Craving a hearty, flavorful meal that practically cooks itself? Look no further than this Slow Cooker Pork and Sauerkraut recipe! It's the perfect comfort food for chilly evenings and requires minimal effort, making it a busy weeknight champion.
Simply toss pork shoulder or loin (a cheaper cut works great!) into your slow cooker with a jar of sauerkraut, a chopped apple (optional, for sweetness!), and a few spices like caraway seeds and juniper berries (if you have them!). Add a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra tang. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is fall-apart tender.
The sauerkraut mellows during the slow cooking process, creating a delicious, slightly sour, and deeply savory flavor that perfectly complements the richness of the pork. Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up all the flavorful juices. Enjoy this simple yet satisfying meal!
