CROCK POT PORK ROAST AND SAUERKRAUT
Throw it in the crock pot on New Year's Eve before you go out, and dinner the next day will be ready; all you have to do is fix the mashed potatoes. Slow, low cooking makes a roast that is very tender. Delicious!! I used to manage a doctor's office, and our Blue Cross rep told me that her family made this every year for New Year's.

JOLEAN'S CROCK POT OLD WORLD SAUERKRAUT SUPPER
This is a German recipe that my Mom made for us every New Year's Day. Although my siblings didn't care for sauerkraut, Mom INSISTED that we eat pork & sauerkraut for good luck on New Year's Day back in the 70's. Well, this is the recipe that we ALL loved, and I handed it down to my kids as well...A true tradition in my family, and a recipe that I found in one of Mom's Crock Pot Cookbooks from 1970, but tweaked just a bit so we all would like it! Truly yummy, totally filling, and the switch-up she made to using "Bavarian" sauerkraut makes all the difference in taste! Both of my ex-DH's love this recipe and brag about it to other people to this day...

CROCK POT PULLED PORK WITH SAUERKRAUT
Surprisingly tasty and the result of a mistake that left me needing to come up with a dinner with super easy prep. Freezer to table. I grabbed my crockpot, took a pork tenderloin out of the freezer stuck it in the pot & free poured apple cider I had on hand over it. Put it on & went to work. Later in the day the meat was cooking well, but for our tastes, I knew I had to kick up the flavor. I only had a few minutes to spare. That's when I came up with the other 2 ingredients. Tossed them in & turned down the heat & went back to work. How simple is that! I don't think I spent 5 minutes altogether!

Tips:
- Choose a crock pot that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably. A 6-quart or larger crock pot is recommended.
- Rinse the sauerkraut thoroughly before using. This will help to remove any excess salt and acidity.
- If you are using fresh sauerkraut, you may need to cook it for a longer period of time. Fresh sauerkraut is more dense than canned sauerkraut, so it will take longer to soften.
- Add your favorite seasonings and vegetables to the crock pot along with the sauerkraut. This will help to create a more flavorful dish.
- Cook the sauerkraut on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer you cook the sauerkraut, the more tender it will become.
- Serve the sauerkraut with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, or pork chops.
Conclusion:
Crock pot sauerkraut is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is a great way to use up leftover sauerkraut, and it can also be made with fresh sauerkraut. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
