Ingredients

1.5 lbs sauerkraut
4 thick slices of bacon
4 sausages (such as bratwurst or Italian sausage)
4 pork chops
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 tsp caraway seeds
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water, then drain well.
In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the bacon fat, and cook until softened.
Push the onion and garlic to the side and add the pork chops, browning them on both sides.
Add the sauerkraut, wine, chicken broth, bay leaf, caraway seeds, and salt and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
While the sauerkraut mixture is simmering, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a separate skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides.
Transfer the sausages and pork chops to a baking dish, and spoon the sauerkraut mixture over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meats are cooked through and the sauerkraut is tender.
Serve hot, garnished with the crispy bacon.
