Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Pork Loin Roast & Kraut

"Simple but tasty slow cooked pork roast recipe. The pork comes out very moist & tender with great flavor. This is a great recipe that you can cook in half the time on high, but mostly I cook it on low when I'm out of the house longer than 6-8 hours. You can also add additional seasonings to fit your tastes, sometimes I add Rosemary or Thyme or Basil or Oregano or Garlic or Onion Powder... etc... This also works well with thick cut pork chops too instead of loin roast."

directions

  • Coat bottom of crock pot with olive oil then add the 3 thick slices of onion.
  • Place roast on top of the onion slices (onion makes a little shelf for roast so it does not stick to bottom of crock). Season pork as desired, insert garlic cloves randomly into meat then coat entire roast with "Saucy Susan" (if you absolutely cannot find "Saucy Susan", substitute with equal parts peach & apricot jelly).
  • Add the can of sauerkraut (undrained) and the broth to crock trying not to wash seasonings & sauce off of roast while adding.
  • Cover with lid & cook on high 4-6 hours or on low 8-10 hours.

  1. I loved it! I used 2 pork tenderloins equally 3.99 lb. I cooked on high for 5.5 hours. I could not find Saucy Susan sauce but I bet it would make it even better. I used apricot jam without missing any flavor. I increased the jam as well. I will mix in 1T (I will play with the amount) minced garlic instead of the cloves. I did not like the taste of the pork more concentrated with the garlic. Yummy!
     
  2. Moist and tender indeed. I made this twice already! It was much better when cooked on low than on high.
     
  3. Very good! My husband had two helpings, which is a rarity. Next time I make it I will use 2 cans of sauerkraut so we will have extra kraut to go with the leftover pork. It is just the two of us, so there was plenty of meat.
     
  4. Oh My God!!!!!! This is even better than your turkey recipe!!!!! This is so easy and the flavors are amazing!!!! Oh My God, thank you so much!!!! Keep the recipes coming@!!!
     
  5. The dinner was yummy! The sauerkraut was savory and sweet! The meat was really tender. A cup of carrots would have added a lot in color and one less vegetable to make for supper. I served this with mashed potatoes, asparagus and three been salad! Enjoy!

<p>Born &amp; raised in Northern NJ and now live in the NJ suburbs of New York City. <br /><br />I grew up on all the traditional Italian meals from my Grandmother's kitchen. Holiday's were parades of food of all kinds, from main dishes to desserts, but mostly I remember Gram's traditional Italian dishes around the Holiday's surrounded by all of our family. <br /><br />I love to cook everything now. I find it great to experiment &amp; try new recipes. Most of all, I love to entertain &amp; host dinners with family, friends &amp; have Holidays at home with my terrific husband &amp; our four legged furry goofball bulldog! <br /><br />===================================== <br /><br />Spring 2008: I was picked for the Pick-A-Chef Spring 2008 Contest by a wonderful chef: Chef #166642 who made my Recipe #293174 and my Recipe #285517 and lastly, my Recipe #287338 <br /><br />The link to the cookbook from that contest is: http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=199542 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br />===================================== <br /><br />July 2008: I was just Z-mailed that I was picked for My 3 Chefs 2008 Cooking Contest by: Chef #829183 who made my: Recipe #307814 <br /><br />She Z-mailed me the link to the cookbook from that contest: http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=213150 <br /><br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/potluckpbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br />=====================================</p>
