Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 smoked lamb chops (note you may use 2 cups cubed lamb) or 4 slices of uncooked ham (note you may use 2 cups cubed lamb)
• 4 large potatoes, peeled, thick slices
• 1 large bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme (with cubed lamb)
• minced garlic
• 2 cups sauerkraut (16 oz)
• 2 cups apple juice

Recipe

• 1 in a large roaster or crockpot, layer lamb chops or ham, sliced potatoes, sauerkraut, and apple juice.
• 2 preheat oven 375° or crockpot low heat.
• 3 cover and cook in oven for 1 hour.
• 4 cover and cook crockpot for six hours.
• 5 note: if you have smoked lamb chops, no other seasoning is needed except the bay leaf and pepper. if the lamb is not smoked you can add a few drops of liquid smoke and the thyme and also crushed or minced garlic. potatoes tend to "grab" the garlic flavor so add towards the end of the cooking period.
