I made this exactly as written. At the end of cook time, I tasted the veggies and was surprised at the outstanding flavor. I think I'll leave out the loin next time and use some sausage. Or, just make the veggies as a soup. Thank you, Caarol, for this winner!

I have made this twice already this year. My husband is from Lancaster, PA and grew up on Pork and Sauerkraut, this recipe is by far his favorite. I wouldn't change a thing with it!

Very good. Although I would not add the oregano next time(made it too Italian tasting)...the brown sugar did mellow out the sauerkraut...will probably add less brown sugar next time.

I did a variation of this recipe and others I've seen on Allrecipes, and it was AWESOME! I did not use the tomatoes, brown sugar or herbs called for in this recipe. What I did first was, brown the pork roast in olive oil in large pot, then added about 1 cup of chicken broth to de-glaze. Then added to the pot by layering 3 medium sweet potatoes (cut into 1 inch pieces) then carrots and celery and onion, 16 z of kraut and about 2 cups of apple pie filling. I baked for 2.5 hours at 350. It was DELICIOUS! My 3-year-old even ate it!

My husband loved this! I, too, used the crock pot on low for about 8 hours and the roast was falling apart. He prefers it a little sweeter but I just let him sprinkle a little Splenda over his kraut; to me it was not actually sweet at all, but not as sour as sauerkraut alone would be.

This was okay, the pork grows on you but I was REALLY disappointed with the sauerkraut. The kraut did not have ANY zip. I was glad that I had an extra can in the cupboard since we like the taste of sauerkraut. I probably won't make this again although it was really easy to prepare and I cooked it in the crockpot. UPDATE: won't make again, sorry for the bad review.

This was okay...when I first tasted it I did not like the flavors at all, but it is one of those dishes that tends to grow on you as you keep eating it. My husband did not care for this, and as I only mildly enjoyed it, I will probably not make this again. Thanks, anyway!

I am sorry. My family did not enjoy this dish at all. I made it exactly as written. Everything was cooked well, but we just did not like the flavor at all. Sorry for the bad review
