them to the skillet or Dutch oven along with the sauerkraut.

Conclusion:

Bavarian pork chops and sauerkraut is a classic German dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The pork chops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a flavorful mixture of sauerkraut, apples, and broth. The result is a tender and juicy pork chop that is packed with flavor.
