CROCK-POT SAUERKRAUT & PORK

Crock-Pot Sauerkraut & Pork image

This is New Year's Day tradition in my family, although made on a larger scale using homemade kraut, this works just fine. Adjust the amount of kraut and pork to fit the size of your crock. Will melt in your mouth and will disappear quickly!
