Braised Pork Chops With Sauerkraut

I have been making this recipe for more years than i care to admit to. It's simple to put together and very flavorful. I usually serve with boiled potatoes.

Steps

Melt the butter or lard in a skillet and quickly brown the pork chops on both sides.
Place on platter and set aside.
Arrange the bacon in the bottom of a large dutch oven or braising pan.
Rinse the sauerkraut in a colander and squeeze out as much water as you can.
Place half of it on top of the bacon.
Place the sliced onions over the sauerkraut and sprinkle with 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Arrange the pork chops on top of the onions , and pour in any collected juices.
Sprinkle with salt , pepper and the garlic.
Add the rest of the sauerkraut , sprinkle with pepper and pour over as much beer as you need to cover.
Bring to a boil , reduce to a simmer and cook one hour.
The pot should never get completely dry.
I do not add additional salt.
