Chops n' kraut

I think sauerkraut is either something you love or hate. Tim could eat it day and night :)

What you'll need:

• 6 - 8 thick cut pork chops
• 2 lb sauerkraut
• 1/4 c tomato paste
• Dash of paprika
• 2 c water
• Salt & pepper to taste

In a skillet brown the pork chops well on both sides in a small amount of fat. Remove chops to a plate but do not discard what's in the pan. Place the sauerkraut in a dutch oven or crockpot. Scrape the pork drippings from the skillet over the top of the sauerkraut. Stir in the tomato paste and paprika. Top with chops and add the water and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour or until the pork chops are tender. Feeds 4 - 6.

Cost:

pork chops - $3.50

tomato paste - $0.50

Total - $6.39
