European Recipe ∼ Slow Cooker Pork, Sauerkraut, and Beer

A family slow cooker favorite that's easy to put together. The beer enhances the flavor of the sauerkraut and pork. There is no need to brown the pork roast before placing it in the slow cooker. I serve this with scalloped or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin roast
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
• ½ (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle light beer
• ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste, cut into small pieces

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the crock of a five-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
2. Season roast with salt and pepper; lay in the prepared slow cooker crock.
3. Spread sauerkraut over and around the roast. Pour beer over the sauerkraut. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the sauerkraut; top with onion and dot with butter. Season everything with salt and pepper.
4. Cook on Low for 8 hours.
