Crock Pot Pork and Sauerkraut

Crock pot pork roast is one of my all-time favorite meals. If you decide to make it, make sure you choose a shoulder pork roast that's got a nice marbling of fat and some dark meat. It only takes a few extra minutes of foresight to turn "what the heck are we having for dinner" into "Wow this tastes amazing."

Ingredients:

Shoulder-cut pork roast, about 2 lbs.

Water

Sauerkraut

3 Tablespoons of brown sugar

Black pepper

Instructions:

Place the pork roast fat-side-down in the crock pot and add water to about a third of the way. Mix up saurkraut with brown sugar and add to the crock pot. Season with black pepper.

Place the cover on the crock pot and set on low. Cook for 3 or 4 hours, checking occasionally to make sure that your roast isn't overcooking (depends on the size and the amount of fat - lean roasts will dry out faster, even if they're in the slow-cooker).

Slice against the grain and serve with applesauce, red cabbage, and mashed potatoes. Yummo!
