This was very good. I caramelized the onions after browning the chops, then added the rest of the ingredients. I didn't have apple juice, so I used 2 tbsps of brown sugar and added about 1/4 cup of raisins and 1/2cup of chicken broth (my kraut was too dry) It was wonderful. I served it with mashed potatoes and some cranberry sauce. Will make this again.

This is the one recipe that I have not altered to suit my tastes and was extremely surprised by how well it tastes. If you love saurkraut and are looking for something new you will not be disappointed.

Very good. Not too difficult. Changed the order of cooking. Cooked bacon in pan first. Remove to paper towel. Brown chops in bacon fat. Place in a 9x13. Saute onion and garlic a few minutes until soft. Add applesauce, brown sugar, and sauerkraut to pan, bring to boil. Scrape up all the brown bits. Crumble bacon on top of chops and pour rest of ingredients on top, cover with foil, and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.

Delicious! Made it exactly as they said and the only change i would make would be to make more saurkraut.

This was easy and delicious! I've picked up Bavarian style sauerkraut by mistake and didn't really like the overly sweet flavor. This recipe had some of the same elements but with a much more subtle flavor because it's homemade. I did take the advice of others and used apple sauce (about 1/2 Cup) instead of apple juice, I just didn't think 2 tablespoons of apple flavor was enough. This one is a keeper.

My hubby (born in Germany) absolutely loved this dish. Followed another reviewer's advice by adding sliced potatoes on top of the chops. Covered with the sauerkraut. Only problem I had was that the cooking time was almost 2 hrs. (the sliced potatoes refused to cook!) Would definitely recommend this recipe!

a delicious dish my husband of geman descent has to have on new years day and throughout the year as well. i have made this with pork chops and pork loin, but my favorite is with spareribs. i use applesauce instead of apple juice. i brown the meaty side of cut up ribs in a heavy dutch oven and remove, then saute the onions, then garlc, then add the rest including the sauerkraut juice. i place the ribs back in the dutch oven, cover with the sauerkraut mix, and bake for two hours at 350. the applesauce cuts the tartness of the sauerkraut and mixes so well with the sparerib juices. i serve with mashed potatoes. this is real comfort food.

I used 3/4 cup of applesauce and 2 T brown sugar instead of apple juice (this was suggested in the reviews). ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. And soooo easy. The sweetness takes away the salty flavor of the sauerkraut and it's a perfect accompaniment to pork.
