Very interesting dish. Neither of us have ever had sauerkraut before and found the flavor very different. I only used half of it instead of the whole can which worked okay for us. After 45 minutes the pork and bacon still looked raw so I cooked it another 30 minutes which browned the bacon well but maybe overcooked the pork a little. I think next time I'll brown the bacon some before cooking and maybe increase the oven temp some. Thanks for sharing a new dish for us. Made for WTTM :)

A perfect entrée for Fall weather. You could even warm some Thousand Island Dressing and pour a little on each serving to make a Reuben-like entrée. I have made this recipe for years and it is a real favorite for cold weather.
