Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Sauerkraut
Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Sauerkraut is a fall apart tender pork loin roast with the subtle sweetness of apples and savory sauerkraut.
Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 2-4 lbs Pork loin, trimmed of extra fat (I used 3.5 lbs)
- 1 tsp Each salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp Oil (I used canola)
- 32 oz Sauerkraut, drained
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 1 Apple, sliced (I used a Granny Smith apple)
- 1 cup Chicken broth (1 cup water + 1 tsp bouillon powder)
Instructions
- Coat the pork loin in salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a skillet and brown on all sides, about 2-4 minutes per side.
- Add the sauerkraut, minced garlic, onion, and apple to the slow cooker. Add the browned pork loin on top. Pour in the chicken broth. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove the pork loin and slice. You may get a few slices to stay together, but the meat is so tender it may just fall apart. Even if it falls apart, still slice through the shredded meat to make the pieces easier to chew.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles and enjoy.
