Simple Steps to Build the Bake

Part of the fun of casseroles is layering up all the ingredients. Follow these easy steps:

. Brown seasoned pork chops in butter to develop flavor. Set aside.
. Sauté onion, apples and caraway seeds until softened.
. Layer potato slices in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
. Top with half the onion-apple mix, then the sauerkraut.
. Add remaining onion-apple mix. Nestle chops into the kraut.
. Pour in broth. Cover and bake at 350°F for 45-60 mins until pork is cooked through.
. The potatoes soak up all the delicious flavors as the casserole bakes. Feel free to tweak the ingredients to your tastes – add mushrooms, peas, extra seasonings or cheese.

Serving and Storing Leftovers

This hearty bake is delicious on its own, but crusty bread is a nice accompaniment to soak up the tasty juices.

Tightly cover and refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave until hot. You can also reheat the entire casserole in a 350°F oven.

The casserole freezes well too. Let cool completely first, then freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

A few final serving suggestions:

. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley
. Stir in caraway seeds or mustard for more flavor
. Serve with cabbage salad on the side
. Pass around grainy mustard and rye bread
