Make this tender pork roast and sauerkraut in your slow cooker for a comforting, flavorful meal with minimal effort. This recipe uses apples and caraway seeds for a classic taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb boneless pork shoulder roast
  • 1 (32 oz) bag sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 large apples, cored and sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the drained sauerkraut and sliced onions in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the pork roast on top of the sauerkraut mixture.
  3. Scatter the sliced apples over the pork roast.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, brown sugar, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the pork and surrounding ingredients in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the pork roast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauerkraut mixture.
  8. Serve hot. This is a great New Year’s Day Pork Meal for good luck.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, sear the pork roast on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker.
  • If you prefer less tang, rinse the sauerkraut lightly before using it in the recipe.
  • Serve this hearty sauerkraut dish with mashed potatoes or rye bread to soak up the juices.
