Hi everyone, welcome to Katherine's Plate
Guess what's on my menu today? Alright, it's pork chops, sauerkraut, with potatoes and carrots
Y'all, I grew up with this dish and I like it, so I make it for my family
When I first was going to make this for my family years ago, my husband was like, uh-uh
sauerkraut and pork chops, not happening. But I can guarantee you after I made it, he likes this dish
So we're going to go ahead and we're going to make it. We're going to start making the potatoes and carrots
So I have a stick of butter, I've got my baking dish and I'm just going to rub this all over it
This will keep the potatoes and the carrots from sticking on it. Okay
Now we're going to take our potatoes. These have been washed already, so these are about small potatoes and I've left the skins
on them. And I'm just going to cut them down on the long side
Okay, now I'm going to go ahead and lay these on the pan, bottom sides down
Now we're going to do the carrots. And you want to take off the tip
And with the big carrots like that, you can cut them in half and then all you want to
do is just lengthwise give them a cut. And then you're going to lay those in there also
Okay, now we're going to do salt and pepper
And then we're going to pour some beef broth on that. I've got my salt and I'm going to put in pepper
Now we're going to take one can of beef broth and pour it all over the top of this
Make sure it all gets some. So we want that flavor all through this
Okay, now we're going to just put some pats of butter on this
One right there, right there, right there, and maybe just one more
One in the salt. There we go, right there. Alright, now what we're going to do is we're going to cover this with some tinfoil
We want to give it a little bit more color so we're going to add some parsley to that
There we go. We're going to cover this one up. Alright, so the first thing we're going to do is drain our sauerkraut because there's
a lot of liquid in there and we don't want that on top of our pork chops. So what I did was when I opened up the jar, I kind of went to the sink and just poured
a lot of that juice out. And then I'm coming over here, I've got a bowl with some paper towels in there and I
am just pouring in this sauerkraut here. Now it doesn't have all of that juice in there
And then we'll just kind of pat it, push on it, get all that juice out of there because
you kind of want it dry before it goes in the pan. Okay, so now I've picked up the paper towels that have sauerkraut in it
I'm just squeezing. Look at all that juice. We don't want that in the pork chops. So I'm going to squeeze and get it all out
Alright, cover. Okay, so the first step, we're just going to butter the bottom of this baking dish
This is your flavor. It keeps everything from sticking to it. I'm going to take all of our sauerkraut that we have drained out, all the liquid from
and we're going to put it in our baking dish. I love the smell of sauerkraut
I know this is a preference. Alright, now we're going to just kind of even it out all over the bottom
Make sure it's all covered with the sauerkraut. Alright, now what we're going to do is we're going to salt and pepper the top of this
I think I saved it from the butter earlier. It fell in. Whoops
Put some pepper in. Okay, now we're going to put our pork chops on top of this
The bottoms of these will pick up the salt and pepper on the sauerkraut
So we're going to flavor the bottom. There's definitely some leftovers in here, which is good
Because people like to come home and grab something out of the refrigerator, especially leftovers
In this house anyway. Okay, so we've got them all in a nice little line there
We're going to salt and pepper the top of these. We're going to cover with some tin foil
Alright, both of these are going to go into the oven that's been preheating at 350 degrees for one and a half hours to two hours
One and a half hours to two hours. So I will see you back here
Alright everyone, I've just pulled out my pork chops and sauerkraut and my potatoes and carrots and we're going to give this a try
Oh, they smell so delicious. And look at the potatoes and carrots
So we're going to plate this up. We've got pork chops. And our sauerkraut
And our family's home. They know when to come home. We're going to put a few of these carrots on here
Oh, look at that. And we have our potatoes and onions. Oh, I love it
Alright, we're going to give this a try. Mmm
And with the sauerkraut. Oh. Yes, this takes me back to when I was a child
