Instant Pot Pork Chops with Sauerkraut, Apples & Bacon

Step 1

Using the sauté setting on your Instant Pot, add 1-2 Tbs. oil; when the oil is hot, add the chops, browning them on both sides, working in batches, if needed, so you don’t overcrowd the pot. Set the browned chops on a plate as you work.

Step 2

Add the onions, bacon, carrots and garlic to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the drained sauerkraut and apples to the pot, along with the chicken broth; top with the reserved pork chops.

Step 4

Lock the IP lid into place, then use the manual button to choose 15 minutes on the High-Pressure setting, bringing the IP to full pressure. When the timer sounds, use a 10-minute natural release, followed by a quick release if any pressure remains in the IP.

Step 5

To serve, place warm mashed potatoes on plates and top with sauerkraut, apples, and pork. Enjoy!
