Smoked Pork Chop & Sauerkraut Casserole image

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.

Smoked Pork Chop With Sauerkraut, Potatoes & Applesauce image

This is a throw together, pop in oven & 45 minutes later it's dinner time. I had some left over apple sauce, potatoes and a chop so I created this recipe - it was very tasty so I thought I would share the recipe. I have made this recipe for one serving but increase as many times as you wish. Add more potato if you wish.Could be cooked on the BBQ too

Provided by Bergy

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups wine-cured sauerkraut, drained & squeezed
2 tablespoons coarse grain hot mustard
1 medium potato, cooked, sliced
1 smoked pork chop
pepper

Steps:

  • Place a piece of foil in a baking dish large enough to hold the chop and other ingredients. The foil must be large enough to seal over the top of the chop
  • Place half the apple sauce in the bottom of the dish.
  • Add half of the sauerkraut.
  • Add half the potato slices.
  • Season with pepper.
  • Coat one side of the chop with half the mustard and lay it, mustard side down on the potato slices.
  • Coat the top side of the chop with remaining mustard.
  • Add remaining applesauce, then kraut and top with remaining potato slices.
  • Seal the foil over the top.
  • Bake in 350° oven for 45 minutes.
  • If you wish open the foil to brown the taters for the last 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Bone-in pork chops will add more flavor to the casserole, but boneless pork chops can also be used.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with fresh cabbage and has a tangy flavor.
  • Add other vegetables to the casserole. Diced carrots, celery, and onions are all good additions.
  • Season the casserole to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. Shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese are both good choices.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Smoked pork chop sauerkraut casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork chops. The combination of smoky pork chops, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy cheese makes this casserole a real crowd-pleaser. Serve it with mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
