For a richer flavor, brown the pork loin in a skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. If the sauerkraut is too tart, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or a diced apple to balance the flavors. The longer the pork cooks on low, the more tender it will become, so don't be afraid to extend the cooking time if needed. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or horseradish for an extra layer of flavor.
