Pork and Sauerkraut in the Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Pork and Sauerkraut - ButterYum

If you like Pork and Sauerkraut, you're going to love this easy version.

I'm only posting the before photo. Why you ask? Uh, well, let's face it... a pot full of monochrome brown food isn't particularly photo friendly, but trust me, it'll taste great! Seriously, I recently brought a double batch to a church dinner and it was all gobbled up!

Pork and Sauerkraut in the Slow Cooker
recipe serves 6-8 (can easily be doubled to fit in a 6.5 quart slow cooker)

3 lbs. Boneless Country-Style Pork Ribs
1.5 lbs. Sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
10 ounces French Onion Soup (canned works)
1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)

Start by cutting the boneless ribs into bite-size cubes and put them in your slow cooker or crock-pot. Next rinse and drain the sauerkraut and place it on top of the pork. Lastly, mix together the soup and brown sugar and pour over the sauerkraut. Cover and cook on low for 12 hours or high for 6 hours. Stir together and serve.

Notes:

• If you don't have French Onion Soup on hand, you can substitute water and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder or minced onion. I prefer Progresso brand French Onion Soup.
• To fill a 6.5 quart slow cooker, double the recipe above.
• A single recipe fits in a 9x13 casserole dish and can be baked in the oven. Cover the dish with foil, place it on a shallow rimmed cookie sheet to catch any drips, put in a cold oven, set the oven temp to 350F, and bake for 4 hours.
