This is my first attempt using new Rival Slow cooker versi-crock pot.....
I put an onion in the bottom ...then added butterfly pork chops with salt and pepper...then added 32 oz sauerkraut w/juice on top of that with about 1/4 cup of brown sugar.......I have it on low setting and plan on cooking about 8 hours...
Do you think this will be good..its starting to smell good right now....any other things you would add?

You're on the right track......if you happen to have any apples in your pantry, pork and sauerkraut and apples are great, the apples lend a great flavor to the entire dish.......There are some great slow cooker recipes on Betty Crocker.com, check them out!!! Enjoy your chops!!! And you'll get to LOVE your slow cooker...........Heck, I have two of them!!!

Adding too much liquid to your slow-cooker will shorten the cooking time and will normally turn your ingrediants into soup. So be aware that you have added the kraut juice and the natural meat juices with the combined onion that too will produce it's own juice., ...Potatos are always a good thing in a crockpot, but they may not cook evenly when just placed on top of the rest of you meal. Potatos would be best on the bottom.
You might put about 2 teaspoons of cornstarch whipped with two onces of water into your pot,...this will help to produce a nice sauce in the end result....
Here's to good eating, my friend :o)

Add a can of chicken broth and maybe a few fresh carrots and small potatoes. The carrots should get some of the brown sugar and the sauerkraut flavor and the potatoes too. Maybe a few cloves of garlic, also. Sounds good so Good Luck.

I bake sauerkraut and porkchops in the oven all the time and love it. Sometimes I add onion. The carmelization of the onions and kraut are a flavor that I like.
I've never used brown sugar though....I can see how it would work well in this dish but sounds too sweet for me.

It sounds great to me! I would make mashed potatoes as a side and a green vegetable.
I have never tried the brown sugar, but use caraway seeds and onion soup mix all the time.

Put what ever you are cooking in chicken broth. It helps give it moisture.

I put green apples (without seeds), gives a tartness to it
