NEW Years Meal Tradition

Since we have lived in Pennsylvania, we have adopted the yearly tradition of having pork and sauerkraut for the first meal of the year. It’s supposed to bring prosperity and good fortune.

1. Since I’m using pork chops this year; I started by searing my pork chops on the stove for about a minute on each side. I like to sear my pork chops with butter and brown sugar.

2. Then I place about a cup and a half of sauerkraut on the bottom of my crockpot. I sprinkle a little pepper and dried onions over top of the sauerkraut.

3. I had my pork chops on top of the sauerkraut.

4. add a little bit more sauerkraut on top of the pork chops.

5. Then I cook it low and slow for about 5 to 6 hours.#newyearstradition #newyearsmeal #dutchtraditions#dutchmealideas
