2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan to prevent the pork chops from sticking. Arrange the browned pork chops evenly in the pan, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.

3. Prepare the soup: In a separate bowl, prepare the cream of mushroom soup according to the directions on the can. Typically, this involves mixing the soup with milk until smooth and creamy.

4. Pour soup over the pork chops: Once the soup is ready, pour it evenly over the pork chops in the baking dish. The creamy soup adds moisture and flavor to the dish, ensuring the pork remains tender and juicy.

5. Drain the sauerkraut: While the pork chops are soaking up the soup, drain the sauerkraut to remove excess liquid. This helps prevent the dish from becoming too watery during baking.

6. Top with sauerkraut: Place a generous portion of sauerkraut on top of each pork chop, spreading it out evenly. The tangy flavor of the sauerkraut pairs beautifully with the rich, savory pork.

7. Season with black pepper: Grind freshly ground black pepper over the top of the pork chops and sauerkraut. The pepper adds a subtle kick of heat and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.

8. Bake to perfection: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the pork chops at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together while ensuring the pork chops cook through to perfection.

9. Optional: Add dumplings: If you’re craving an extra indulgent touch, consider topping the dish with dumplings. After the initial 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil and add the dumplings to the pan. Continue baking until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.

10. Serve and enjoy: Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy the delicious flavors of this Pork Chop Sauerkraut Bake!
