My husband liked this a lot. I halved the recipe, added a granny smith apple, added hard cider (instead of beer) and did not halve the caraway seeds. I thought it was a little bland, but I would make it again.

we enjoyed the taste of caraway in this recipe. the 2 lb. boneless center cut roast i cooked came out tender but was on the dry side (what i had in my freezer, next time i'll stick with the recommended pork loin roast). thankfully the juicy sauerkraut helped to keep the meat moist while we ate. this kind of dish tastes better when made a day ahead & serves well with mashed potatoes. thanks kathie!

I like using the crock pot about once a week, and this recipe was outstanding! I ate about 2 portions due to how much I enjoyed it. I did add brown sugar, beer, and Granny Smith Apples like other reviewers had mentioned.

Very moist and tasty. It just needed a little something extra. I'll try the apple next time. Did taste better the next day though. I'll definitely keep it around.

This recipe is pretty good! The pork was moist and it pulled apart nicely. Like others I added 2 chopped granny smith apples (no sugar). I also added 1 12 oz can of coke. Next time I won't add salt to the meat as it was a tad too salty for my taste.

Good recipe, but I will add brown sugar next time to sweeten it up. I didn't particularly like the caraway seeds.

This was great. We're not even fans of sauerkraut, but the meat was soooo tender and delish! Seasoned the roast with seasoned salt and pepper and browned in a little olive oil first. Added an apple and brown sugar as per previous reviewers; also about 1/2 a white onion and some thyme leaves. Really really good.

Well, it only took me 30 years to find the definitive receipe for pork and sauerkraut...this recipe is great!! I followed the advice of many of the other reviewers on here by adding 2 large, sliced, granny smith apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 16-ounce jars of sauerkraut. My crock pot seems to need extra help with roasts, so I cooked mine for roughly six hours on low with an additional four hours on high. The meat was falling-apart-tender, and the kraut had just the right amount of sweet and sour to it...served this with garlic mashed potatoes. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight! Thank you for the great recipe!!

This recipe was an unqualified success for us. Last year I tried the Overnight Pork Roast With Cabbage and was quite disappointed, but I did love the rub that that recipe uses. So, this year, I used that rub and then just put the roast in the slow cooker with the sauerkraut. The roast was falling apart tender! What an incredibly delicious and easy recipe!!

As a chef/caterer, I was looking for a stress free, traditional New Years meal. I was exhausted after the busy holiday season. Not a crockpot fan, but decided to take a chance on this recipe, because of all the positive reviews. You were right! It's a keeper. I also added apple & beer, but no caraway...husband hates it. I would think that it would really enhance the dish though. I also made horseradish mashed potatoes. Yummy! Will make this every New Years day and more!!!

Great recipe. Like others, I added 1/2 cup of beer, and a little brown sugar. This time I used a 2 pound pork loin and cooked for about 3 hours. The pork was falling apart!! Will make again. Thanks!

We made some changes to this and it was wonderful! First of all, we left out the carraway seeds because I didn't think my husband would like their flavor. Second, we added 2 granny smith apples and about a 1/2 cup of beer. The result was fabulous! The pork was so tender. We will make again. Thanks!

I followed other reviewer's advice and added 2 sliced Granny Smith apples and 2 Tbsp of brown sugar. My husband and I loved it. The pork was so tender and the saurkraut so good. I'll make this again - in fact, it will be our New Year's Day dinner going forward.

This was really good, the pork was super tender. I work all day so I throw it all in the pot, put it on low and it sits for ten hours until I get back home. I liked the taste of the caraway seeds, and I did add a Granny Smith apple as suggested by other reviewers, but didn't have any beer to add. The bf the kraut-lover, was dissapointed that the apple took away the sour from the sauerkraut, (which was the point), so I may try it without the apple next time. A good, really easy recipe, good wish mashed potatoes. Will make again.

This is a really good comfort food recipe. The trick may be in the sauerkraut, buy it in the jar/bag in the refrigerator section of your grocery store. The local brand that I buy is Claussen, the kraut in a can just can't compare. I prepared the recipe as written, adding only a little brown sugar as suggested by previous reviewers. Next time, and there will definately be a next time, I'll try adding the apples. I served this with steamed carrots, rolls, and green salad. The pork roast was so tender and juicy it fell apart and the sauerkraut was excellent. Thank you for a really easy tasty meal.

Wonderful recipe, thank you Kathie. Modifications include adding the brown sugar, thoroughly rinsing the sauerkraut, adding a bottle of dark beer and omitting the caraway seeds for my fussy husband. I added only one apple, next time I will add at least one more as they turned out so yummy. This one goes into the recipe box.

I went looking for a recipe for pork and sauerkraut to see if I was missing any ingrediants in my recipe that I've been making on New Years Day every year for 25 years. Well, here is my recipe! The only changes I make personally is that I start the stuff on New Years Eve before we go to bed and let it cook all night and all day before we eat it. I add brown sugar to take the bite away from the kraut (about 2 tablespoons). The longer it cooks, the better. It gets nice and browned and my family loves this once a year treat. We serve with mashed potatoes and applesauce and dinner rolls. This is THE lucky New Years Day dish to be served for good fortune. Even better reheated the next day.
