Pork Chops and Sauerkraut Cooked in the Crockpot

When the temperature starts to dip down into the 20’s and 30’s here in Pittsburgh, Pa, thoughts of dinner start to turn to yummy pork and sauerkraut cooked right in the crockpot.  It just doesn’t get any easier than that!

You don’t need to brown anything or even get out a pan to make this crockpot pork and kraut recipe.

A delicious layering of brown sugar, onions, and then finished off with just a little butter is what makes this dinner so great.

What to Serve with Pork Chops and Sauerkraut made in the Slow Cooker?

Serve the Pork Chops and Sauerkraut over Mashed Potatoes!

Roasted vegetables – Roasted vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, carrots, or sweet potatoes, can add a healthy and flavorful element to the meal.

Applesauce – Applesauce is a classic accompaniment to pork, and its sweetness can help balance the tanginess of the sauerkraut.

German potato salad – German potato salad is a delicious and tangy side dish that complements the flavors of sauerkraut and pork.

Spaetzle – Spaetzle is a classic German noodle that can be served as a side dish or used to soak up the juices of the pork chops and sauerkraut.

Green salad –  A light green salad with a tangy dressing can provide a refreshing contrast to the hearty pork and sauerkraut.

Pork Chops and Sauerkraut Recipe Tips –

  • We love the Polish Style Snowfloss Kraut because it comes with caraway seeds. We also love that it’s in a glass jar so no need to worry about the metal can.
  • If you use another brand of sauerkraut, just add about 1/2 tablespoon caraway seeds.
  • Brown the pork chops in a little bit of butter before adding to your slow cooker.
  • If you have some non-sauerkraut lovers in your family, the pork chops actually make delicious pulled pork sandwiches. Just shred some of the pork and mix with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • We always serve this dinner over mashed potatoes … how to make the best mashed potatoes.
