Slow Cooker Sauerkraut Pork Loin

We invented this crockpot pork loin and sauerkraut recipe both out of hunger and to use up a large batch of sauerkraut my mother-in-law made one summer. It takes just seconds to throw into your slow cooker, and you come home to a yummy dinner.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons spicy horseradish mustard
1 (4 pound) boneless pork loin roast
1 onion, chopped
1 granny smith apple, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut with juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups chicken broth

Directions

Rub horseradish mustard all over pork loin. Layer onion and apple in a slow cooker and set pork loin on top. Pour in sauerkraut and its juices. Season with salt and pepper, then add chicken broth.
Cover and cook on Low until pork is very tender, 6 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
