Slow Cooker Crock Pot German Pork Roast & Sauerkraut

Slow Cooker Crock Pot German Pork Roast & Sauerkraut is one of my favorite dishes. It makes cooking dinners for the family a snap using this easy to follow recipe. This recipe reminds me of being back in Germany! It was one of my favorite all-time trips between the great food, castles, driving on the autobahn, I even brought home a beautiful cuckoo clock. The food was so good everywhere we went that I think I gained 10 pounds on this trip! . I can’t say that there was only one dish that I loved because everything tasted great. The pierogies in this recipe makes a fun twist to this recipe and goes well with the pork and sauerkraut.
