Simplified Choucroute Garni for Crock Pot (Pork Chops&sauerk

Submitted by PeytonandKaylansMama

"This is a much more simple and quick version of this dish. Don't be afraid of the sauerkraut it mellows after a long period of cooking. I photocopied this recipe from Family Circle Mag. My hubby and I loved it, it's a keeper. SOOOO Easy, I put it on in the morning before church and didn't touch it until dinner. My pork chops were not able to be sliced as per directions though (they were so tender they fell right apart!)."

2. Coat slow cooker with nonstick spray. Layer potatoes, pork chops, kielbasa, apples and sauerkraut (in that order). Season each layer with spice mix. Pour wine over top of sauerkraut.
3. Cook 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. Stir in thawed peas and cook additional 30 minutes.

Good! I probably would leave out the potatoes next time. I was worried that it would be too dry so I added some applesauce. I used 4 1- 1 1/2 inch boneless pork chops. Cooked on high for 5-6 hours.
