Jolean's Crock Pot Old World Sauerkraut Supper image

This is a German recipe that my Mom made for us every New Year's Day. Although my siblings didn't care for sauerkraut, Mom INSISTED that we eat pork & sauerkraut for good luck on New Year's Day back in the 70's. Well, this is the recipe that we ALL loved, and I handed it down to my kids as well...A true tradition in my family, and a recipe that I found in one of Mom's Crock Pot Cookbooks from 1970, but tweaked just a bit so we all would like it! Truly yummy, totally filling, and the switch-up she made to using "Bavarian" sauerkraut makes all the difference in taste! Both of my ex-DH's love this recipe and brag about it to other people to this day...
