Slowcooker
Smoked Pork and Sauerkraut Recipes

Pork and sauerkraut recipes are truly traditional German recipes.





One of the most popular is Kassler with Sauerkraut. Kassler, or smoked pork chops, are expensive, so here's an inexpensive dinner alternative.

But, it is so-o-o-o much cheaper. Serve as shown with some German mustard. Delicious!

Instructions for this slowcooker recipe are similar to Smoked Pork Chops or Kassler with Sauerkraut.

Smoked Pork and Sauerkraut Dinner

kassler in slow cooker Ingredients:

  • Use 1 1/2 lb. peameal bacon roast or a smoked pork loin roast.
  • Use 4 potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold because they are firmer and don't fall apart as easily.
  • Use one 28 oz. can Sauerkraut, drained.
  • Liquid - 1 cup of either apple juice, orange juice, or water.

    Instructions:

  • Put Peameal Bacon Roast and drained Sauerkraut in slow cooker (crock pot).
  • Add peeled potato quarters to the slow cooker, making sure the potatoes are pushed well to the bottom. Potatoes need to be in liquid to cook properly. Even though there is not enough liquid in the cooker to start, there will be once it cooks for a few hours.
  • Pour in about 1 cup of apple juice, orange juice, or water.
  • Cook, covered on low to medium, for about 6 hours. Check your slow cooker instructions for approx. times.
  • Remove potatoes, meat, and sauerkraut. Keep warm.
  • Put cooking liquid into saucepan, bring to boil, and thicken with 1 - 2 tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in some cold water. Use as a sauce for the meal.
  • Serves 4.
