Description

Pork loin roast atop a seasoned bed of sauerkraut with onion, cranberries, and apple makes a great main dish for fall.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 onion, chopped
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season pork roast with salt and black pepper. Brown the pork in the hot oil, about 5 minutes per side.
3 Mix sauerkraut, cream of mushroom soup, onion, apple, cranberries, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spoon the mixture into a baking dish and place the pork roast on top of the sauerkraut mixture.
4 Roast in the preheated oven until the meat juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour. Remove roast and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with sauerkraut.
