Feedback of Slow Cooker Pork and Sauerkraut Recipes
THIS is simple good "FOOD".
Living in Dutch country PA heard about this from local friends and had to try it. I'm not normally a fan of sauerkraut, but this was a hit, especially with carrots and potatoes. I should have added salt to begin with, but a little on your plate does just fine. Best is the slow cooker method. I was even running late this morning but still found a few minutes to throw this in the crockpot and run. (Don't forget the water!) Came home to a warm, hearty dinner and a house that smelled amazing. Definitely make again.
Very similar to my mom's recipe from the 1970's, I substituted a bottle of beer instead of water and added a whole apple to cook along the potatoes and pork. I also used lemon pepper not plain black pepper.
Budget-friendly very tasty easy to make great to do before going to work leave on low and let cook when you come home dinner is done. 2 out of 3 people liked it so I will be making it again. The only thing I changed is I added a small handful of brown sugar to cut the bitterness if the sauerkraut just a bit. My mom used to do that. Look forward to making the rest of these recipes.
Mom taught me this recipe as a child, still using as is but have also substituted pork spare ribs (with or without bones) as well as pork chops! All turned out excellent!!
Love this recipe. I always have dumplings with my pork & sauerkraut.
No changes at all! It was great!
Very good, the only thing i did different was use Natrel lactose free Butter( Dairy allergy)
Made this as directed today [doubled] but am confused why there is a "standby" cup of water. The pork and sauerkraut have lots of liquid...by hour number 8 my sauerkraut was already done and everything was swimming in liquid. Flavor is fantastic and I'll cut back on the butter next time...and maybe add more pepper. Thank you for sharing!
