Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb pork shoulder roast
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 medium yellow onions, sliced
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced onions in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the pork roast on top of the onions.
  3. In a bowl, mix the drained sauerkraut, sliced apples, chicken broth, brown sugar, caraway seeds, thyme, and pepper.
  4. Pour the sauerkraut mixture evenly over the pork roast.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is very tender.
  6. Remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  7. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauerkraut mixture.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, sear the pork roast on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker.
  • If you prefer less tang, rinse the sauerkraut briefly under cold water before draining.
  • Serve this dish over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.
