I found this recipe because my husband wanted something with pork, potatoes, and sauerkraut. Other than using Spice Islands Garlic Chips and Cholula Hot Sauce Original in place of garlic flakes and BBW Wild dipping sauce, I followed the ingredients and amounts in the recipe exactly. I expected a strong garlic taste from what seemed like a lot of garlic, and perhaps some heat from the hot sauce, but it had a very pleasant, mild flavor. I'm not sure what the fennel seeds and sage contributed to it, but the taste was excellent. The meat was done to perfection and shreds nicely for subsequent use in any recipe you might want to use. The sauerkraut was mild and the potatoes were just the right amount of firmness. I'll use the recipe again for sure.

I did not have or use the sauerkraut, fennel seed, or sage. I used Pam instead of butter for sauteeing the veggies. I used regular yellow mustard in place of the Grey Poupon and left out the garlic flakes. I did cut slits strategically over the roast and stuffed 1/4 cloves of garlic inside. This was so tender and moist and delicious - it could be served in an elegant restaraunt! *****

One word would describe this dish: interesting. I did a search for "crock pot pork loin roast" and this was one of the only ones that came up. First let me say the finished product was good as far as the tenderness and flavor of the roast. The preparation of this dish is what threw me off. I did not think the "deglazing" step added anything. It seemed unnecessary. I also was unclear if I should add the sauerkraut drained, or with all the liquid. I dumped about half the liquid and left the other half in. All in all I may try this again, with some variations, for the roast was very tender and done perfectly.
