How to Make Slow Cooker Crock Pot Pork Loin Roast Kraut

  1. Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Season the pork loin roast generously with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of your favorite herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc).
  3. Sear the pork loin roast in the hot olive oil in the slow cooker on high for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. This step adds depth of flavor.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped and 2 cloves garlic, minced into the slow cooker.
  5. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth or apple cider into the slow cooker.
  6. Add 1 (16-ounce) jar of sauerkraut, drained.
  7. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  8. Remove the pork loin from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding with two forks.
  9. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
  10. Serve the shredded pork over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread, spooning the flavorful sauerkraut and cooking liquid over the top.
