Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Sauerkraut and Apples

Directions

Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Sauerkraut and Apples - Chew Nibble Nosh

Mmmm…pork, sauerkraut, and apples.  There’s something about it all together that just warms the soul, and this slow cooker version is perfect for a busy, chilly fall night.

I started by browning up a 1 1/2 pound pork loin roast on the stove top.  I’d sprinkled it with some salt, pepper, and dried thyme beforehand, and made sure to brown it up well on all sides.

In my slow cooker, I mixed together two pounds of drained, rinsed sauerkraut, a red onion that I’d sliced thinly, an apple that I’d chopped, and some caraway seed.

Talk about easy, right?

Just a few simple ingredients, but they smelled so good as they cooked!  It’s one of those homey, yummy smells you wish you could just bottle up and keep around.  So, so good.

When it was time to eat, I lifted the lid off my slow cooker to find a perfectly tender pork roast, and a pot of amazing, hearty, tummy-warming, sweet and tangy sauerkraut, just ready for us to dive into.

I attempted to slice the roast into picture perfect slices, but the meat was so tender it just fell apart after the first couple of slices.  So, it wasn’t exactly award winning picture material, but it sure was tasty.  It was the perfect meal for a busy, chilly fall night.
