For a richer flavor, brown the pork roast in the Dutch oven before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your taste preference; some may prefer a tangier sauerkraut. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious braising liquid. If you don't have bacon drippings, use olive oil or another cooking oil. Try adding other root vegetables like carrots or potatoes for a more complete meal.

Apr 5, 2025The pork was amazing. I think next time I will sear it before putting it in the slow cooker. I will cook this again soon!
