Pork Chop and Sauerkraut Casserole is a hearty, tangy comfort meal where pork chops bake slowly with sauerkraut and seasonings, creating tender meat and rich flavor. 🍖🥬
Ingredients
- 4 Pork chops
- 2 cups Sauerkraut, drained
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 1 Apple, sliced (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tsp Caraway seeds (optional, traditional flavor)
- ½ cup Chicken broth
- Salt and Black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Butter
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Dish
Grease a casserole dish lightly. Spread the sauerkraut evenly on the bottom.
3. Add Layers
- Place sliced onions and apples over the sauerkraut.
- Lay the pork chops on top.
- Sprinkle with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper.
4. Add Liquid
Pour the chicken broth around the casserole and dot the top with butter.
5. Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 45–60 minutes, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
6. Serve
Serve hot with sides like:
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted potatoes

✅ Tip: If you like a slightly sweet balance, add 1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the sauerkraut before baking.
