A family slow cooker favorite that's easy to put together. The beer enhances the flavor of the sauerkraut and pork. There is no need to brown the pork roast before placing it in the slow cooker. I serve this with scalloped or mashed potatoes.

Time 8h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

32 ounces undrained sauerkraut
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
12 ounces dark beer or 12 ounces ale (I use a dark Mexican beer)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
paprika
4 lbs pork roast, of your choice

Steps:

Mix the sugar throughout the sauerkraut.
Pour undrained sauerkraut on the bottom of your slow cooker.
Next, pour dark beer over sauerkraut.
Blend together the salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Rub spice mixture onto roast.
With fat side up, place pork roast in the middle of slow cooker.
Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or High for 5 to 6 hours.

Tips:

Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure that the pork and sauerkraut cook evenly.
Brown the pork in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure that it gets evenly browned.
Add enough liquid to the pot to cover the pork and sauerkraut by about 1 inch. This will help to prevent the pork from drying out and the sauerkraut from burning.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the pork and sauerkraut for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
Serve the pork and sauerkraut with boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, or spätzle.

Conclusion:

Pork and sauerkraut is a classic German dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork roast or pork chops, and it's also a great way to enjoy sauerkraut. The addition of beer adds a rich, malty flavor to the dish, and the juniper berries add a subtle hint of pine. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, or spätzle, and enjoy!
