New Year's Day Pork and Sauerkraut

Serves 6-8

8 bone-in center-cut Pork chops
4 lbs.  Sauerkraut
2 bottles Lager beer

In a slow-cooker, layer 4 pork chops, then place 2 pounds of sauerkraut on top. Layer 4 more pork chops, followed by remaining 2 lbs. of sauerkraut. Pour in 2 bottles of beer. Put slow cooker on high for about one hour, or until mixture starts to bubble, then turn heat to low. Simmer for about 6-8 hours, or until meat is falling off the bone. Be careful when serving to pull out any loose bones so that you do not serve a choking hazard to your family and guests!
Serve with mashed potatoes.

Helpful hint: You may want to drain and rinse your sauerkraut first. This helps to get the excess saltiness out of the sauerkraut.
