Description

This slow cooker pork roast and sauerkraut recipe with kielbasa is delicious when served with fluffy mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorsome sauce.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 cup minced onion
1 large red apple, diced
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 pounds sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
1 pound kielbasa sausage, cut into 3-inch pieces

Directions

1 Heat bacon drippings in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot drippings until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in apple and caraway seeds and cook until apple is just tender, about 3 minutes more. Stir in sauerkraut until incorporated.
2 Stir together white wine, chicken stock, and brown sugar in a medium bowl; pour over sauerkraut mixture.
3 Place pork roast into a slow cooker. Pour sauerkraut mixture over the top of pork.
4 Cook on Low until pork easily falls apart when pulled with a fork, 6 to 8 hours. Add sausage and continue to cook until sausage is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes more.
