JOLEAN'S CROCK POT OLD WORLD SAUERKRAUT SUPPER



Jolean's Crock Pot Old World Sauerkraut Supper image

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



Crock Pot Pulled Pork With Sauerkraut image

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!
