experiment

We'll see how this turns out. I'm experimenting with some saurkraut seasonings.




Crockpot pork and saurkraut

2lbs saurkraut
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp bourbon whiskey
1/3 cup (approx) packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp dried yellow mustard
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

2lb pork loin or pork roast
pinch salt, pepper, garlic powder
vegetable oil for searing

Add saurkraut, applesauce, cider vinegar, whiskey, brown sugar, mustard and cayenne to crockpot. Stir to combine.

Heat oil in skillet on high heat. Season pork loin with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sear on each side for a few seconds to get some browning. Add loin/roast to crockpot. Cook until done (? 3 hours? maybe 4, dunno, I just put it in) and serve with mashed potatoes.

Sounds great!

It turned out pretty good :)

do you think i could cook this in a skillet and have it done a little faster?

[eve11]

probably. You could do medallions to cook the pork faster, maybe? Also, yesterday we fried up some kielbasa for it which was good too.

PS 2lbs is A LOT of saurkraut!

i have a small tenderloin - I browned it in a skillet and then added half a 2lb bag of saurkraut, maybe half a cup of applesauce, 1/4 cup chopped onions and your other ingredients (though very light on the brown sugar). I covered the skillet and set it to low - it's been cooking maybe an hour. When Jason gets home I'll slice the pork into medallions.

I also made mashed potatoes, stovetop stuffing (with onions and apples), a bit of store bought pork gravy, and some steamed veggies...

Sounds yummy! Let me know how it turned out :)
