This is great for serving a large crowd buffet-style on New Year's Day. The longer you cook this dish, the more flavorful the kraut will be! It can also be made in a slow cooker.

Time 3h52m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup bacon grease
2 large onions, chopped
2 (32 ounce) packages sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
2 apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
½ cup brown sugar
¾ teaspoon mustard powder
1 (3 pound) bone-in pork loin roast

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange sauerkraut and apples in a large roasting pan. Top with cooked onions and remaining bacon grease.
  • Mix chicken broth, brown sugar, and mustard powder together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until sugar dissolves and broth is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir and pour over sauerkraut mixture, mixing to combine.
  • Cut several deep slits in the top of the pork loin and place in the center of the sauerkraut mixture. Cover roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  • Roast pork in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). Continue roasting pork until tender and pulls apart easily, 2 to 3 hours. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled, about 15 minutes.
  • Discard pork bones, shred pork using 2 forks and return to pan with sauerkraut mixture. Stir well to combine.
