hey everyone Welcome to the New Year
0:03

0:06
make pork chops and sauerkraut with
0:09
potatoes and carrots one of my favorite
0:12
beginning of the year recipes it's nice
0:15
and chilly outside this comes together
0:19
really easy in a 9x13 baking dish we're
0:22
going to start loading it up with some
0:24
flavors some ingredients it's only pork
0:28
chops Sauer crack out potatoes carrots
0:32
an onion we've got some butter
0:36
bullion salt and pepper love this dish
0:39
this takes me way back to when I was
0:42
young one of my mom's favorite dishes to
0:44
make for us we're going to go ahead and
0:46
get started with the potatoes carrots
0:48
and onions so we can make that a bed for
0:52
our sauerkraut and pork chops to lay on
0:55
there's different flavors in here and
0:57
each layer will have its own flavor
1:01
y'all ready come on down and let's get
1:03
this one
1:04
started I brought a stick of butter to
1:07
room temperature I'm just going to take
1:08
it out on a plate here we're going to be
1:10
using it throughout the dish but I want
1:12
to get the wrapper and it has butter on
1:16
it there we
1:18
go and what I'm going to do is smear
1:21
this all over 9 by3 baking
1:26
dish my beautiful one that I got for
1:29
Christmas Christmas from my brother and
1:32
his wife
1:34
Donna it's a 9 by3 isn't it just
1:37
gorgeous it's got etchings on it I don't
1:40
know if y'all can see that but it's
1:42
trees oh I just could not wait to make
1:45
something in this dish and this is the
1:46
perfect recipe because everything comes
1:49
together right in this dish here all
1:52
right got it nice and coated as you're
1:55
using butter wrappers once you get all
1:58
the butter out of it you can put it in a
2:00
Ziploc bag and just put it in the
2:01
freezer and then you can pull these out
2:03
and butter your baking dishes as you
2:05
need to I learned that from y'all we've
2:08
got some yellow potatoes or you can use
2:11
red potatoes for this recipe got carrots
2:15
about I got seven of them here that's
2:17
what came out of a bag and two four six
2:21
potatoes they're like about Palm size
2:25
and then we have a very large yellow
2:27
onion that will dice up for that so
2:29
we're going to start with the potatoes
2:30
I've already washed them off gave them a
2:33
good scrubbing we're going to keep the
2:35
skins
2:35
on it's got lot of nourishment in those
2:40
skins now there's going to be some stuff
2:42
happening on the bottom of our baking
2:44
dish so we're going to cut our
2:46
potatoes lengthwise in
2:50
half I'm going to lay them down and I'm
2:52
just going to cut them in half
2:55
again that way we have nice bite siiz
2:59
pieces
3:02
now I'm going to lay them in my baking
3:04
dish with a flat side
3:08
down cuz it's going to caramelize with
3:11
what I'm going to put in the bottom of
3:12
the baking dish
3:14
here we want to make a nice bed of the
3:17
potatoes and carrots we want to cover
3:19
the whole bottom with it if they're
3:21
small like that you can just leave them
3:24
in the halves you don't have to cut them
3:26
if you've ever had pork chops
3:30
with sauerkraut y'all let me
3:37
know now what I want to do is make sure
3:40
that the potatoes kind of go on the
3:43
outside if you're making it for you the
3:45
you can half the recipe and do it in an
3:47
8 by8 or a 9 by9 baking
3:50
dish all right I think that's what I'm
3:52
going to do right
3:55
here I always get the fastest peeler in
3:58
my kitchen it just Glides right through
4:01
the
4:05
carrot guess what y'all don't have to
4:07
watch me peel all of them I'm just going
4:10
to do
4:11
one take off the
4:17
ends we're going to cut that carrot in
4:20
half now if they're stick carrots and
4:22
they're very thin I'm just going to put
4:24
those in just like that if it's a little
4:27
thicker I'm going to cut it lengthwise
4:33
and then put those in bottom side
4:36
down just like that okay let me peel
4:39
these six right here this is such a
4:42
feel-good dish for
4:44
me it's like a bowl of spaghetti and
4:47
meat sauce anything that takes you
4:50
back through your
4:52
childhood I've got all my carrots peeled
4:55
we're going to take off the ends and
4:57
then we're going to chop them up and put
4:58
them into our baking
5:13
dish going chop off a finger all right I
5:17
think these are
5:18
perfect now I'm going to put them around
5:20
the
5:23
potatoes all right now the butter
5:25
underneath will give it a nice flavor we
5:27
got a yellow onion
5:32
now this will cook a while in the oven
5:34
so I am not going to chop up my onion
5:37
too
5:39
small but it's all up to you what you
5:41
want to do just going to take off the
5:44
outer ends the outer
5:45
layer we'll chop this in
5:53
half and I'm probably going to chop it
5:55
in half lengthwise on each side here
6:00
these will melt
6:03
down and then I'm just going to run my
6:05
knife through for big
6:09
chunks there we
6:12
go all right now we're going to scatter
6:15
these all over the carrots and the
6:27
potatoes okay beautiful beautiful
6:30
yes I had the yellow potatoes left over
6:33
from the holidays carrots I had a bag of
6:35
that left over and then we had another
6:37
onion so see there already Pantry
6:40
working right here what you want it's 12
6:42
oz of beef broth to go into the bottom
6:46
of the dish here we're just going to
6:47
cover the potatoes and carrots and
6:48
onions about a quarter of the way up
6:51
that'll help Steam and flavor the
6:53
vegetables down here now I'm going to
6:55
make my own beef broth I've got 12 oz of
6:59
water I'm going to put in about two
7:02
teaspoons or so of this better than
7:04
bullion beef flavor in fact it's a roast
7:08
beef
7:11
flavor all right we got one going in
7:14
y'all this stuff is good nice flavor to
7:19
it all right I'm going to mix this
7:22
[Music]
7:23
together when you use hot water it
7:25
dissolves that
7:27
bullion fast
7:31
once we get that all
7:33
dissolved we'll add in the 12 oz of the
7:36
beef broth that we made or you can use a
7:39
can of beef broth or a box of beef broth
7:41
but just measure it out to 12 oz which
7:44
is 1 and 1/2
7:55
cups there we go okay we're going to
7:58
pour it
8:06
there we go we don't want it to overflow
8:09
the potatoes and the carrots because we
8:10
don't want what we're going to put on
8:12
top of this to sink down and lose its
8:15
flavor okay we're going to add a little
8:17
bit of salt and pepper just to flavor
8:20
the
8:21
vegetables some salt
8:26
here because the bullion has
8:29
salt in it so you just want to be
8:31
careful with that now I've got my pepper
8:34
going in just sprinkle it give it some
8:37
flavor if I would have to say about half
8:39
a teaspoon went on there we
8:45
go
8:48
sauerkraut I have 2 lbs here which is 32
8:52
oz what we're going to do is just drain
8:54
out any excess liquid from here so it
8:56
doesn't distort the flavors we have
8:59
going on on our vegetables there I just
9:01
have a strainer here over a mediumsized
9:04
bowl and I'm just going to add the
9:06
sauerkraut to it see all that liquid we
9:10
don't want that in
9:13
there wanted to show y'all the jar that
9:16
I'm using right here this is a Libby's
9:18
crispy sauerkraut Barrel
9:21
aged
9:26
taste my husband will always get this
9:28
one here because of that Barrel age
9:31
taste in
9:32
there okay I'm just going to squeeze out
9:35
any excess
9:38
juice that's a lot of juice isn't it mhm
9:42
all right once we get that all
9:46
out we're going to bring our potatoes
9:48
and carrots
9:50
over and we're going to place this all
9:52
on
9:53
top got a nice coverage there
10:00
all right we'll just evenly spread it
10:02
out I'm not going to squish don't squish
10:04
just lay it on
10:07
top the sauerkraut flavor will go into
10:10
the vegetables through the top and then
10:12
we got that beef broth on the bottom is
10:14
going to come up to those vegetables
10:16
like that yeah what we're going to do
10:19
now I'm going to crack some black pepper
10:21
on it and then we're going to talk about
10:23
the pork
10:25
chops here we go now I wasn't going to
10:28
put any extra salt on top of the
10:31
sauerkraut because when you look at the
10:33
ingredients it already has it in there
10:35
there is prepared cabbage water salt and
10:39
sodium that's to promote the color of it
10:43
so we don't want to add any more salt I
10:45
am using an eight pack of these Center
10:48
loin
10:50
chops pork chops these are about half an
10:53
inch thick they're
10:54
boneless just going to lay those on
10:56
there right there we're going to get a
10:58
large Skillet and I'm going to put it on
11:01
a medium high heat we're going to give
11:03
them some color we're not cooking them
11:05
we're just going to give them a nice
11:06
hair I got some olive oil I'm going to
11:07
put in the bottom of my pan start
11:09
heating that up about 1
11:11
tablespoon I'm going to go ahead and get
11:12
the pork chops ready I think this is
11:15
going to happen in two batches we're
11:19
going to lock in some flavor so I'll do
11:20
the first four
11:24
here some salt right across the
11:28
top and and some
11:32
pepper come on there we go I'm going to
11:36
place these in seasoning side
11:46
down all right we're going to
11:50
Salt and
11:54
Pepper okay we're going to Brown on one
11:56
side it should take about 3 to 4 minutes
11:58
flip them over about another 2 to 3
12:00

12:01
