It’s pretty straightforward. Usually people make it with kielbasa but I had some nice pork chops on hand. Seasoned them with pepper, garlic, dill and thyme. Then once they were just about done put in the sauerkraut with a little water, let them cook low and slow. Then made mashed potatoes separate but there’s nothing wrong with instant. My mom would add peeled apples to the sauerkraut as they cooked since they add a nice flavor.
