Ingredients

2 lbs boneless pork loin
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
salt and pepper
4 lbs sauerkraut
1 lb kielbasa, cut into 3-inch piece
1 -2 apple, medium to large, chopped

Steps:

Preheat the broiler in the oven. Place the roast in a roasting pan, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme leaves (hubby not a fan of thyme, I used parsley), and season with salt and pepper.
Place under the broiler for 10 - 15 minutes, until lightly browned in several places.
Place 2 lbs of the sauerkraut in the slow cooker.
Place the roast in the center over the sauerkraut, topped with apples.
Optional: Add quartered red potatoes, and thin sliced carrots.
Arrange kielbasa pieces around the edges of the crock.
Cover with remaining sauerkraut.
Cover. Cook on High for 6 hours.

Tips:

Use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is naturally fermented and does not contain any preservatives.
Rinse the sauerkraut before using it. This will help to remove any excess saltiness.
Brown the pork loin before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to seal in the juices and give the meat a nice flavor.
Add some vegetables to the slow cooker along with the pork loin and sauerkraut. This will help to add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
Cook the pork loin and sauerkraut on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Serve the pork loin and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
