Alright, let’s talk about makin’ some pork chops and sauerkraut in that slow cooker thingy. You know, the one you plug in and it cooks all day? Yeah, that one. I ain’t no fancy cook, mind you, but I can make a decent meal, and this here recipe is easy as pie, even for an old woman like me.
First off, you gotta get yourself some pork chops. Now, I like the boneless kind, ’cause nobody wants to be pickin’ bones out their teeth, right? The store, they got all kinds, but I just grab whatever’s on sale. Six of them should do ya good, specially if you got hungry mouths to feed.
Then comes the sauerkraut. That sour stuff in a jar, you know? Some folks don’t like it, but I say they just don’t know what’s good. It gives the pork chops a real zing! Just dump the whole jar right on top of them chops. Don’t be shy, now. You can’t mess this up, I tell ya.
- Put the chops in the slow cooker.
- Pour the sauerkraut over the chops.
Now, the cookin’ part. That’s the easiest part, really. You just plug that thing in and let it do its thing. If you’re not in a hurry, put it on low for about eight or nine hours. That’s what I do when I go out to bingo or somethin’. Comes back and the house smells amazing! But if you’re hungry and need to eat sooner, put it on high for four or five hours. Just keep an eye on it, you know? Don’t want it to burn or nothin’.
Now, some folks say them pork chops get a little dry if you cook ’em too long. And they’re right, kinda. They ain’t like that pulled pork stuff you see at them fancy barbecues. This is different. But don’t you worry none. That sauerkraut makes its own juice, kinda like a gravy. Just spoon that juice all over them chops when you’re servin’ ’em up. Makes ’em nice and moist. You can also use the liquid to pour over mashed potatoes or white rice, that is really good stuff! My grandkids love it!
Speaking of other ways to cook pork chops, I heard tell some folks put ’em in the oven. Says it makes ’em real juicy. I ain’t tried it myself, though. Too much fuss for me. I like things simple. And this slow cooker way, well, it’s about as simple as it gets. And it frees me up to do what I like and not worry about cooking, if you know what I mean.
Someone told me once that pigs mean good luck or somethin’. Said them Egyptians and Celts thought so too. I don’t know about all that, but I do know a good pork chop when I taste one. And these slow cooker pork chops with sauerkraut, well, they’re mighty good, let me tell ya.
So there you have it. Nothin’ fancy, just good eatin’. Now go on and make yourself some pork chops and sauerkraut. Your belly will thank ya. And if you don’t like it, well, more for me! And I am always happy to share a meal with good company! Remember, cooking should not be complicated at all. The simpler it is, the better it tastes!
Remember, just dump the sauerkraut over the pork chops and let the slow cooker do its magic! You can thank me later!
And make sure you make enough for everyone, because these are so good they will disappear fast!
