Recipe advice anyone?

So..any stellar ideas for a really special Pork and Kraut kinda meal? Especially something in a crockpot? Making New Years day dinner for the BF's parents.

What kind of pork do you want to make? Ribs, loin, chops? If you can give me an idea of that I can give some suggestions. My Mom makes a really great pork ribs with kraut in the crock pot. Also let me know if it is just something in the crockpot that you want to do. I have a really great turkey meatball recipe that can be addapted for a WLS recipe. Let me know. Melissa

It should probably be a loin/roast type of thing. It definately MUST be pork as it will be New Years Day and they ALWAYS have pork and kraut. I am thinking I can just season the pork ...put the saurkraut in first and then put the pork on top and let it go....but am willing to look for any new ideas someone has tried.

4-6# Pork Roast 1-2 pkgs Kraut drained Cook on Low for 6-8 hours and enjoy. This is kindof what my Mom has done. She browns the pork roast after seasoning it with just some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. She then puts it into the crockpot coveres it with the kraut...jiuce and all, and lets it cook throughout the day. Sometimes she will add potatoes as well so you could do that also if so just add more water than just the juice from the crock pot. The potatoes would be filling for everyone else and you could pick around them! Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 6-8 hours This is one that I found on line sounds pretty good. We may even try this one! I like top use the crock pot for this one. Put some kraut in the bottom, layer some onion slices, sprinkle some caraway seeds, add some chopped green apples, place the roast on top and then add more onion, caraway, apples and kraut (don't drain the kraut). Sometimes I add red potatoes also. Cook slowly! I hope this helps... Melissa By the way if you are interested I have a seasoning packet that is for crockpot pork by rival. I have a friend send me loads of it from SD where I lived for a very short time. I have not been able to find it anywhere else. All the seasonings are there and it is spectacular. Let me know and I will send you the name and or a package of it. It should get there in time if I send it tomorrow. Let me know I would be happy to do so!

Try Pork ( your choice) Kraut, some onion (to taste) and some apples. All in the crock pot. We do it with Chicken (beacuse I am allergic to beef and pork) and we love it. I usually serve it along side mashed potatoes topped with a spoon of sour cream Good Luck, Tara

Ok its not a Kraut type thing and its not cooked in a crock pot. But its SUPER yummy and takes no time at all from start to the table.
