I did not follow the recipe exactly, but I did take the main idea from Suzy. It was incredibly easy. I just tossed the kraut on top of the roast, threw the spices, onions, etc. into my 4-quart Nesco. Since there was just the two of us, I only used a 3 lb. pork roast.
I Covered it and let it cook for about 7 hours. The first hour was high heat, then I turned it to about 250 degrees.
Every now and then I picked up the cover and gave it a stir.
That's about it.
The roast turned out nice and tender, falling apart as I sliced it.
Suzy says that it is lucky to eat sauerkraut at the beginning of the new year. I hope this is still considered the beginning. I could use some luck if I decide to go back and play those EBAY machines again.

Another good sauerkraut recipe is to take brats, or other fat sausages, lay them in a baking dish, layer with very thin sliced potatoes, a layer of sauerkraut, a very find sprinkle of brown sugar, more potatoes and kraut, sugar, until it's a couple of layers. Cover with foil and bake about 300 for 2 hours or more. OMG is this good. Your could also do it in your cute blue baker too!

Patti, Thanks for the recipe. It does sound good. I don't think I have eaten sauerkraut and potatoes together in one dish. I bet it would be good with Kielbasa. I rarely use my little Nesco, but I think that will change now that I have found how easy it is to just let something cook all day long.

Suzy, Yes, I liked it. I didn't put as much sugar in mine and no caraway seeds.
ReplyDeleteI am having the leftovers tonight.
I do have a crock pot and need to use it once in a while. I like pulled pork and corned beef the best in it. Not a big kraut fan. I do have some brats in the freezer and I may try Patti's recipe minus the kraut. I guess I've seen too many nasty pots of it on hot dogs carts over the years and I don't like the smell. I don't mind cabbage-could you replace that with the kraut?
ReplyDeleteI really like your posts- hope you don't mind if I become a regular reader, I can use all the help I can get for creative ideas when it comes to cooking or decor. Thanks for sharing!
